   Hi guys, what is the easiest way to 16v my VTR? Wanting to cam it but will 16v it first, would i need to switch to a vts engine, or can I keep my block and upgrade the valves?
   
   Thanks,
   Stuttz

   If you are thinking of adding an S engine, just do it rather than messing around (wasting money) on an R!
   S from the box 120bhp, to get an R to that level takes a bit of work!
