I am redoing the internals on my B16 and have come across a dillema. Do I go with the Skunk 2 Stage 2 cams or JDM Type R's? I can get both readily, and brand new in the box. whichever way I go. Has any body else gone with either of these cams? I could use some sound advice as to what the general opinion is. I will be doing valves springs, and retainers at the same time along with a block girdle, and port and polish. Also should I go with the oversized valves or stay stock sized?

 

what are your plans for the car?

 

Well as much as I want to say turbo, I think I'm heading down the N/A path in course. I use the car everyday so reliability is mandatory. I have done the all the fuel upgrades being fuelpump, regulator and fuel rail. Next will be injectors.

 

i would say oversized since you are there like .5 to 1 bigger

 

dont get type Rs if you wanna boost. too much overlap. get some good Skunk2 turbo cams. or if you wanna go through the trouble, you can get a GSR intake and ITR exhaust for a sweet OEM setup.

 

I would go Skunk 2, especially if you plan to turbo later, after all the Type R is only stock and even though its rated as the best by honda oe standards

 

the right combo of type r cams will hold with skunk2 easy. skunk2 turbo cams arent the best thing out there and OEM parts can hold.
