I just bought some itr cams from a pretty trusting friend. I got the cams and have not installed them yet. But here is my concern... I thought you could pick out a itr cam by looking at the nipple which connects to the dizzy, and it would have 1 or 2 ribs or rings .. on it. this one is smooth with none at all. did i get ripped or what, I figured you guys would know... thanks a bunch.

u are aware that jdm itr cams dont have the dual rings at all? and usdm 97-98 have only the single ring. only the 00-01 usdm have the dual rings. install it and see how it works first.

everyone else agree?

 

i agree w/ b18c1_powered_si

not alot of people no that difference w/ the JDM cams. I have even seen aftermarket CTR and ITR camshafts when i was overseas at the honda dealerships and they too do not have the rings on them except for the 00-01 cams.

thanks guys.. one more thing, the smaller lobes on the itr cam, are they the same as gsr? or are they slightly more aggressive?

 

Your right about the cams. These do not have the rings, but i measured the lobes and compared them to a b16. The vtec lobes are almost twice as wider and slightly higher lift than the b16 cams. Thanks everyone!!
