CRX b16 with gsr cams i/h/e and adj cam gears.....

I know a dyno will only tell me what works best..... BUT i would like to know what would be an ok starting point to put them at for a little more performance(BESIDES ZERO)

IF all you have to say is "get your car dynoed" please dont bother replying

 

seriously if u know the answer to the question why bother posting in the first place u wont know if u getting more power unless u dyno it 2-3 hp can be gained and all but u could loose hp if u do something wrong its to easy to do it wrong and unless someone had ur b16 in their car before with the same mods they wont know either compression is different in everyones cause its an old motor they have different intakes different headers and different exhausts no one can REALLY tell u what to set them at and be correct stick with tdc untill u can get some more $$ for some dyno time and an afc will also help with getting the most power outa the cams also

 

Longest sentance evAr. Give +2 intake -1 exhaust a try, those #s have been floating around for awhile.

nvm.

fyi, i have edited this thread as i see it going in the wrong direction...

so either give some help or don't post here. thanks.

 

thanks

 

What's up daniel? Around intake +2 and -1 exhaust seems to be the hot setup on a b16. Adding some FP may help too, i would assume that the GSR cams are delivering more air than the b16 cams, plus I/H/E may be causing you to lean out a little.

If the GSR cams have more overlap than the stock b16 cams you may want to just go +1 on the intake and leave the exhaust at 0. Or +1, +1. If you had the stock b16 cams I would say just go with intake +2 and exhaust +1, but I'm not sure what the diferences between the GSR and b16 cams are.

gsr cams have less overlap as theyre good for boost

 

i went +2 intake and 0 on exhaust and that seemd to liven things up a bit. it was good enough for a 14.7@ 92 in az in the middle of summer.

 

+2, -2 seemed to work the best on my b16.
Remember, it will vary, depending on what mods you have done, and cams you have...

 

You confused me girlie cause you listed na mods but you started talking about boost. If your NA then you want to advance your intake first, then retard the exhaust, this will increase valve overlap and make a na engine breathe easier. try intake +1 or 2 on the intake and -1 on the exhaust. boost is a different story, you want to loose as much overlap as possiable so you don't blow your nice boosted AF mixture right out the exhaust. I havw mine at -3 intake, +2 exhaust. don't go over +,- 3 on stock valve clearances. hope this helps and you've prolly heard 10000 trolls say this but damn you're one gorgeous woman

 

Just curious, is this a popular setup for optimal torque gain, or overall hp? I've REALLY been curious about cam gear timing for a while now and have never been able to get a clear definitive answer.
