i have a 1st gen jdm b16a and i would like to put the best cams i can without upgrading my valvetrain, ive searched alot and was planing on blox tuner stage 1 but im not sure if i would need to upgrade valvetrain with these , any help please ?

 

BEST...what is BEST? You really think we can divine what it is that you're looking for without you telling us what you're looking for?

There's not really ANY aftermarket cam that you can get the full potential of WITHOUT upgrading the valvetrain.

It's NOT a marketing ploy when they say that a valvetrain upgrade is recommended or required.

 

so there is no stage 1 cams that i could use with stock valvetrain and still make good power with ?

 

Jesus...Research must be a lost art, these days!



You can't even get the full potential out of CTR/ITR cams without the valvetrain.

Do yourself a favor and upgrade your springs!

 

i realy just dont wanna have to pull the head off a perfectly healthy motor with only 40k on it dont realy have the money for new head gasket or arps or the valvetrain itsself, just lookin to make a little extra power

 

You dont have to pull the head to fit a new valvetrain, I just did it last week without doing it.
Search for the rope technique and use one of these...

Truth.

And, you have a b16 which makes power by revving, so it is even more important. Get springs and drop in something like BC3+ (available used at very reasonable prices) or even a set of Pro1s.

 

Now I can see why so many college folks are ALL ABOUT Top Ramen!

Think Pro1s would be a good choice for a STOCK B16?

 

ok well i got myself a set of crower dual valvesprings , havent gotten retaners yet but i was just wonsdering what cams i should go with now , its a stock obd0 b16a (10.2:1) i dont think i have enough compresion to runn pro 1s , what are other ppl running on their stock b16s ? let me know any advise is needed thanks

 

Just run the Buddy Club 3's and you'll be happy.

 

Op's motor won't have enough compression for those cams.

 

It'll work on those cams but for the sake of keeping things simple, Buddy Club 3's are the way to go.

 

idk i want something with a loud vtec crossover any other sugestions

 

if that's seriously what you're after you're in the wrong section of this forum. You need to click "appearance/cosmetic" next time.

If you want a loud vtec crossover, keep your engine stock, get a shitty intake like the j's whale ***** and a full exhaust system, and you'll be impress the 16 year olds at your highschool everytime.
