I'm thinking about getting cams reground.
 

Well, as most know I have a stock B18A1 and plan to keep it a B18A1, I dont want to spend a fortune on cams but I would like to rev up to 8K and make some power, basically its come down to this, you dont need big PSI or CFM to take the lead, I plan to boost this engine using my Garret T3, its a good size turbo for a 1.8 liter engine, I plan to take boost (8 psi) up to 8K not further since I risk spinning a bearing at thoes RPM's and anything over 8K would require aftermarket internals in the head.

What are some options here? I know I wont have to replace the springs and ---- since its only 500 RPM or so more than stock fuel cut off.

Let me know, The way I see it is 8 psi, up to 8k shift point on a 1.8 liter Turbo Motor with no CAT and in a light CX 4 door, this car should run some nice times at the track. hoping for low 13's, high 12's @ 11 meters below Sea level, since I know a guy that has a B16A2 in a stripped Si EG hatch that runs 13.8 at the track we go to, and thats on street tires too.

Another guy with 8 psi and a D16Z6 ran mid 13's, same type of hatch, so I dont see why I wouldnt be able to get high 12's on slicks.

you should run high 12's without even opening the motor...........

B18B1 with Greedy D series made to fit, 22x8x15 slicks that didn't hook, 12.91 @ 108 mph.......

DElta is really the only company that is less than a 100 per cam. If you go w/ a mild grind stock springs are fine

delta is the ----

Re: I'm thinking about getting cams reground.
 

Is there shops what can grind stock cams? or do I have to go with aftermarket?

Re: I'm thinking about getting cams reground.
 

Yeah there's delta, and I think Web does it too. Pretty cheap compared to aftermarkter cams like Crower and Skunk2. Where you'd put down your lifesavings to get a set of nice cams.

delta grinds stockers for 85 a piece

Re: I'm thinking about getting cams reground.
 

Oh ok ok, I thought Delta was a Brand of cam. that is cool then, 85 dosnt seem so much, wish some places in canada did it as well. its too bad you cant do something like that yourseld without equipment.

Re: I'm thinking about getting cams reground.
 

No way the equipment used is freakin crazy and expensive. Any other cam grinder is 200+ per cam

Re: I'm thinking about getting cams reground.
 

your not gonna make power to 8k without a cam larger than you can get out of a regrind. id look to crower turbo cams they have 270/235 degrees duration intake/exhaust and .469" lift. you will need new springs though for anything higher than stock redline, stock LS springs suck. also if its a b18a going to a b18b or b20 head/intake setup would be worth your time and effort. intake ports are bigger (about 2mm wider) and the inatke manifold and TB are bigger too.
