K Series Cam Degree
I was wondering what you guys do to keep VTC and still degree your cams. I got a few ideas but most of them involve taking the VTC gear apart. Is there a way to figure out the VTC degrees and make marks?
Also, how do you guys limit your VTC? Do you do it electronically, or maybe a machined stop? Perhaps machine a TSX 25* VTC gear bigger?
The cams I'm going to run are Drag Cartel 4.5's. I was told that they tend to make the most power around 30-35* VTC.
Thanks for the help guys!!

Re: K Series Cam Degree
There are some threads about this on k20a.org (check the stickies).
I think the normal thing to do is just to find out how much cam advance you can run (without clearance issues), and then figure out on the dyno what the VTC should be set at. After all it can be changed with just the push of a few buttons on the computer.
This is sort of the whole point of having vtc. You can have different VTC angles for different loads and RPMs.
The exhaust cam you can degree just like you would on a b-series.

Would you trust the computer to do that for you?
What if it decides to go to a higher than desired VTC setting? Wouldn't that grenade your motor?
Doesn't kpro do a diagnostic check at first start-up? Something about going to 50* VTC and then back to 0* to make sure it's working ok?
I will go to the other website and check the stickies.
Thanks.

blueprint racing have a little stopper that you can install in your vtc gear.

Your right the ecu will do a vtc cleaning check sometime...But from my dataloog it only do that when out of vtec and with little to no throttle.
