I was thinking of getting a set of these cams but are they just too large for an OBD1 JDM B16? I believe the stock compression is 10.4, if that is too low would a set of CTR's get me in the range of these cams? Thanks for your expert advice!

 

yes.

 

for that oem comp it's too much you need at least 13 to 1 of comp

 

hahaha....yes a tad too large

 

It would not be a optimal selection for that motor.

Wrong, comp is a tertiary effect. 13:1 won't make much if any difference. The problem is the 1.6 simply does not have the flow capacity to make much power below 7.5 K with that cam.

 

Yep.

Try M21X.

or rev that 1.6 to 10,000 plus

Yeap, but that just makes sh*tty power, lol.
I have a friend with s2s3s in a 1.6. It's pretty bad.
