You cannot use A or A2 cams in the A3 motor.

he means you cannot use K20a2 or jdm k20a (ITR) cams in the k20a3 (EP3) which was the last part of your 1st post

I dunno mabe $250....you can't use them in anything else but a K20a2 or JDM k20a (ITR) motor

jdm k20a ITR cams go for $450-$550 but thats because they are in demand...there is little to no demand for RSX-S (k20a2) cams

 

ok coo, i misunderstood, i thought he said he cant use ITR cams in the RSX-S motor, which was kinda weird cause they installed already haha, so roughly about 200-250 is a fair price for S cams?

found some for sale on ClubRSX

 

No, I have a set of ITRs that I ran for over a year in my RSX Type S.

 

Type S cams? Those will not work in an EP3 if that is your intent.

 

basically you can't really get anything for those cams, because people with type-s's already have them and yo ucan't use them in the Base model rsx or the civic Si. So your practically stuck with them.

 

getting more technical, why is it exactly that you cant use type-s cams in a EP3?

 

Different amount of rocker arms.

Here's a pic. Type-S head is on top the base is below.




Look at the lobes on the cams see the difference. Now underneath the cams are the rocker arms.
Hope this helps comparison wise.

and a K24A2 too, lol im an ***

on a side note

i have been thinking about this for a while now, just something im pondering. but how about swapping the whole valve train over? the rocker assembly, the whole deal. has anyone else thought about it? or even attempted it. maybe just the intake side, seeing how the exhaust side has no VTEC.

 

swap the head....

 

The LMAs are different as well. It would not work.
