Cam gears for b16?

By JDMLYFE
- Thu Jul 03, 2014 6:03 pm #346952 Anyone know if eBay cam gears are good? I'm doing a head gasket change and changing all seals and gaskets in motor. I was going to do a stock boost but since I have everything apart my boys are telling me to slap some cams in. Iv always wanted the stock b16 on boost. Just something simple and fun for a DD. Any suggestions on what you doing route to go? It is a budget build but i am getting good brand name parts! I'm doing a gates timing belt and water pump etc and was wondering about the blue eBay cam gears

I had actually just used the search bar to start looking up about using GSR/B18 cams on a B16 head to double check what is needed.

This would be a better route for you as from what I know and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but you can use GSR cams, cam gears and vavle train on a B16 head with no modification and no tuning needed to the ECU (Adding a turbo you will need to get a remap)

My thoughts are Honda parts honda quality, eBay parts....... Use a bin lol
