hey guys, jus bought a jdm integra with 160hp. can the K20 take ITR K20A cams n valves cam gears???? pardon my ignorance. but else do i need to change in order to lift the performance to ITR level.

 

K20 in an Integra? What year? You're not in USA, right? In USA the 4th-gen Integra is called RSX. Try the RSX forum for better answers...

You sure he's confused?

The JDM K20 comes in 160hp (:

 

If he has a K20A3 Civic Si / RSX i-VTEC motor than he can't use K20A2 (RSX Type-S) or K20A (ITR) cams.

As stated you may have more luck in the RSX forum.

The cams won't work from the ITR or Type-S. What you can do is swap the head from an ITR or Type-S and add an oil-cooler and metal headgasket.
