TODA Cams VS CTR Cams VS SIR-2 Cams

[Qwooootz]

Hi guys, sorri to intrude a new question about cams in this thread..

Would it be a wise choice to change my cams, valve springs and retainers from a B16a2 USDM to a b16B or a B18c5 /7 /8's cams, valves and retainers? rather than go buy aftermarket ones like Spoon etc..

Cams - good.
For best effect using OEM cams, use B16B intake camshaft & B18C7 exhaust camshaft
Valve springs - good
Use type R intake double valve springs & move your existing intake double valve springs to the exhaust side.
Intake valves - good
Exhaust valves - identical to what you've already got.
Buying Type R items is a waste of money if there is nothing wrong with what you've got.
Lost motion assemblies - good
Type R items are better. (more robust.)
Retainers - OEM = Ok to 8500rpm. Use Titanium for sustained 9,000rpm+
Nb: B16B~B18C Cams run out of puff past 8500 anyway.
Spoon valve train parts are re-manufactured OEM parts
- do it yourself & save your money.
Port the B16A head you have to out flow a Type R equivelant.
(Do not let just anyone do this job - this can make or break your engine)

I used Toda A cam before. I am using Toda B cam now. I am happy with Toda B cam. Toda B cam give me more power all the way with B18C7.

oi is this true, each toda cam costs 1000+ ?? so for my 4 cylinder car, i would need four of these?
plus springs which could cost? 150+? is that each or for a set?....

You need 2 cams only $xxxx for 2
16 inner springs and 16 outer springs? $xxx for whole set
1 set of cam gear $xxx a set

[kousoku]

alright, so the price of $1000 for a toda cam, i would need 2. = ~2000.
then for springs i would need 1 set = ~250

which means in total to boost my performance by HOW MUCH??!?!?

would = ~$2250.
ps. can someone please answer the boosting of performance question?...as u can see i'm kinda a noob.

[Limbo]

It would depend on all your other setup, engine, CAI, exhaust..., ECU or aftermarket. (you might want a port and polish while your there). And I believe, correct me if i'm wrong, you would have to have the current ECU remapped or go aftermarket to get the full advantages.I don't believe anyone could give you an estimation until after it is done and you get the thing dynoed.

[kousoku]

how about a crude estimate though?

and is the pricing about right?

lol instillation costs too i guess...
damn modding car soo expensive.

Hi ya I think the best way to gain 20kw or 28hp out of a b16a would be to mill the head 60thou (give's you 10hp and increase comp by .2) add cam gears and have them tuned (10hp easily) and last but not least throw in a set of type-r cam's (10hp)
so there's you're 30hp and i have seen this combo work very well on one of my customers car and it only cost all up 1990 inc of labour and parts and of course dyno time,
oh and by the way i sell itr cams for 550 exchange


oops, this has been put in the wrong spot, first time ok
