Moe Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 buy them from a reputable seller who can show the history of the car they were taken out off. Bear in mind that itr cams wont drop straight in, you will need the itr valve train as a minimum for these cams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Unit Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 the cams do fit striaght in........but you are advised to run at least the ITR valve springs and retainers i have fitted these on my B16 before without the ITR springs ect and had no issues but i was only reving to a 8000rpm limit to get the most from them fit the ITR valve train as stated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeraz552 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Sorry to hijack, would they need mapping or just uprate the springs etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Unit Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 No they will work fine without a map however as like anything you always get better results from a remap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niterider692002 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 pardon my stupididty, but wat you mean when you say valve train??? i will be aquiring some springs and retainers for my b18c4 engine just to make sure the cams are happy but iv also herd you can run them with the stock springs and retainers in the b18c4. is this true. two questions then basically to add to the thread.1. what is a valve train 2. can you run itr cams in a b18c4 without changing the springs and retainerscheers for all your help once again guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 valve train is the springs, retainers etc. it is possible to use it with the stock valvetrain in the b18c4 but the itr cams are higher lift and the springs will take a beating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slosei Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 i got told you will only really need to change them if you were going to rev more and with the standard rev limit it was fine, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Its entirely upto you which route you take, if you want to use the standard valvetrain or not. when i upgrade my cams to itr ones ill be changing the entire valvetrain including valves etc, this will mean in the future when i upgrade the cams again the valvetrain will be able to handle it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceMan Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 look for scoring/scratching and any swarf on the cams anywhere. I bet the seller would have the sense to clean that off though. Any signs of that and walk away imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
