I have a 93 Civic EX and will be receiving my GReddy turbo kit this week. I am new to boosting a car. I previously had an 89 CRX with a b16 swap. I did not want to go through the swap process on this civic. My question is regarding the internals. Would it be wise to invest in an aftermarket cam and retainers? I was looking at the Crower stage2 cam. I have dabbled in bolt on accesories but have never dove into the motor. Like I said, this is my first time building horsepower without a swap but I have to start somewhere. Thanks.

 

yes it would be a good idea but id start with your bottom end before i touched the head.

 

Couldn't agree more!

 

Head and rod bolts coupled with a good cam, springs, retainers, and mild boost is a great setup for the street w/o breaking into the bottom end
