Hi

I read a thread a while ago regarding Blox A and B cams for turbo - suggestions were made but no results were available

Im looking at upgrading my B16 cams on my LS/Vtec Turbo (B16A head) build

Seeing as the Blox cams and ITR cams retail in the same price range I was wondering which would be the best option to go with for a 550 whp target 81.5mm LS/Vtec

I am aware that Skunk2 PRO 1's are the ultimate cam but they are beyond my budget at this point

If there are any users of the above cams on Turbo applications please post them up and/or give feedback

Im looking for the best cams in the $300 - 350 price range

Thanx

 

i would go with the blox b's and get there springs and retainers. Ur goal can be achieved with any cam above with the right tune, turbo, setup, and amount of boost.

 

i had ctr cams...i just picked up a set of blox B's...i have no dyno results yet...but they idle like stock..with my gears at 0,0

 

Iam happy with my ITR cams. I think I may have the same set up as you. LS/Vtec... I picked up around 30-40whp without turning up the boost. Just my 2 cents.

 

If you don't mind would you please give me some feedback when you do get some dyno results I think it would be very helpful to a lot of H-T'ers !!!

Thanx for the replies - lets see if we can get some more info and results

 

yes i sure will

 

Any new info ???

 

i would like to know more about this as well.

 

I have blox a's/ and they work perfect for my setup and idle like stock.

 

skunk 2 pro 1s is where its at

 

same here

 

our street car makes

525 WHP with ITR's on 23 psi on a T61 t4 turbo

when we swapped to blox B's it made 525 on only 19 psi . less boost and same turbo setup

also gained anywhere from 20 around the mid range

great cams !!!


pm me .. i got a few sets in stock !!

 

Bump for any more info,looking buy some at the end of the month. Really liking same hp at lower boost.

 

What is the blox B most equivalent to in skunk2 cams?

 

stage 2's

 

Any new results with Blox B's on Turbo application ???

 

Stock Bottom end?? What's your compression ratio??

 

Fully Built Sleeved 84x89mm LS/Vtec
9:1 Compression
69 lb/min Turbo

 

 

How do the Blox B's compare to the tuner 1's?

 

My brother has Blox Type B's for his turbo set up. Great power at low boost.

Old set up with b16 cams it made 411whp at 17psi....just slapped on a 30r turbo from a 60-1 turbo and blox type b cams and it made 455whp at 15psi.

 

Which cams are you talking about? I see there are "BLOX Tuner Series, Type B Camshafts" and "BLOX Competition Series, Type B Camshafts"? Again, anyone compare these to the Skunk2 Tuner 1's?

 

The pro 1's are the ultimate but there not really streetable and they put excessive wear on valve train. its really a track car only cam. Nothign wrong with OEM ctr or itr. I run itr an dlove them. If i were to upgrade iw ould go with blox b or skunk2 tuner2

 

Pro-1's can be made it idle like stock and are streetable, they are just not for every setup like alot of people recommend... they do wear parts out faster, but in a performance street motor this is something that can be lived with IMO.

I am pretty sure on my old setup that I could of picked up almost 100whp at the same boost going from GSR Cams to Pro-1's, or a solid 50whp going from GSR to ITR, for that kind of increase (80-100whp on certain setups) I can deal with a little accelerated rocker wear with the Pro-1's.

Tuner2's are similar to Pro-1's but they dont really spool the Turbo any faster and make less power on the low cam.

 

Agreed ! The tuner2's are just not as aggressive on valve train wear but pretty much anything with alot of lift is going to wear items quicker than that of a stock itr/ctr cam profile
