Default stage 3 cams

looking into cams for all motor setup...was gonna go turbo but now im leaning towards all motor again...

anyway the two i was looking at were skunk2 tuner's and blue print racing...

anyone running either one or both or know where there are any graphs of either one with supporting mods...tried searching but brings up every question anyone has ever had about cams...

not looking at building the block right now, its a fresh swapped jdm b18c gsr....

So you wish to just drop in some stage 3 cams in your stock motor?

no...i said i am not building the bottom end atm...i know i have to put new valve train in as i am just asking questions about cams...

i understand the process of building a motor, i was just looking for opinions, reviews, insight, graphs etc...

two cams i am looking at are skunk2 tuner 3's and blueprint 3's...if you have experience with either one, let me know your thoughts on performance

pro's are too aggressive without building the bottom end

Yes, you said not build the bottom end, you are out of your mind thinking of running any big cam on stock compression. Did you just pick the biggest cam you could find and say, "Hey, that sounds good!".


Why not build the block then buy cams, you don't need them now and need to learn some things first anyway, for you own benefit! Clearly you don't understand the process as you say you do so please go back to the drawing board on this one.

If you think pro 1's are too aggressive then what do you think stage 3's are!?!

For a stock setup, I find the skunk2 tuner 2's match well ( upgrade exhaust,header and intake , and works great with a upgrade intake manifold like skunk2 or blox ).

anything bigger and you are shifting power band way to high or wont take advantage of it.

If you check the skunk2 site, they have dyno graphs etc.

( also it seems the skunk2 tuner stage 3s are great for the lsvtecs and bigger displacement ) )

Best of luck

Lol, you obviously need to do some more research.

Dropping stage 3 cams in a stock bottom end sounds like a horrible idea. Pro 1 cams would be perfect, and definitely make more power than the stage 3s.

Tuner 2's are still relitively large for a stock motor and make 0 sense to install. Type stage 1s or type r cams. Which again aren't worth the 500 - 1000 for what they yield. And also need to be properly tuned to fully utilize the change.

LoL, and the comment about lsvtecs........... really?
Stage 3s would be equally useless in a stock lsvtec setup as well....... Also displacement has nothing to do with this equation because it's all relative to the compression in the motor.

Not really, same principles apply there as well.
Sure you can put them in no problem, are they going to make more power. probably not on a stock motor. They will over-cam the motor and not have enough air/compression to fully utilize them.

actually that is all you need to do per i had them in my stock motor and made power considering compression on k20a2 is 11:0:1 and a stock 86mm bore...there is more than enough to flow power for stage 3 cams

you do realize i mod the K section of the forum....

Compression is high, but most stage 3 cams are overkill for a stock motor.......... There are other things that factor into the equation besides compression, as mentioned in my previous post.

Good luck with it though!

1. you would get more help in the all motor forum
2. the skunk pro, endyn bumpstix and rocket cams all have been used in high hp all motor builds with great results.
3. the more displacement you have the better. a dart block and 2.2L stroker kit would be ideal
4. how did you become a mod and not know this?

i asked in the all-motor section as well

ummm, i do know all this for k-series but not b...

and screw stroker kits, waste of money, rather build my own and just get machine work done...

i was in the process of doing an all motor k24/k20 frank...I-beam rods...12:5:1 compression, PR stage 4 cams, blueprint valve train with flat valves...stock 87mm bore..ported rbc, etc...

check my sig, you can find all the parts needed for a k24 bottom end minus rods, pistons and bearings...

had to sell/trade my rsx cuz i lost my job, again the reason why i asked questions for b-series per my first b-series build

basically the same idea for the B, if you have the bottom end down it's just which of those 3 cams you like the most
