Im looking at upgrading the cams to type R cams I have a b16a2. Any suggestions of who does these sorts of modification in SYD other then Good Performance. I have been quoted almost $1300 to change cams, valve springs, valve seals, cam seals, rocker cover gasket and labour. Is it worth getting a port and polish done on the head and will have to change the intake mani?
All opinions wlecom.
Check this thread out.

As for installation Toda Au should be able to help you out.
$1300 for all that is cheap... :thumbsup:Quote:

Re port & polish,
At that level of mod, the best you can expect is an extra 5kw accross most of the rev range for around an extra $1k
Re whether it's worth it...
Mate, it's really up to you if it's worth it.
Some guys chase every hp regardless of cost,
Other work to a strict budget.
Will Intake manifold have to get changed. Because that is what i was told. He said that I would have to change it to a type R mani .
Is this correct?
to get the best out of it, then yes, you should
iv got headers on there now would i need to change them aswell or will it be fine? xforce 4-2-1.
If you fit all the parts as described incl intake manifold & keeping your headers,
To get the most out of it you'd need a VAFC II fitted & tuned as a minimum,
Ideally a full ECU tuning solution would be better.
my ecu has been chipped though. I have thought about piggy backing it with a apexi neo. would that do the jobQuote:

Why go for VAFC or apexi Neo? its an cheap upgrade from a stock ECU, but since you have the Crome, just need to get it retune.
If your gettin valve train done, might as well go for a bigger cam

Yeap sure is cheap. I would imagine all parts listed are used items. At the very least get new valve springs.
IMO i would get a set of new valve springs and some slightly bigger cams (BC spec 3's, toda A's, Skunk2 pro1's). You can reuse the stock b16a retainers as they will handle 9000rpm no probs.
Intake manifold not really necessary, but it'll help it breathe better.
IMO , if you havent already - put that $1300 into a hd clutch and light flywheel. Also rear swaybar. Much better response to your $$$ input than any cams.
