i know the swap is possible and im looking into doing it for alittle extra dd power...
my only question is will my older valvetrain have anny issue's with such a slight cam upgrade?

also will my factory ecu be ok running this set-up? this is just a dd and im not looking too chop and tune it for such a small gain...

but if there is a gain no matter how small and the factroy ecu can take it and still be smooth and dd reliable i might take a sunday and install a set....

thanks guys

also and or will b20b cams be better? this is on stock intake manifold and tb also not sure if it matters

 

what cams are you talking about?

 

im talking about swaping the 1994 ls b18b1 cams in or the b20b crv cams into my 1991 b18a1 da teg....i have heard it's a minor upgrade i have searched

 

Youll be fine putting them in. IIRC its not much of a difference at all probably won't be noticeable

 

thats kinda what i read on searching above...so everyone thinks the oem ecu will be fine on b18b1 cams or b20b cams? car is driven through all climates and temps its my dd...

 

It is not a great idea, you are not going to notice that mod to much, It is better to expend the money in something else that is going to help you

 

well im going too be getting the cams for like 15bucks each...
car is due for a timing belt any way...

 

if you're doing this for a learning experience, have at it. if you expect any gains, dont hold your breath.

 

no not for a learning experince no lol...not my first dance on engine work lol...
bascially out of boredness and i need too do a timing belt soon... for maintence...


basically as simple as this

if i had b18a1 cams layed out and b18b1 cams layed out and you had a choice between the two witch would you pick? if the answer is b18b1 cams i might do the swap just cause...if it wont hurt power im thinking im gonna do it...

 

Just get some regrinds! from delta camshafts or web camshafts.

 

i would need a tune/spring upgrade for that and im not spending that money for true aftermarket cams...if im gonna spend that much i will just do a vtec head swap...

 

So do you have them laying around or do you plan on buying them? If you plan on buying them and you already have a1 cams I wouldnt, only if you had them both laying around would it be a good idea

 

thanks above for the response...i have a 96 b18b1 exhaust cam but i will need source a intake cam off a ob2 car...are local salavage yard has one for 30bucks...might go pick it up and when im doing a timing belt swap them out

thanks for the help honda-tech

 

I believe the exhaust cams are the only difference and the intake intake cams are the same, so youll be good and don't need to buy anything.

 

ooo didnt know that nice....if it's just the exhaust cam this will go really quick and yeah if it's just exhaust cam i aint gonna notice **** lol...im still thinking im gonna do anyway

 

I believe its the exhaust one I know only one of them are different but you might want go look at the specs just to be sure its the exhaust that's different
