Intrinsic Performance Soutions has finally released their k2 camshafts for the rsx type-s.

BigDawg & JTSmith installed them into their cars this weekend. Install went smoothly once we remembered that the timing chain auto-tensioner has an access plate. JTSmith also upgraded his valvesprings, which went suprisingly smoothly with 2 people, air compressor, and dinky valve spring tool he bought for 100$.

Once the cams were installed, of course we had to see how they stacked up against a known combo. . .

Anyhow, mods to the best of my knowledge are as follows:

JTSmith:

aem cold air intake
comptech race header
comptech exhaust
IPS k2 cams

Swwifty:

comptech icebox
type-r header + spoon downpipe
fujitsubo power getter exhaust
type-r cams
type-r intake manifold
rear seats removed

Both have k-pro, some sort of suspension work, stock wheel/tire size, some type of engine dampner/mount. So aside from the cams & intake manifold, they're pretty well matched. I rode in swwifty's (black) car first, then JTSmith's (white).

video was shot in 16:9, aspect ratio will be skewed unless you use a player that will do 16:9 such as the divx player. enjoy.

RIGHT CLICK SAVE AS PLEASE!!!!!

 

no dyno graphs -yet- (to show gains) I take it?

looks impressive very interested...isn't there another (clubrsx.com) member running these (replaced toda n2 cams)???

 

they have dyno charts from the test car, but bigdawg & jtsmith will be doing their own dynos within a week or so.

nice numbers

 

Actually BigDawg is DC5Dawg here.

I am going to get over to the dyno on Saturday. You want to go Raz?

 

Yeah, and that is with all other internals stock, even an OEM combination of valve springs.

 

Yeah, he said that, but I have told him he needs to wait. Mark is just very anxious.

 

what k-pro calibration did guys go with once you installed the cams?

 

We have a set of calibrations that Doug tuned specifically for IPS cams.


...and before anyone asks, I cannot release them.

I assume balanced?

give me a call, i'm down for sure. is Justin coming up again?

 

Actually, there was a dyno competition out in Carrollton at Z1 Motorsports, but I am going to call Balanced later and see if they have a slot Saturday. The additional money I will spend on the dyno will be about the same as the gas and time to haul my happy *** to Carrollton.

No, Justin's brother is borrowing his car for prom or some bullshit. I told him that was insane. I would laugh at my brother if he asked to borrow my car. Of course Justin probably has the nicest car in all of Hazzard County aside from that orange Charger with the rebel flag on the roof that the neighbors have.

 

That was a nice vid. If these cams are for sale where do you buy them at.

Dude if you go to Balanced, I'm gonna kick you in the nuts the next time I see you

Oh don't try and make me feel bad for letting my little brother borrow my car for a night. It's either my car or the John Deer.

what about mainstream? I like those guys & their shop is where you did your most recent dyno testing. ..

and wtf. . . Justin is way too nice to his bro. . .

 

thats a sweet *** home video

 

nice cams but it's not a fair comparion. if you want a fair one, then both with have to have the same mods minus the cams part. because I know the AEM intake will make more power then the comptech icebox. so it's hard. should have dynoed before and after.

 

they dyno'd with similar HP before the cams were put in on justin's car.

 

Looks good
do you have the numbers for the cams lift and duration??
and where can I find them?

 

You cannot buy them yet, but they will be available soon at http://www.intrinsicperformance.com or http://www.hondawerx.com

The specs (advertised):
Intake:
primary-253 (9.25mm)
secondary-302 (13.28mm)

Exhaust:
primary-246 (8.10mm)
secondary-295 (11.84mm)

 

damn.. chunky, thanks again for all your great information... mmm... great vid too; keep up the good work!

 

Thanks for the info.

So is it a most to change the valvesprings? The valvesprings that are list are from an RSX but different years?

 

Correct, they work with that valvespring/retainer combo or with the Toda/flat top 02 retainers.

 

from watching the video on the first run when the white car pulls away. What was that coming out of his exhaust as he shifted into 4th gear. It looks like a whole bunch of black powder shoot out. Like is if that car is running super rich.

 

It might have been because he really had not tuned it yet. Both of us are still working on the calibrations.
