any clue on ure current hp output?

 

I would just go to a bigger cam and be happy with your current engine.

 

Car's craving for a bigger set of cams. I believe a better set of cams would keep you set on your poorman setup rather then going through such a change.

 

Yep along with a shorter final drive.

 

what cams would you recomend with this set-up? if i keep this set-up and change the cams, would i be rapeing b20v's?

 

Whats a "poorman?"

 

go for gold..

poorman..serious question or being sarcastic lol i can never tell with you -_-.

 

if he's refering to a poormas type R, wich I think he refered, then he got it wrong...people just say a poorman's type R to a B18C1 shortblock + R pistons + stock b16 head...if that changed...I dunno...

Just get better cams + a better intake manifold...that should do it...
what exhaust are you running ? and Ecu Engine management are you tuned or getting tuned ?

 

That motor is begging for pro 2's and a performer x manifold.

 

sounds nice what about the skunk 2 manifold and some blox cams

 

Because a performerX is a better manifold for 1.8's..

and blox cams, because they are cheaper?? pro2's would surely do fine for this setup.. there's alot of cam options out there.. you need to do alittle reading in the 1.8 liter dyno thread.

 

Agreed. Better Cams and slightly shorter final drive, and No No on the BLOX. Get some real cams, my friend.

 

I agree with the Pro 2 cams, and a port-matched/polished professional product intake manifold. I threw one on and it made a world of difference. I just need cams, a valve train, and 3" intake tubing now...

 

Go with the B20vtec.

 

ATS 4.9 final drive :D lol Highway trips get a little annoying though when your turning 4500RPM.

 

b20 ftw !

 

what about a b20 bottom end with eagle rods and oversize itr pistons and skunk 2 s2 cams
