Will I get some additional power if i put CTR intake cams and ITR exhaust cams. Some people say its too much overlap and stuff like that but I want to know what some of you guys have out there with some of the turbo b16's or even people you know have it...

Thanks

 

those both will work. you will need adjustable gear to get that overlap out. but the lift is good.

How much adjusting will I have to do to the cams? Will it be something like +1,-1?

 

if you want to go oem just stick to itr cams less overlap and work pretty good at 0,0

 

lots of guys with 500+ hp run stock gsr cams. itr cams are overkill for turbo imo, unless you can get them for free or durt cheap.

 

So bascially your saying GS-R cams are the way to go .

 

GSR all the way. best oem turbo cams

 

Yup

 

I just got off the phone with East Coast Motorsports in New Jersey and the guy just told me that the best cams to use in a B16a is the oem cams. I was hearing this before but I thought that you can use some other cams besides the stock ones. But GS-R cams dont's sound bad ya know!

 

I'd doubt that for a first gen. SiRkid is making badass power with itr cams. gsr cams arent bad either from what I hear. I think I'm gonna get some itr cams for my application.

 

I see what your saying. Is there anyone out there that has dynoed there B16 turbocharged with ITR cams in there?

 

ok 1st your a ******* moron to turbo something w/ itr or ctr cams
2nd low lift high duration = bad news bears w/ boost
3rd gsr cams are not the best oem cams for boost. b18b cams are
4th, why non vtec cams w/ boost? vtec is useless w/ boost plus rotational mass on the vtec cams will hinder performance


high lift low duration = boost cams

 

ok 1st your a ******* moron to turbo something w/ itr or ctr cams


Are you referring this to me!

 

GSR cams are the way to go. Jinxproof and littlebluecrx are both running consistant 10sec passes in street driven cars with GSR cams set to 0,0

 

well actually jinxproof is running an inlinepro headgaskets which offsets your timing by two degrees, so if his cam gears are set at 0,0 they are actually at +2,+2, since when he put on the headgasket the cam gears had to be set at -2,-2 to get it back to tdc

 

if an LS is the best and makes the most power for turbo application.. why is everyone that is running 8-9 secs in the quater mile running a vtec motor? i dont think i know of one person who has an LS running 8-9's.. im not saying LS's dont make good power, but what you are trying to say is that vtec motors suck for turbo applications... which is not true.

chill mate.
noone is a moron here (well besides you, for throwing a fit).
both ITR and CTR cams have higher lift than OEM B16 cams (any year) long duration is good as well, as long as you don't overlap the intake and exhaust.
and VTEC is good for both NA and FI, having two cam profiles is great no matter how you look at it.
B18B good for high revving applications?!
please rethink you story and come back.
cheers.

you wont go wrong with gsr cams. 1st gen b16's had the weakest cams

 

TorteX , I see where your point is, but there are too many variables that can come into play for you to say what you said.

LSA is the most important factor here, engineering cams for a turbo application is a tedious process, becasue LSA is so important, the easiest way out of having to deal with LSA is to use stock cams set at 0.

To say that there is no market for aftermarket turbo cams is an incorrect statement. Yes, plenty of people have found immense amounts of power on stock cams, but RPM and piston speed corrolate just as much with this as anything alse. Precise LSA selection is the main factor here, but I'm sure you already know that.

Head flow? LSA? Piston Speed? Like I said, there are too many variables for such a broad statement.

This statment is incorrect and uncalled for.

Well put Riceboy

 

GSR cams are the way to go for sure if you want to stick with a oem cam, which is the better way to go in my opionion>

High lift low duration makes for a killer turbo cam. Can we say ITR/CTR regrinds. Get the base circle ground down a little by Crower.

 

non-vtec is the best for turbo, if u get rid of vtec, no vtec lag in hte turbo, so he is correct, me personally, i would do other thing first, like pistons and fuel system b4 cams, but hey that me not u

 

Get crower cams made for turbo applications.

 

How much are the crower turbo cams, think about the price for those and the price for a stock cam , and then see if what you are paying for crower is really worth the horsepower which will be minamal compared to the stock cams.
