I know what the b20 holds but what about engineers cert.
Toda c is good and crower 403 just at close to lift and duration.
My d16 made 161 hp atw which is 99 kws atws.
Car screamed and went hard but this car is heavier and more of a daily.
lol 161hp is like 120kw
you willing to pay 2grand for like 5kw gain but wont pay like 500 bucks (b20 bottom end)+800 dollars to get your car engineered +30kw gain not to mention a shit ton of
torque
I don't get the bigger cam thing. Doesn't bigger cams = more air flow which = more air in the cylinder which = more fuel too which = bigger bang which = more torque?
3 guys walk into a bar. The first guy told the D to get a B series.The second guy told the B to get a K series. The last guy told the K to fk off just get a V8 mate.
I like the b16a
Plus motor has 100.000 on it and I
Like to keep it stock looking un molested so one day I can sell it.
Finest example of a clean ek4 going around.
Once it's got a b20 in it no one will buy it.
I wouldn't
Personally if I was looking at buying a car, I would much rather a mildly tuned B20 over a highly tuned B16...engine hasn't been as highly strung and would most likely be in better condition. And looks wise you wouldn't notice the difference if you were just looing in the bay if you want to keep it stock looking.
Anyways, in my opinion I think your going about this build all wrong. To re-do the head again is a waste I think, and I wouldn't be spending the $2k+ for 5kw. There are much better places to put the $$ into and get more gains like in the suspension especially seeing as though in another thread you said you were running reset springs. Set of coilovers would do wonders and if not done already some improvements to your brake system, and as mentioned before I think you will feel the gains more from a new final drive and lightened flywheel than another 5kw.
But as long as you will be happy with the results in the end, then good luck to you!!

Most performance Camshafts don't really add power overall, they just adjust the power curve.
So you rob a little power from low RPM and give a lot to high RPM!
Ofcourse you can get Camshafts suited for low end torque.. Quite popular in 4x4ing.
It's not 4x4 status, think of it as "Winter Mode".
