ok im interestedin buying so new civic type-r cams im wondering first can they be installed in my usdm gsr motor?? and also i hear civic type-r cams are the same as integra type-r the only difference is that the civic intake cam is better than the integra and both the exahust cams are the same. is this true??? also i hear you dont have to upgrade springs and retainers with the civic type-Rs is this true?? please some one out there help me out. CAUSE im interested in buying some soon thanks

 

The CTR intake cam has 3 degrees more duration than the ITR intake. The exhaust Type R cams are the same. I believe you can get away with running Type R cams without stiffer or dual valve springs but just because you can get away with it doesn't make it a good idea. My B16A came with CTR cams and I rev it out to 8K without any problems but I don't know what valve springs it's got in there.

Yeah, I got the stock b16 springs with my ctr cams. But thats giong away soon, with my next stage of upgrades. Do it right the first time.

 

ask member name biggdogg he had them on his b16

 

Search for all the horror strorys thats all i will say and i promise you will think again

 

97-99 ITR intake cams are different than 00-01 ITR intake cams...

The 00-01 ITR and CTR intake cams are the one's that have the longer duration. All exhuast cams are the same.

There is nothing wrong with using CTR or ITR cams in your GSR motor. I had ITR cams on my old b16 and changed no valvetrain. Motor saw 8k+ rpms all the time and never had any problems with it.

Go for it, just make sure that the cam has the two engraved rings on it.
