hello i been doing some research and i still need some advice on skunk2 products.

i going to do a b18c1 all motor with mainly skunk2 products. and i still debating on what stage to get. my bro say stage 2 is better and shouldnt' go for 1. but then i heard that stage 1 is much safer. but also i heard that stage 2 is good for an all motor. mainly i'm going to stage 2 right now. until i get more advice and information.

thanks

 

Stage 1's make a good amount of power. Stage 2's make 8-10wHP more over the Stage 1's. But you gotta get stiffer valvesprings and retainers, and they're not CARB legal like the Stage 1's.

 

stage 2 are Jun3 copies.

you'll typcially have to rev higher to make your power.

I've seen some very impressive Stage 1 setups. I'd say stick with those.

 

so your just saying stay with stage 1?? well i want the most power out of that engine. i'm trying to get a setup that hits' 12's without any nos,turbo or supercharger.
but i also heard that there this one ls teg that has skunk2 that runs 14's but i'm not sure on what products that person has i only heard from people.
dont' get me worng but isn't rev higher is good for all motor?
i'm still researching about all motor performance. sorry if i sound like a noob.
thanks for your advice guys

 

o skunk2nr i know this is off topic but what your 1/4 time with your set up?

 

I had stage 2's but Stage 1's make good power.

With Stage 2's your going to need to up your compression ration.

 

I ran a 14.8 with I/H/E on stock tires... I haven't tried running with my new setup yet. I'll be goin to the Dyno then to the track. I'll post results up once I do.

 

if you're planning to built your motor later with high compression than go with the stage 2. but if you want to just leave it stock then go with the stage 1. hight lift cams and compression needs to work together.

 

Are the stage1s actually carb legal or just "carb legal pending"?

thanks allmotor monster
i'm planning one building a high compression engine with the help of my bro.
i'm not worry about the carb where i live

 

no problem man, just PM me or Email me if you need anything else. i also got some CM stage 4 clutch and CM flywheels for sale

 

stage 1's are carb legal...and are amazing.

 

Are the skunk2 stage1's a great deal better than the CTR or ITR cams? In terms of gains and smog issues.

 

get the stage 1's, the stage 2's are poo unless you have crazy compression

 

In order to get have them work effectively you need to have 11+ compression. Also it is important to not that once you go to stage 2 cams you loose idle characteristics and you will possibly need injectors and a fuel management system. Stage ones are a solid setup until you are ready to put in some bigger amounts of money...

 

Stage 2's idle fine. I run the Skunk2 chip and a Kenji chip in a P28 (not at the same time) and the engine idles fine with both. But I do have 12:1 compression.

 

Yes. They're more agressive than the ITR/CTR cams. It's easier to squeeze out more power from the Skunk2 cams than the ITR/CTR's.

 

How would the Spoon Cams compare with the Skunks...which are biger...?

 

If I remember correctly, the spoon cams give good midrange...but the skunks strength is high end.

i have to prove u wrong sir. ive been using my spoon cams for a few months now..tuned the cam gear o,o (top dead) cause its my evryday car.. the low end is very boring actually but when vtec kicks in at 4800(spoon ecu) it doesnt make power yet not until 5500 until 9500.. i just shift until 9500 cant go futher (scared ) hegheheh dunno about the skunk2 stage 1 or 2 though.. im willing to trade my spoon cams to skunk2 stage 2 btw(anyone?!) add a small amount of cash or skunk2 springs will do

 

hmmm... i need to find something that makes power before 8K!!! Something with the BEST midrange? anyone?

 

the spoon is the way to go... mid and top end power awesome but i think u need a bit more fuel for the spoon cam..

 

In that case, going with higher compression pistons with Stage 1s wouldn't do much? or just wouldn't do AS much as they would with stage 2s. In my case, i'm thinking about CTR pistons

 

Hi guys,
I'm planning to get skunk2 2's for a b16a2. And i've also been told that the stg2's NEED compression.
Why is this the case? Why do these cams NEED compression? Anyone?

 

High lift, long duration, long overlap cams need high compression in order to work and produce power.
