B18cr High comp build? Info and Help please :-)


Absolutely not. No aftermarket cams should use stock pulleys. But I dialled them in to the spec of the cam...no special.measures to create p2v.
 
Well atleast that's cleared up.
Toda c cam at toda specs on stroked b16b is fine for clearance.
 
- And these are amongst the longest duration and highest lift cams available.

I found 2 well documented engines in the states of the same spec.
 
Am have a fully rebuilt b18cr with all genuine Honda parts and ek9 pistons.

Where should i go from here? B18cr or b16b head with aftermarket cams or will aftermarket cams touch?

Heard that they can?

Also i currently have a b16a head that has been skimmed ported an polished with reground valves and dual valve spring retainers but dono would that work seen as its skimmed?

Any info would be great please no negative comments haha

Teach me :)) :busy: :dance:

Thanks :woot:

- Keep your redline at no more than 8500rpm.

- Since your head is skimmed, the timings will be off(retard around 2 approx.) Be sure to dial your aftermarket camshafts in to recommended specs and you will be safe.

- You can drop in the type R or any stage 1 cams to run off the B18cr tune to run the engine in properly before thinking about doing camshafts. I would recommend this to ensure longetivity.
 
B18 prefer more lift and less duration cams to make more power. Long stroke/short rods dont like more duration and makes peak power lower in rpms(7800).

Thanks for the input lads all helpful replies gettin a fair idea of it now :)

I was gonna go wit type r cams rather than aftermarket ones just incase of clearance issues?

Plus ctr cams are fairly good too in my opinion sure they would have as much bang as a aftermarket cam but should still be quick engine an make useable power hopefully :D
 
Another question hahaha. Would a thicker headgasket be safer? i think it would but would that lower my compression? Or would i be better with that

This is very helpful btw thank you :D

You would gain a little more clearance but your compression ratio will be lower also as you say.
