if u already have pro3 installed in ur engine ... try getting it tuned with the hondata and see how much power u can get.... if really cannot work with ur engine, then yeah can think of selling off and getting something a little lower.

if u wanna install std cam... id recommend B16B cams instead

so, izzit okay with b16b cam + b18c piston + e-manage combination? roughly price is cam 800 + piston 600 = rm1.4k right?

B16B cams are midly different than Pre 98-spec B18CR engines, on the intake VTEC lobe. The rest is the same.

No point changing to B16B cams if you have 98spec B18CR ones since it's the same.

combination is basically ok.... but...

cam 800? no man.. B16B cams are going for about 1.4k thereabouts. and piston? dont u already have that in ur engine? wat pistons u running now?

id prefer to avoid emanage...if u have the cash, Hondata S300 would be good though ull need OBD1 ECU.. iinm ur on OBD2...if u already have an OBD1 ECU...itll cost u about 2.5k siap pasang n tune

same goes for crome...requires OBD1... again if u already have OBD1... this is about RM450 inclusive of dynotune... but if ur ECU has not been rechipped before... just add rm100 for the chip socket.

look into OBD1 conversions... ull need the converter harness and the OBD1 ECU (ECU code P30 is generally preferred)

after that, figure out which one suits ur budget best


Is it because b16b cam is more aggressive than b18cr cam?
yes... slightly more aggressive



No point changing to B16B cams if you have 98spec B18CR ones since it's the same.
actually 98spec cams are still the same as previous years... only year 2000 engines have the B16B cams

Ah so it is. Slight confusion there, thanks.

Any idea how much would the conversion cost? (OBD2 to OBD 1?)

madman, so to make it simple, i should get 1 set of b16b head, install s300 and sell the emanage + cam pro3, rite?
if u already have the e manage and pro3 installed... just use them... get it tuned proper.

if the cam is making decent amount of power in ur car keep it...

S300 is better of course... so upgrade to that if u can

my problems are retainer and spring still std type R, compression 12.3 -12 -12 - 14.5 only, need to change high comp pistons, and the pomen recommend s300 for management... so i think just want to downgrade, pro3 to b16b cam.... izzit plug and play? how to fix the compression issue?:hmmmm:

"compression 12.3 -12 -12 - 14.5 only" - wat meaning this? u did a compression leak down test? wats the psi? compression leak down only tells u ur cylinder pressure and whether or not its healthy or if there is any leaks via cracks, bad valve seats, worn out piston rings, etc. ur gonna have to open it up and identify the problem first before fixing.

it wont tell u ur compression ratio.

can change valve springs to supertech... RM550 brand new. thats if u plan on keeping the pro3 la

yes the B16B cams are basically plug n play... but of course will need a retune
