Sounds like a good engine build. It should make a good deal of N/A Power Especially with some good tuning. If you want even more when done, Having a separate fuel cell of e85 or Race gas and a Wet Nitrous kit would be an awesome route to go. :thumb:

Yes, you can put the B20 cams in the B18. The head castings are the same.

I agree, Bisi is awesome. My only issue is that I can't seem to find the lift/duration/overlap information on the Level 1 cams.

And if you want a few other options:

any difference in putting them in a B18B1?

- Tue Apr 27, 2010 1:44 am #190282 There shouldn't be any differences. I'm pretty sure the internals and all that are the same for the a1 and b1.

- Tue Apr 27, 2010 1:45 am #190283 Not much at all. There's only a few tenths of a millimeter difference in lift between the B18B1 and the B20B4 cams. But the difference is a little more from the B18A1 to the B20B4.

You would only benefit from this if you get the cams for free.
