will i notice any difference going from stage 1 crower cams to stage 2 crower cams in my b18b?

 

Well...thats kind of the whole point, isnt it?

You would notive a bigger difference if you tune them, though. Cams NEED to be tuned to make them worth it.

 

stage 2 has a larger profile so yes in return the larger lift/duration will benifit your motor, but like the other poster said, tuning is key to seeing the most gains out of the upgrade

 

i have it tuned at -4 exhaust and - 1 intake side


this is what i have in it right now...


Act stage 4 clutch, pressure plate, and release bearing
AEM Cold air intake
AEM fuel rail
AEM tru time pulleys
B&M fuel pressure regulater, with gauge
Crower stage 1 cams
DC Sports 4 2 1 one piece header
Golden eagle adjustable cam gears
GSR obd2 injectors
Hondata intake gasket
lightweight flywheel
Skunk 2 intake manifold

No, you have it SET at those degree's, you need a Hondata, Crome, Uberdata or something like that to tune the actual air/fuel ratios and such. That is where you will be getting the most horsepower, not cam gears (although they help)

 

ya, i'll probably wait till the spring to do that though

My advice is to save yourself a LOT of headaches and aggravation and put in stage two cams when you have the time and money built up to have them street tuned at the same time. It will cost more, but it will be worth it. In fact, when I got my stage two D16 cam tuned, it was like driving a totally different car.

The powerband will widen
Peak horse can/will go up
Throttle response will improve.
Gas mileage can increase.

There are tons of reasons to do this right, i just don't want to see you have to have any extra problems.
