Question on cams

[hondaraholyoke]

Yo what up ppl just wodering if a ls vtec with gsr head and b16 piston could the cam be to much cause they stage 3 and iam wondering if it could be a nice set up with a 75 shoot wet too please help

[kbrown!]

stage three cams on a stock valve train? lol have fun

[iovo]

get the head done valves retainers springs

[kbrown!]

just springs and retainers are fine. thats like $400 plus labor

[LS/Vtec]

Anything can be done. But I highly reccomend not putting a pro stage 3 cam ona stock valve train. Otherwise you just wasted all that money on your buuild. Also i'd do higher comp pistons then stock b16's. Your cams are a over kill for that setup.

like the others have said, stock valvetrain is a NONO, and i dont have ANY experience with nitrous but im not sure spraying on a motor with nearly12:1 compression is a great idea, especially on oem bottom end parts.

that being said b16 pistons on ls rods in an ls block with a gsr head and no machine work gives a compression ratio of about 11.6 to 1 assuming 81mm bore, if he , had the block oversized .5mm, hed be at 11.8 around....and again this is assuming that he has not had the block or head shaved at all. pretty high already if you ask me, and i know for sure that exact setup (with upgraded valvetrain) will support buddyclub spec 4 cams with a nice powerband...if the block or head have been milled that compression ratio goes up more

oh, and if youre goin to run that setup with big cams, please make sure whoever assembles it clays for piston to valve clearance, and determine how far you can adjust your cams safely so you dont damage anything when the car is tuned

oh and interestingly enough, most people dont realize that a US b16a piston actually has a higher dome displacement than a jdm or us ITR piston, next largest is the jdm b16a and then b16b

u gotta be more specific with wat cams ur using
