Hey steve... sorry.. I stand corrected. I've always assumed it was 3 lobes because of the 3 stages. How's the B14 coming along? I just got my 95 SE-R 3 weeks ago.. I LOVE IT!! Not sure what I want to do just yet. I've thought about a VE swap... but I don't think I can live without a turbo. Especially going from 400whp to 125whp. lol..

It's doing well. Just doing little things to the car now. Basically, I built the car for things like HPDE's at VIR and Summit Point. Just got back from VIR last weekend. Car did really well. For the record its 185whp not 125whp. I should be at about 190-195whp within the next year. Taking it slow with mods now. It would be tough to step down from a turbo to a NA car.

LS/VTEC isn't worthless, it's just not my cup of tea, Not without some good internal building.

just put a b16 against a b18 in hatches and let them lose on a track and let the times speak for themselves.
