i just dropped CTR cams in my GSR. they're awesome! power difference is noticable and vtec sounds a whole lot better!

anyone else have this setup on their gsr? what kinda differences did you notice?

did u get the car tuned, and what other mods do u have with the cams.....did u put CTR springs and retainers with the cams......im thinkin bout CTR cams

 

How much did you get them for?? i am in the market for these too

 

car was tuned by a local performance shop with my existing apexi vafc. other mods with the cams include i/h/e, pulley's, cam gears, fuel pressure reg, skunk2 intake manifold, and new itr valvetrain. these are just the engine mods. i give the ctr cams thumbs up!

got em for 400 with the itr valvetrain. the guy who sold it to me only wanted 300 for em(new)and 150 for the valvetrain. 400 for set. so i'm happy with what i got!

 

So what numbers did you pull?

 

i forget somewhere close to 190 sum. when i get back from work i'll post the dyno sheets. anyone know if i'm supposed to break these in before i race em? or can i hit the track now?

 

How was the torque curve?

 

Whoa... you pulled ~ 190wHP with just I/H/E, CTR Cams, Cam Gears, Pulleys, FPR, and Skunk2 IM?

hmmmm

 

i wish i had a set of ctr cams

 

hmm... 190

if its true theny ou have a freak motor
if it's bs

check out mods in my signature--identical and I pulled 172 and 122 tuned

not quite 190 but close. i'll show yah the slips but this is my full setup.

comptech icebox (type-r), comptech header, skunk2 exhaust, skunk2 intake manifold, aem pulleys, ctr crank pulley, ctr cams, itr valvetrain, aem cam gears, aem fuel pressure regulator. other mods act street clutch-fidanza 6.5lb flywheel.
also AC removed.

 

freak motors are nice regardless you should be putting down some decent numbers with your setup

 

comptech header? which one? the 4-2-1 w/ 2.25 collector or the comptech race header with the 2.5" collector? which cat are you using?

 

i'm running on the 4-2-1, and it's not the full race setup. that shiz is expensive.
using airmass catback which doesn't really do anything.
forgot to add ngk spark plugs with nology wires and apeci vafc.

 

Where did you get all the stuff installed and tuned? Did you get you S2 IM installed there too? I am looking for a place to install and tune for me. I have heard of good things from DSR.

 

i had mine installed by the same guy who tuned it. speed concepts performance. his shop used to be in LA. but he had alotta break ins so he shut it down. his shop is at his house right now. but his new shop will be located in OC. his old shop is called yung ching wing or something like that. it's a dim sum place.

lol. The one stop shop for performance parts and chinese food.

 

get it dynoed and post the resualts i want ot put ctr cams in my car but i am wondering if its worth the money

 

Good to hear, definately a better plan to get tuning at the same time as installation. I just dropped mine in and didn't notice much except a lot of noise.
Dyno plots?

 

Hmm, where did you get the car dyno'ed?

will ctr rev that high or should i get high lift cams</TD></TR></TABLE>

uhh crx with what engine? that bottom end better be built..other wise revving a stock bottom end to 11k isnt gonna last long.

 

nice.. im thinking about the same setup...

 

If you had some headwork then I could understand the 190whp or so.

I had:
DPR Stage 6 headwork
ITR cams (upgraded valvetrain)
Skunk2 IM
Toda Header
2.5" Cat
70mm Kakimoto Exhaust
ITR tranny (4.785 FD, Kaaz LSD)
7lb Fidanza Flywheel, Exedy Street Clutch
Unorthodox Racing Pulley
VAFC
removed A/C, P/S, Cruise, Rear wiper assempbly (2,440lb w/o me)

I put down 189.34 whp untuned. Only thing that was tuned was the VTEC changeover. The fuel was untouched as was the ECU.

stock cam gears, stock obd1 ecu, stock bottom end (the headwork raised the compression a bit)

Now that to most was very good power. Considered a freak setup. Especially since I was only running ITR cams. BUT I had some GREAT headwork (2 G's, done by Dan Paramore himself at DPR). My Header back setup responded to it very well. With some cam gears, Toda Spec B cams, tuning I could have reached 200whp.

Lets see your graph. I can post mine up aswell, if anyone is interested. I also had my stock redline, power was still raising at redline(ITR cams would have made power up to around 8500rpm's with my setup) but obviously the cutoff wouldn't allow me to rev higher. I wish I had some patience and would have tested what I could have got out of my setup, but I had to go turbo. Needed more power.....

wow nice numbers-- i think you could've hit 200 tuned with just adding cam gears, ecu, and tuning

Are you kidding of course its worth the Money, you can get CTR cams for $350 on http://www.Honda-tech.com. . . thats half the price of Skunk2 S1's and they are HONDA OEM Quality Thats what im getting but with different Valvetrain
