Like the topic says...
I find this hard to be true. and want to hear who else out there claims the same results or similar before I "OK" the purchase on these cams.

Here is his set-up:
B16A
I/H/E
Dual Valve Springs & Ti-Retainers (Intake & Ex.)
Hondata
Skunk 2 Intake Manifold
RC 310's
Stock Head
Stock Block

Here are the Dyno #s:

B16A + Bolt On's & GSR Cams = 152WHP -

B16A + Bolt On's & Skunk 2 Cams = 168WHP -

B16A + Bolt On's & XS Power Stg. 2 Cams = 176WHP-

Camspecs:
Intake 0.461,293; Exhaust 0.468,295

Results: +24WHP

What Cha Think?

 

well, its not uncommon for someone advertising parts to state optimistic numbers. but then again, the motor you described isn't stock, like you said in the title. what kind of tuning did they do for each set of cams?

 

Isn't XS Power the crappy turbo maker?

 

yeah it sure is

then surely there not lying

 

Had a customer bring me a set of XS Power cams he wanted me install onto this B16A. So I pull the stock cams off and proceed to install the news ones, but the cam won't seat in the journals. WTF? After a while, I found that the ridge of the cam that centers it on the journals was .9mm thicker than the stock cam, meaning it wouldn't fit on the journals!!

Needless to say, he quickly sold them and bought CTR's, lol.

bwahahahahaha good old 60grit will take care of that

 

I feel bad for whoever he sold them to instead of trashing them, but you get what you paid for on E-bay.

here are the specs:
-remove cams from box
-throw cams in trash
-use box to hold nuts and bolts

using these cams is a big gamble. i would be afraid to put parts in my motor that surely have never had any r&d. spend the extra money and get quality parts; it will pay off in the long run.

 

Theres a guy on ebay that buys them from xs power for about 90 dollars right from there website, and makes a bullshit auction and they go for 3-400 bucks! i cant beleive it it really really really pisses me off!

 

does any one know the valve lash on these im puting them in my g sr....

 

Why would you do that? I actually installed them on a friends GSR, first off the key way didnt even want to go onto the gear itself, than after applying the timing we though everything was good yet it kept jumping timing. We threw them out and installed OEM ITR cams and everything went smoothly. Stay away from these cams please.

 

would any one install a xs power crank in there block?. if not why would u install something as vital as camshafts

Hello, I am again.
Nobody has information about these cams?
As governing? How many degrees lead?

I have purchased and there is nothing about them.
Thanks

Because they're crap... They are made of a harder metal/steel then other cams.. they'll wear your rocker arms out within weeks of using them..
Throw them in and see how u do..

 

In other words, that amount if it is possible to break the motor.?¿

There was one kid who tried these for like 3 days and his rockers were getting hurt pretty bad..i mean these cam might actually be good for power..but the quality that they're made of is pure ****..
the specs are around those of a JUNIII cam..but XS is comparable to OBX..and although obx cams have been tested..and broken..if u dont run obx ****..dont run xs ****..

 

Thank. I better sell and I remove a problem, I better buy a whole, zspeed, skunk2 ....

with a b16a2 has pistons of ek9, lds, exedy clutch and flywheel engine?

 

I knew i read this somewhere. thats from a local forum where i live.

my brother has the same cams on his turbo ls vtec and he has no problems with them at all, the cams a pretty much regrinded cams for more power they all use cast iron all camshafts do.
