Lol good vid as always. Those cams should really wake up the B16A. We picked up a solid 17whp and 9wtq with a set of those and a ported P73 intake manifold over stock B16a2 cams and Pr3 manifold. After tuning ofcourse. Would also recommend going to a BKR7E if you are currently running the 6. The new cam really liked the colder plug and bigger gap (47-53). The BKR7E @ 48 gap made 4whp over BKR6E @ 43 gap consistently and every little bit helps! The car was a 93 Si hatch so a bit heavy (2480lbs no driver) but it went 14.70s consistently with a B16a2/AEM V2 Intake, RMF Narrow 2.5" header, 2.5" test pipe/Bpipe to Vibrant muffler, RC310s, tuned on Crome. After the cams/P73 Intake and retune he was running 14.30s with a best of 14.26 and trapping over 100 every pass. We didn't dyno before the cams but after it made 176whp/117wtq. Not bad at all for a mostly stock B16.
why does the check engine light come on at high rpm is it a shift light lol btw love your vids I'd love to do an h22 swap in my 98 accord but not sure of how to do it any suggestions
hey man. love watching your videos. I'm a fan of your channel. but I was wondering, is it really necessary to do a valve adjustment after installing those cams on?
Mark, I just tried to torque my JDM B18C Type-R head cams to 20 ft lbs and one of the bolts snapped off in the head. I just ordered all new 8mm and 6mm bolts from Honda and I'm going to try again. I'm running a built B18B1 block with a JDM B18C TYPE-R head with a Turbonetics 60-1. Every time I try to torque the 8mm bolts to 20 ft lbs it feels like they're stretching and about to snap and the cams sound like they're loose.
does anyone know if i need to degree the tuner 2 cams before i can drive the car to the tuner shop? i’m scared about installing them and slapping the valves
Oh Lord, I hate torqueing down camshaft cap bolts. I've had the bolts snap off before and it always scares me. I'm in the middle of replacing my B series valve stem seals right now because every time I hit boost and let off I get a small puff of smoke.
+That Ford Guy You have to be really careful when torqueing down the camshaft cap bolts. For my B18B1 the torque spec is only 7 ft/lbs and unless you have a really high quality torque wrench, it's really hard to tell when you're at 7 ft/lbs (at least it is with my torque wrench).
I took that head to a machine shop and they told me that it was going to cost me a couple of hundred dollars to have what was left of that bolt removed and since my engine is just a LS and not a B16 or B18C, I just bought another head for $50 and installed it.
Hi, I just swapped my Ej9 from a D14 to a B16 (which came complete with harness from an EG), I would like to know if it's possible to main the harnesses from the D14 and add a vtec wire to it? Thanks
Hey guys love your channel. I'm running a high comp b20vtec tuned on neptune 198whp with b16b style pistions and a ported b16 head with gsr cams and valve. My question is , if I put type r cams in would it be worth it ? I have a set laying around but don't want to retune it . Could the cams be a good upgrade without a tune ?
Say I did this same exact process to a b16a2, wouldn't I need to tune the car? I see they used a modified type r map, so I'm guessing I couldn't just drop new cams in leave it at that?
will them.green hoses fit b18c4 im doin a head swap on my b18c4 got bc stage 2 cams and bc springs and vavles but im goin turbo soon got to do arp head bolt and cosmci gasket
i love what you guys do!!! any chance you guys would be interested in having a subscriber like my self bring an ek sedan to work on for the show? i love my Honda and have a nice car crew were i live i just wish i had the knowledge that you guys have!
I got a quick question. Is it safe to install Type R cams on a stock B16 valve train. Everyone's telling me to install just the intake cam because there dual springs on that side but I much rather do both. Thanks in advance.
I sent you a message on IG with some more detail, but is it necessary to run a FPR with these cams? The paperwork says +3-5%, I just don't know if that is a significant enough difference to justify the expense. In seems like the car runs rich from the factory, especially in VTEC. B16A2, stock internals, stock ecu/tune, with bolt ons, if anyone cares to throw in their two cents.
I'm actually in the same boat as you. Usdm b16a2 99si. Aem cai, toda rep header, 2.5 test, 2.5 exhaust, fpr. Just installed skunk2 tuner stage 1 cams, alpha valvetrain, lmas. Old tune: vtec set to 5k (I know it's low), rev limit at 8500. As of now, the car runs great with these cams. Just like mark said, makes the b16 feel more like a b18c. But.......I wont rev past 8k until i get a proper tune. Pretty excited to see. Gonna see what the dyno plot shows to better choose a vtec engagement point. Most likely 5,800 or 6k. We'll see. Will chime in after done.
I gotta question I have a 1994 Honda prelude Si 5speed I wanna know will my engine and transmission go right in a 1997 Honda prelude it was a 5speed but the ppl are selling the shell ??
If it's the same body style you shouldn't have a problem other than the vehicle being obd2. So you may have some sensor or wiring differences. If it's a different body style the worst scenario is different motor mounts or engine brackets and wiring.
with a stage 1 yes. you can tune your car to get more HP out of it but you don't really need to do it with a stage 1 because the car can self adjust to it, you just won't get as much of a gain without tuning; but stage 2 and higher you need to tune it
@@SepticMonkey42 you need a tune to get and real gains the ECU is going to try n make it as close to the base map as it can that's why u want to retune it for a better basemap 🤷♂️
dope! these cams dont require upgraded valvetrain? i have been wondering about these cams except for the h22, want to know how much more aggressive they are compared to the type s cams.
They don't actually have any more lift than stock oddly.... So that's why you don't need to upgrade your valve train. The cams are basically fatter than stock so the valves are open for longer.
+Honda Street Garage ohh! thats good info to know! i need to do a little more research before i commit to anything. would love to just get the skunk 2 pro 2's but way more $ involved.
+SI RICKO the car performs better. Are we getting every bit of performance out of it? No. If we were to take the car and have it dyno tuned. It would definitely be necessary. But it's more about having fun for a couple hundred bucks. But we may go stage 2 with springs and retainers then we'll put cam gears and degree them and dyno tune it.
