planning to buy a new set of cams for my motor soon. but wasnt sure which one to get.
Evans said with sk2 stg2 i would be near 210-15hp but didnt really say if it was tuner or pro cams. so my question is which cams would be best for DD and maybe drag strip once in a while. having a lump/high idle doesnt bother me
below is my setup 192/148

Stock bore, ls/vtec, 12:1 Cp pistons, eagle rods, b17a head, ITR valvesprings, CTR cams, FR cams gears, ITR intake manifold, Max Bore 66mm LS Tb, Velocity stack Intake, Megan 4-1 2.5" collector header, s2000 injectors

 

If he said S2 stage 2 that means tuner series cams. If he said S2 Pro series 2 cams, that would mean pro 2 cams...VAST difference. If you're not sure, you could always ask him to clarify what he meant.

 

would there be a better cam to run with my setup?

 

Since Evans tuned it and knows your setup, I'd go with whatever he suggests.

 

I see your problem it's the head those b17a heads don't flow to good. You would see alot better numbers with a 95+ gsr head or even a newer b16a, type r head.

 

Lol,

B17A, B16A, B18C5, B18C are all PR3 heads.

 

I've been away for a while now, but since when did a 89x81 making 192 with shitty bolt-ons be considered "weak?"

 

Agreed.

Pretty strong for what it is.

 

LMFAo, someone should sig this.

 

What's scary is that he's been around since 2002 and still believes what he said....

 

the car was tuned 3years ago . wasnt sure if a new better set of cams came out

thanks for the replies

 

I'd consider the Skunk2 pro 1's for a build like yours.

 

You are correct i must retract my statement!. I was thinking of usdm **** and reading owns me. lol

 

If the OP changes the head and gets some sk2 stage 2 cams he would surpass the 200whp mark pretty easily.

 

B18c is either a jdm gsr or a jdm r.both jdm motors are stamped b18c.
The b17 head is in fact a pr3 head.

 

Please explain how the op is able to use the typer im on a b17 head if it weren't a pr3.

 

He basically has a type r head minus the oem mild port.

 

d-rob's car did great with the pro2 cams on a very similar build. I have a set for sale if your interested.

 

well after doing some reading on ht. looks like i need to upgrade my valve train to something better to run the stage2. might just get the stage1 to keep the valve train oem. but then is stage 1 even worth a upgrade from the ctr?

as for the heads...
92-93 integra gsr came with b17a1 engines with pr3 heads....
then they went to b18c1 with p72 heads

 

Why wouldn't you want to spend a whoppin $250~300 bucks to get sufficient VT for a larger camshaft? Not only would you make more power, but it's also pretty cheap insurance.

 

was trying to leave it as oem as much as possible. since thats what i started to do with at the start.
i also said i might do stage1 but not 100% sure. but i will probably end up doing the stage 2 and see which valve train to run that last more then 25k miles

 

the pro1's with matching valvetrain would make that motor much stronger than it already is. i like mine for the fact that the power curve looks like an LS with no hump for vtec.

Normally I wouldnt use Wikipedia for a refference but this is common knowledge.

Now what is it that your spoutin off about? Mar didn't say B18C1 he said B18C and is also the same block used for the JDM ITR which Im pretty sure is what he was refferering to.

Regarding the B16 & B17 its a PR3 casting, regarding the B18CR (jdm) or B18C5 (usdm) its a P73 which is virtually the same head with just a bit of refinement from the factory otherwise the same casting design as the PR3 hence intake manifold interchangeability, same port design, combustion chamber, etc.

 

Good deal.

 

i dont know about you guys but 148tq is pretty impressive to me with this motor
