It was Catcams I ended up finding after browsing the US forums, they seem quite reasonably priced and the cams sound fairly aggressive :) as for pistons I'll have a look on the laptop later, but basically JDM parts were the recommended route in order to up the compression ratio. I have a feeling it was ITR pistons that were recommended but I'll need to confirm that!

yeah im sure you can use b18 pistons with something like f22 rods but im struggling to remember so dont take my word for that. its been a fair few years since i was messing with a B20A and even then it was a 2g one.

Does anyone know if there were induction kits made for the B20 engines? If there were I can't find them anywhere :( I've considered making my own, but the stock breather pipes have like a million other smaller pipes coming off of them, and I wouldn't know how to make fittings for them on a home made kit :?

i know you could get the cheap ebay induction kits for them as I've got one sat in the shed minus the filter.

Does it include fittings for all the breather pipes and vacuum lines to connect to? There are loads on the B20 :?

Would you be able to take a picture of it please? :D it'd be really helpful! No worries if it's too much hassle though :)
