just wanted to know how much of a diff will it make to put gsr cams in a 1st gen b16. thanks for any info

 

Minimal, CTR or ITRs would be a better choice.

 

Absolutely if you are turbo if not go with some CTR's

 

do i need to upgrade the valvetrain with ctr's or itr's trying to build a budget car for weekend fun. money kinda tight just bought a new home

 

1st gen cams are crap, upgrading to gsr cams is worth it and very cheap.

 

thanx for the info keep it coming

 

would i need to get cam gears for ctr/itr cams or can i use the stock b16 ones

you can use your stock ones

edit: ment to say that it is a worthy upgrade if your b16 has auto cams in it.
the profiling on the auto cams is so shitty cause it was ment to be for an auto tranny; power peaks a lot earlier in the powerband( and less power).

1st gen manual cams are NOT the same nor better than gsr ones; they are weaker. Intake cam is superior and on the exhaust mid lobe lift is the same, but the pri/sec. combo are bigger on the gsr.

Here is the low down. If your 1st gen b16 was an automatic, then the cams are very mild due to the automatic gearing, if it was a manual, then the profile will be better than the gsr's. Most of the 1st gen b16's that i have seen were auto's. Either way, don't look for any gains from the butt dyno. If you are looking for measurable performance increase, go with ctr/itr.
