Fast road cams?

Does anyone know how much fast road cams cost for the B16A2?

Cheers

£525 at impossible performace - if you go to the US, Skunk2 camshafts start around $700/$750 - about £400. I've just ordered a crank pulley from a company in the US and shipping was $35 on top - so it might still be cheaper to get from the States !

Cheers. Those jap motors certainly aint cheap to make faster.

i believe geoff at watsons can get them reprofiled for 180 quid a pair, but you will also require springs and they recommend titanium caps, the cast ones break apparently

If you are going to use the ITR cams in a B16 head, really you should change the valve springs and the Lost Motion Assembly. Most people dont do the LMA's (due to the cost, £30 each and there are 8 :shock: ) but the springs should definately get a look. You are going to be reving the engine really high and you dont want to drop a valve doing it :?

And what is the most you can tune a B16A engine up to?

Ive never tried, mainly since it aint going to make power over the red line on the current cams.
The head of the B16 is basically the same as the ITR's B18c5, except that the ITR is hand finished and port/polished.
The enigne in my current crx has been abused way over the stock red line and is showing the damge by using more oil than it should and the LMA's really need replacing. Its done 90K miles :? I put a 130K miler head on my B20 conversion and that was mint.

Tuning wise, I know of a lad who had just over 200bhp from his B16 with ITR cams and oversize pistons. He swapped the bottom end for a B18 and it got over 230 from it.
