50kw is dreaming

maybe 25kw

[EKVTIR-T]

Yes youre dreaming,have a look through this long thread for an indication of what you might get with certain cams

If you want that sort of power jump,maybe go turbo

And with that 25kw or so gain, the most notable difference will be power delivery/ mid range torque.
Dont get so wrapped up about peak kw. Torque is where its at.

So what cams guys?!?

What is your application?

There's a lot of options, I'll help you once I know what your trying to achieve.

[Hellomotog]

More power lol. Street and track use

160hp if its B16A2

save 5k from what you have now.. sell your engine plant.... get a k24a and basic bolt on mods.. ihe and kpro.. your looking at 150-160ktw... slap a s/c or turbo.. and you looking around 200-250atw

[Hellomotog]

Don't want another engine swap on this car. Rather buy a new car u knoww.

How are the toda spec c?

[DakDak]

160hp if its B16A2

Soz its a B20 with a B16 head.

Guess it doesnt apply to op question.

[Hellomotog]

160kw or Hp?

[stndrd]

For the money you will spend VS the kw you want to make, a head build is not worth it. Just stick a Full Race GT3076R turbo kit on it with S300 & fuel system. Instant 220kw+ with only 6-8psi

P plater.....

I think an important piece of information here is that you can't just whack a set of cams on and tune hoping for 25kw+ gains.

if we're talking peak power, 15kw on a stock engine is more of a reasonable high goal.

but that's beside my point here. certain cams (generally the ones with higher lift) require supporting modifications (I/H/E) and higher compression to get the kind of performance the cams were designed to give. sure, you could throw a set of buddyclub spec V's or brian crower stage 3's in a stock B18c7 and tune it and it WILL work, but 9 times out of ten the power gains will be small and the usable power will be up high.

there was a thread on here where a guy had a fully built head on his B16a2 with Brian Crower stage 3's and was asking why it was only making around 90-100kw despite the big cams.

this is why "drop in cams" are available. such as Skunk2 tuner 1's, buddyclub spec III+. they can be used on the stock engine with a tune to bring up the performance of your relatively stock engine without losing low/mid range power and getting a lousy powerband.

dyno figures are one thing, but usable power in whatever environment you generally drive in is another. I suggest you take EKVTIR-T's advice and read through that thread he linked you to, it will give you an idea of what power you can expect from different setups. asking people "what cams guys" will get you everyone's different individual opinion on a worthy set of cams and if you just take their advice without doing research you may end up down the wrong path..
