Yes expensive but that shit is needed! I am getting all T clamps and gonna do a tack weld on all pipes with a strap from the pipe to IC and also from TB to ic pipe and turbo to ic pipe, It ain't happening again damnit!

 

awesome increase from the camshaft upgrade... but dont you think a custom grind that is ground for your setup would make even more power? i never understood the whole swapping parts thing with hondas. when youre pushing that much air through a motor i would think the camshaft choice would come before turbo selection. does comp/crane not do custom grinds for you guys or something?

 

Usually when you go with boost stock heads are good, just want to open up the exhaust side, but cams can be bad if they overlap too much. so the higher lift cams like the Type R are good. there was like a 1/4 inch difference when we mic'd em. Still waiting for my R intake cam. Bitch said he sent it off like 7 days ago. I will see. late

 

what are the lift/duration/lsa specs on Type Rs? i mean obviously theyre functional if Boostfed picked up 20 or 30hp but why stop there?

 

Well Jim you're right but keep in mind we mic'ed the ITR cams VS some 1st Gen Automatic B16A cams I had laying around in the garage. But the cams I was running were 2000 Si cams and still was a difference. About aftermarket cams, us Honda guys REALLY haven't had that great of success with aftermarket VTEC cams, they are not all they are cracked up to be, I know of some top pro racers that have swapped from custom ground/billet cams to some stock GSR cams actually. Kenny Tran running 8.59@170mph runs ITR or GSR cams. However Brian from Millenium Autosports with the yellow hatchback is running some rCrower Stage 2 turbo grind cams and he did say they were a big difference.

 

Stock Si cams are 10.5mm lift intake and 230 degrees duration ITR intake is 11.5mm lift and 240 degrees duration. Si exhaust lift is 9.4mm and 227 degrees duration and ITR exhaust 10.5mm lift and 235 degrees duration. Si intake opening 10 deg BTDC and clsoing 40 deg ABDC and ITR intake opening 15 BTDC and closing 45 ABDC . SI exhaust opening 40 degrees BBDC and closing 7 degrees ATDC, ITR exhaust opening 45 degrees BBDC and closing 10 degrees ATDC

 

That's a scary civic.

 

is that when vtec is engaged?? thats some duration for a stock cam! but i guess thats not that much lift... just doin it in my head thats what around .480" lift?

awesome numbers. is the rest of the car built to handle all of it?

 

ITR 11.5mm=.4527" lift compared Si 10.5=.41339 lift

Yes this is the VTEC cam
