Each BXCM-10104 camshaft is manufactured on an OEM-spec chill-cast core, the same core process used by Honda for production camshafts, which provides the hardness and consistency needed for long-term durability under high-RPM use. The HSL grind delivers 255 degrees of intake duration at 0.496 inches of peak lift and 256 degrees of exhaust duration at 0.494 inches of lift, a profile designed to open valves aggressively and quickly for strong mid-to-top-end output in naturally aspirated builds. Upgraded valvetrain components including springs and retainers are required for use with the BXCM-10104.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBLOX Racing BXCM-10104 Tuner Series HSL direct application for B-series DOHC VTEC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured on OEM-spec chill-cast camshaft cores for consistent hardness and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntake duration: 255 degrees at 0.496 inches of peak lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhaust duration: 256 degrees at 0.494 inches of peak lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Speed Lift profile ideal for mild to highly modified naturally aspirated street builds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with B16A2, B16A3, B16B, B18C1, and B18C5 B-series DOHC VTEC engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgraded valve springs and retainers required prior to installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for use with cam gears for further tuning and power optimization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTrim\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1994-2001\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcura\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGS-R\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1997-2001\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcura\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType R\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1999-2000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCivic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1994-1995\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDel Sol\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVTEC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number (MPN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBXCM-10104\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTuner Series HSL (High Speed Lift)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngine Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda \/ Acura B-series DOHC VTEC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngine Codes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB16A2, B16A3, B16B, B18C1, B18C5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntake Duration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e255 degrees\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntake Lift\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.496 inches (12.6mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExhaust Duration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256 degrees\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExhaust Lift\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.494 inches (12.6mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCore Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM-spec chill-cast steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eValvetrain Upgrade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRequired\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePair (Intake and Exhaust camshaft)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTaiwan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x BXCM-10104 intake camshaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x BXCM-10104 exhaust camshaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upgraded valve springs, retainers, and related valvetrain components are NOT included and are required for safe installation.

USDM fitments include the 1994-2001 Acura Integra GS-R (B18C1), 1997-2001 Acura Integra Type R (B18C5), 1999-2000 Honda Civic Si (B16A2), and 1994-1995 Honda Del Sol VTEC (B16A3). Always confirm your engine code before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to upgrade my valve springs to use the BXCM-10104?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. BLOX Racing explicitly states that upgraded valvetrain components are required with the BXCM-10104 HSL camshafts. The higher lift and aggressive profile exceed what stock valve springs are rated to control safely at high RPM. Running these cams on stock springs risks valve float, which can cause engine damage. Source compatible aftermarket valve springs designed for your specific B-series head before installing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the cam specs for the BXCM-10104?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BXCM-10104 intake camshaft offers 255 degrees of duration with 0.496 inches (12.6mm) of peak lift. The exhaust camshaft features 256 degrees of duration with 0.494 inches (12.6mm) of peak lift. These specs were confirmed and dynoed in DSPORT Magazine Issue 203, showing gains of approximately 15 horsepower at the wheels over a stock B17A on a tested build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs the BXCM-10104 a good cam for a turbocharged B-series build?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HSL profile is primarily optimized for naturally aspirated builds where high lift and shorter duration produce strong top-end response. For turbocharged applications, BLOX Racing offers higher duration options like the Type-B or Type-C grind which provide more overlap and work better with positive manifold pressure. The BXCM-10104 can be used in mild turbo builds but it is not the ideal profile for high-boost applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the BXCM-10104 with adjustable cam gears?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. BLOX Racing and other manufacturers produce adjustable cam gears for the B-series DOHC VTEC head. Using adjustable gears with the BXCM-10104 allows you to fine-tune intake and exhaust cam timing on a dyno to extract more power and improve the RPM range where peak output occurs. This is strongly recommended for modified builds to fully realize the potential of these camshafts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the BXCM-10104 HSL and the BLOX Type-B camshaft?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BXCM-10104 HSL features 255 to 256 degrees of duration with 0.494 to 0.496 inches of lift, while the Type-B grind (BXCM-10102) uses 266 degrees of duration with slightly lower exhaust lift at 0.472 inches. The HSL opens valves quickly with shorter duration, making it well suited for smaller B-series displacements and high-revving naturally aspirated builds. The Type-B provides more duration and better suits larger displacement builds or applications needing more low-end torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs a professional tune required after installing the BXCM-10104?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA professional engine tune using a standalone ECU or piggyback management system is highly recommended after installing the BXCM-10104. The changed valve timing events will shift the engine's power band compared to stock. Without a proper tune, the engine may not idle cleanly, may run rich or lean at certain RPM ranges, and will not produce optimal power or reliability. Honda B-series engines respond well to standalone management such as Hondata S300 or similar systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes BLOX Racing offer a warranty on the BXCM-10104 camshafts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBLOX Racing provides a fifteen-month limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use from the date of retail purchase.
