If you're using stock GSR cams, they're more than sufficient for boost. Just time them further away and you should have on probs. If those are the cams you're using right now, then you should look for a new tuner.

for turbo you should get Higher lift and the least duration possible.

Well they're definitely not stock cams (stock cams are stamped to match the ECU). Aside from that, I have absolutely no idea what cams they are, but I do know that you can mic them and get a pretty good idea of what specs they are.

GSR cams are good for turbo. I've also heard GSR intake, and B16 exhaust or Type R intake, and GSR exhaust.

Has anybody heard anything on that?

high lift and low duration?

are you sure you dont mean high lift and low *OVERLAP*?

overlap is what causes the boost pressure to jet out the exhaust before combustion is complete. duration just allows MORE air into the cylinder

most cams will work well as long as theres not too much duration in the lobes. ITR's seem to be the most agressive that most people can get away with. they may require some cam gear adjustments to get them perfect, like anything else.

should i get itr camshafts or gsr cams for my turbo setup? what would be better?

<U>WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</U>

If you have as little duration as possible your car will make no high RPM power, period. You want to MINIMIZE overlap, and that usually means a bit less duration than N/A.

DaveF

itr cams and adjust the overlap out with a set of cam gears

What are you guys arguing about? You're both right, depending on the situation. If you're running a mild RPM (sub 8k) and mild boost, more overlat and less lift will be prescribed. If you're running high RPM and/or higher boost (18+) you'll definitely want more lift and less duration. If you really want to get into it I'll explain why.

Thanks for the correction

Since you don't know the specs and you call the people trying to help you a dumbass, i guess your just fucked... dumbass.

I'll be nice and let you know that if you are going for a budget setup, the cams should be alrite, but if you want to make good power, you should determine what cams are in there, then determine if you want to keep them.

e-thuggin y0!

Ready to look and feel like a true dumbass?? ppppssssssssssttt....The cams you have may already be ITR or GSR spec. Don't you think it'd be a good idea to measure them first? Nah...That's way too productive.

No they aren't.

BTW, for the creator of this post, I have a set of GSR cams for sale.

Oh really?? So if I show you 10 different cams from 5 different cars, you'll say I'm wrong, right??

Do some research man. All of the B/D-series cams are stamped to match their ECU's which match the heads. Don't believe me? Go to "search" and type in the name of the ECU and you'll see cams with the same name.

On that note, if you don't know what you're talking about, shhhhh...You're just making an *** of your self. You could have spent 2min and done some research before you got your dumb-*** humiliated. This also makes it apparant that you either A: Have never disassembled a Honda engine, and B: Apparantly don't have real GSR cams for sale.

Jared

listen jackass, the cam part numbers have the ecu in them, the only way to identify them is by the rings on the end. dont be a moron.
