Best value for DOHC is the type r cams (NA/turbo). For NA set-up in SOHC, juz go for the stage3 crower.

i totally agree. =)cyrix1976 wrote:just cam alone will not bring out too much bhp although you will see certain gain, alot of other factor also come in place. to do up a engine is not like some other mod which you can slowly add on.herong wrote:hi, wish to enquire what are the disadvantages and advantages of having racing cams? how much horses does it boost ?
will prefer you save up and fully understand what you want before you mod. track setup and drag setup is different too. you wouldn't want to have stage 3 or 4 cams for your track setup, too wild. at the same time if you just wanna go for 1/4 mile, then you will not interested in stage 2 cam, too mild for you.
the story will never end................................... ask yourself, what you want
Re: Hi
the power steering pump, etc etc is necessary when doing a swap? i thought things like air condition, drive shaft etc is similar and doesnt require any changes?garilee wrote:I assume yr car is esi since u are using a d16z6 engine:tanpm wrote:Im intending to swap out my D16Z6 for a B16A block for my 4Dr ESI, the B block comes with the necessary mountings, shift links etc etc.
(1) Care to share any experiences? (2) Like, would the car be unbalanced, wad else would i need to change etc? OR is it even worth it to begin with!
(3) Deal looks like 1.5k with swap. + additional 1k for labour at seller's workshop.
1) i dun have experience doing such big non-lta approved mod
2) As follows:
-undercarriage: esi is almost the same as eg9 (b16 engine) except for the front brakes. Upgrade the front brakes (perludes 282mm are best value) coz ur car will be pushing much higher HP
-exhaust: u need a b series extractor
-engine: u only mentioned engine block. What abt the engine head, gearbox intake manifold, distributor, pwer steering pump, air con, drive shaft, crank pulley etc?
-ecu: u also need a dohc ecu
-engine block numbering?
3) Deal looks cheap as long engine is healthy, its for full swap for plug & play into yr esi, & u ok with the big non-lta approval risk.
i am actually thinking of changing to a b series from a d series and other than the engine block + head + things attached to the engine like distributor, fuel injectors etc +intake + exhaust + ECU + gearbox + clutch, i thought the rest would still fit. if i plan to swap a b series inside, what else would i need to change apart from what i've listed, and if there's a significant difference in power/driveability/functionality, etc?
thanks in advance as now it seems like my research may not have ended at that.

2) drive shaft-Different
3) Air con compressor-Different (aircon condenser is ok)
4) Gearbox linkage-Different
5) 2 main Radiator pipes-Different
6) flywheel-Different
7) crank pulley-Different
alternator-can be reuse but B-series run higher volt supply so best to upgrade
9) Starter-Not sure, have to confirm
If getting a stock b16 then dont waste time & $. the power diff is not worth it. at least a b18c or b20 will be more fun

1. your brake servo to DC2 or accord.
2. brake rotor to 282, caliper also, kunckle also
3. ARB for front and rear
End of the day, you wanna convert to B-series, you need to get a halfcut, dump the stupid b16 away and get a B18C.
All in all will cost you another $15k-$20k to achieve around 230bhp car.
Might as well upgrade your car. more easy and not afraid TP or LTA.

but i may just undertake this project and see. from there maybe will get a stroker kit and up to 1.8. may i ask whats the difference in the air con compressor and drive shaft?
