thanx for the link, let me take a look

 

ooooooh shit Honda Motor Co. is finally putting their hands on Speed World Challenge, looks like Mazda will get new competition from Honda factory support

 

The real challenge will be offing Pete Cunningham and Piere Klienubing. Their ITRs have been the class of the field and late last year they had a third car- an RSX. With the experience and additional development on the RSX, Real Time should be full stride by the third race, King Motorsports will be behind the curve.

 

still they dont use integras type r for racing they use ls's with high lobe cams... hmmm makes u wonder why they dont have vtec... CAUSE ITS FOR ECONIMIC PURPOSE GIVE ME A CAR ILL PUT HIGH LOB CAMS ON IT I DONT REALLY CAR ABOUT GAS USAGE once u drive v8 evne 20mpg honda engine is till good.

 

do what? they do use type r motors for racing. i remember one of the crew members talking about how it's so great they start off w/ an already powerful engine of the type r

 

Links to info on this? Some kind of reference.

 

sure looks like an R motor to me.

 

looks like a type r to me as well. The announcers even call 'em ITRs.

 

If you run the big cams all the time then you will have no bottom end torque, You will get a slight benifit up top by putting on the vtec eliminator kit (due to less weight in the valvetrain) but for a street car that is pointless. Honda's already have low torque. If you think about it with proper tuning you can get a HP peak for each cam and tune them to compliment eachother. That is why my car at only 2.0 liters has the same amount of torque as a 2.2 liter prelude engine and almost the same as a 2.5 liter Spec V engine (mine is at a higher rpm).
