- Mon Jul 12, 2010 6:37 am #204227 Hello guys i have a b16a2 with basic boltons and i can buy a set of gsr cams really cheap plus i have some adjustable cam gear
I was wondering are they worthy will they make any difference at all

- Mon Jul 12, 2010 10:43 pm #204328 no one has gsr cams in theyr b16s ?!

- Tue Jul 13, 2010 3:26 pm #204405 That would be a downgrade.

The GSR head has smaller ports and is designed for a 2 stage intake manifold and a different VTEC engagement point. The B16 is all about peak power. That is why the Type R uses a B16 head casting.

- Tue Jul 13, 2010 11:43 pm #204479 downgrade ? i'm not sure about that

- Wed Jul 14, 2010 3:52 pm #204574 I did some checking around and apparently if you can get them cheap, then its worth doing. But not worth spending any money on because the difference is very small.

You should do it and post before / after dyno graphs.

- Wed Jul 14, 2010 5:10 pm #204595 I say try it see what happens. Its worth a shot if you can get them for cheap.

- Fri Jul 16, 2010 2:43 am #204840 yes do it kuz i was thinnking the same thing. and the cams i would be getting are ligit and only 20 bux lol

- Sat Jul 17, 2010 10:56 am #205035 last night there were som testing haha
the change is not drastic but definitely noticeable i am happy with the result ,still driving them on 0 when i have cash for dyno we will play with the cam gears
chears

- Sun Jul 18, 2010 12:31 pm #205184 i would say its a big down grade but if you have the money go for it
lol but i cant sat much i have a poormans type r with type r cams lol

- Tue Jul 20, 2010 7:11 am #205430 what makes you think that it is down grade ? its simply imposible to be down grade becouse the gsr cams are more aggressive

- Tue Jul 20, 2010 9:59 pm #205525 i am surrently installing such cams in my b16a.

and seeing as its in a crx hf the difference will be slightly more noticeable.. \

well i hope

- Wed Jul 21, 2010 1:09 am #205544 If you plan to turbo, GSR cams are your new best friend as far as stock cams go. Three of my friends have made +800hp on stock GSR cams.

D16z6. Golden Eagle. AFI Turbo. Precision Turbo. Hondata. CG racing.
618hp, 407tq SOHC 10.68@137
My 92 hatch SOHC build. Quest for +600hp. Check it!

- Wed Jul 21, 2010 1:41 am #205554 well their in and it was deffinatly worth 20 bux haha

and i was thinking boost but if you think about it

crx hf + b16 + boost = almost cheating lol

so i think a b18b block and my pr3 pistons with acl bearings may be in order.

- Sat Sep 04, 2010 5:00 pm #212166 yea man im glad you did the gsr cam swap. because i have had gsr cams in my b16a and there is a difference for sure nit much but enough. also yea they cannot be a down grade because of what you said, they are a bigger cam for the bigger mmotor, not nesarily more aggresive but they become more aggressive because they are going in a smaller motor. and yea dollar to hp gain ratio they are a waste but if you dont have 500 for aftermarket cams and do have 100 for gsr i would get them anyday
