Who said using stock cams can't gain anymore power? HAHAhaha...That is, IF you know what you are doing...Although Big cams with oversize forged piston is some people's dream, but i can say that B16a has the potential to tail gate an ITR with no internal changes.
Stock Engine can goes around 9000rpm...and NO INTERNAL CHANGES but, must change a lil things to match up with an ITR...may be cost you like 3k ish Aud incl parts and workmanship if i'm not mistaken...
not 9000 cos the pistons rings will wear out so quickly.. even with aftermarket pistons... must have aftermarket Valve springs to get to 9000 with stock cams n shit but no point of doing that if the cams dont make power at 9000..
im starting to see the value of changing my VTi motor to B16a lol i thort it would be better going for a b18c2...as it has bigger displacement and a little bit more power...i thort a b16a wouldnt be all that much of an improvement over a d16y1...
I strongly advise against taking an internally stock B16A to 9k...... you guys have been warned.Quote:

Note much but depends if you wanna make power or not.
change your valve springs and after market computer will allow you to do it but will not mean that you will make power.
Generally you need new cams (depending on which ones you get) will allow you to rev up higher. Higher compression, valve train, valve springs, new ECU. Then you need it tuned so it won't blowup. Then you might need a new clutch to handle the power, new exhaust system. Then you prob got too much power and need suspension, sway bars, braces. Then you'll find your brakes and tyres can't take it and you will need more expensive tyres and upgraded pads and/or rotors and maybe a new caliper set.
Depends on how much you wanna spend. But about 2-3k you will be able to rev higher but i wouldn't guarantee any major performance increase.
Also the higher you rev the shorter the engine's life is.
High revs kill engines. That's why race cars get rebuilt every race or so.
If u need a b16a2 engine.. im selling mine atm.. for $350.... just the block n head n manilfold and 4-2-1 huccriane extractors. let me know if interested.Quote:

to make b16a2 rev to 8500.. stock block... type R valve springs for $250. civic type R cams for $850... mmm should get vtec controller or piggy back to change the rev limiter.. install em and and ur enigne will rev to 8500 with no problems :)
have never been beaten by a (VTiR) B18C since my B16A swap.. only the Type R B18C chops my B16.. B18C (VTiR) if you want to boost, otherwise B16 IMO.Quote:

I don't think there is a necessary to change any internal if you want to rev to 9000rpm still. Just make sure the oil press is right.
But does anyone agree on around 3-4k Aud of bits into a B16a without any internal Changes can beat an ITR ???...i'm just curious to know thats all... :)
Well i know upgrading the cams into a Civic type R cams and type R valve springs and vtec controller will make more power than the civic type R engine
