i know about that whole overlap deal. But i want a different reason. Any suggestions?

 

Type-S cams should be fine for turbo. They have higher lift, which is good and not much more duration I believe (correct me if I'm wrong). With extensive tuning I bet you can make great power, you can always dial out some overlap with cam gears.

 

thanks for your input... the reason why i ask this and not try both is because its a bitch changing them. (for me that is)

 

lance ho with the hp racing civic runs off stock cams and made some crazy whp

 

If you're gonna spend the money on cams for a turbo
you would be better off getting a set of custom grinded ones
made specifically for a turbo application.

 

reason i ask is because i have both sets laying around

 

The stock and Type-S have the same overlap. The S intake cam opens the valves 5* earlier and the exhaust valves open 5* later for a total of 240* duration on each cam. So I would use the type-S but I would be weary of going over stock red line w/o spring upgrade.
