OEM cams are weak in comparison to aftermarket.

If you want to make all-motor power, then get the biggest set of aftermarket cams you can find. If you want to be mad cool with the JDM type R goodies, then do so.

you shouldn't forced him into forced induction, but if all he scared of is blowing up, no biggie! you can build your b16a motor for forced induction/ forged low comp pistons,rods,head studs,sleevs/or cylinder brace, built the head and much more, I did it to mine, but havent run it yet, simply because I'm in Iraq, but thats only a few things you can do, but N/A cost more than F/I, because I was trying to do N/A and I ended up spending a lot of useles dollars, for low Hp, not worth it, unless you dont plan on going fast....dont be a ricer! aka -----

pheonix,

I dont mean to be an *** or burst your bubble, but modifying anything internal, you might want to kiss emissions good bye already... I dont know about whatever one else thinks but I believe changing your internals will not make you pass the sniffer test. But ---- I dont know too much about smog so someone double check this one for me...

Pheonix, is your goal to get a 13 sec car? What engine is that chasis in? If you are going to tell me its in a crx or a 90 something hb I'm going to fucken slap you with my 24 inch python right up side your head!!!! If its in a crx or 90 hb, a 75 shot will take you well into the 13 second range with stock block and some good tires. If you dont hit 13's with a 75 shot of nitrous on a stock b16 block just sell your car and get a moped. I'm serious. Just some random guy I know from the tracks ran 14.3 sec in a 90 hb with a STOCK b16 hatch with 15" Azenis. With 75 shot nitrous subtract 1 sec that guy would have been low to mid 13's.

Dont think too hard pheonix. It sounds like you still need to do lots of research and read up on what you want and dont want and what you really want to do with that engine. At the end, you'll realize that spending lots of money going the all motor way is dumber than spending half the money for a reliable turbo setup that make people's jaws hit the ground when your BOV goes PPPPSHHHHH!

Just thought I'd let you know, all motor cars blow up just like turbo or nitrous cars. Cars in general blow up just being driven by a grandma. Why do you think there are cars in the junk yards Do you seriously think all of those cars are from people turboing them or using nitrous on them? NO! They are in there because it was their time to go...

Good luck with you do. Post up some pics and time when you get serious with your project. I'd like to see what happens...

I dont mean to force you into turbo, but you can built a nice budget setup, and get fake greddy carb sticker, after all you wont pass the visual inspection even with boltons, but you will with a greddy sticker, just turn boost and fuel down for inspection, I know! I was stationed in Cali, Cali sucks!
