ctr intake & b16 exhuast?
both ctr cams?

no. get a set of r springs or dont run them. the single b16 valve springs are not stiff enough. people run just the intake cam on gsrs that have dual springs on the intake side

 

anyone else?
any other opinions?

 

how old is your b16?

you can run the cams on the stock valvetrain if you stick to the stock rev limit. but, depending on the condition of your springs, i wouldnt even risk that.

Bro.... A stock Type r valve train will cost you about $200-250 if yo look right. IT's the minimum you should go with. It's a small price to pay, when you consider all the **** you are going to have to go through if you float a valve. I'm telling you this because i just had it happen to me on my friends motor THAT I BUILD. I tried to cut a corner not upgrading the valve train for some BRAND NEW CTR cams, and now i'm regreting it. I Got to take off the head, replace valve(s) Don't know how many yet, i had a valve job done so resurface that valve seat(s)-------&gt; $$$ , new headgasket, re-adjust valve lash (SUCKS!!!), re-TUNE if you want to run right, & hope the cylinder walls didn't get F'ed UP!!! THAT"S ALOT OF **** TO DO OVER AGAIN.
U are gonna want to rev pretty high, because that's how CTR cams will make you feel. But past the 8's in RPMs, is when your motor will take a ****. We had type r Valve train (USED THOUGH, from ebay ) and at about 8,700 RPMS, one of the retainers let go of one of the Exhaust valves..... Imagine a stock B16 valve train!!!!!!

Bro, it's not worth cutting this corner, unless you honestly 100% sure you stick to the stock rev limit, but even then..... TOO much to risk and whats the point of having CTR cams without being able to REV the **** out of THEM....

Hope you wait till you can afford valve train. Oh yeah, and you should use both CAMS..... it's gonna be hard to get rid of just ONE CTR Exhaust cam, plus you already have them.

ooooooh thanks man just what i needed someone to tell me straight out liek that. thanks i appreciate it. guess cams are just gonna sit until i find money to upgrade valvetrain.

 

We put some in my buddies b16 with the stock valvetrain. He has been running the dogshit out of it and no problems after 3000 miles. He didnt even do a valve adjustment which I recommended to him. They fit like a glove and VTEC sounds great. I agree with the last guys response because its almost like insurance. But, if you can hold back from the temptation of taking that bitch to 8500 rpms. Then throw them in there. Its really easy to do. Good luck.
