I have a 90 CRX DX with a B16A motor swap, generic intake/exhaust, Suspension Techniques F/R Swaybar, Energy Suspension Master Set,
Tok. 5-way adjustable shocks, Eibach Sportlines, Slotted Rotors, I just recently purchased a CTR Intake Cam, but its not installed yet, I know I will need the valve springs, maybe the Titanium Retainers..Do I need to install these at the same time? Or can I install the Intake Cam and do the springs and retainers later on (when I have a little more cash)? What mod should I do after this?

Thanks in advance

Brandon

 

you should be alright dropping the cam in now...but i would upgrade your valves/springs asap.

 

*phew* With all the go-fast parts you've got, I'd be more worried about slowing down... I'd convert to rear discs first of all, and maybe do a big brake upgrade (plus wheels & tires) before worrying about going faster

 

Personally I wouldnt before I had all the parts needed yea it wouldnt create to much wear but how many times a week do you have to break into the motor, Im currently building a b-16, with a t3 turbo. Im doing everything Im going tot before I put it in as far as internal and head work.

 

You should also get either CTR or ITR ex. cam, and install at the same time - it will cost you more to do it all bit by bit. Go with the valvespring and retainer upgrade.

I had Tom Fujita at http://www.portflow.com do my head and he suggested retainers to be installed as mine showed a little wear with promises of more wear to come

 

Brake upgrade. Definitely!

 

actually, stock springs and retainers are fine as long as you don't rev past 8K...but then, what's the point right?

 

Cam gears, pulleys, headers, cat-back exhaust. Just to name a few
