How can you tell if type r cams are the real deal or fakes? I bought a set of brand new CTR cams off of a company on ebay and got them today. I looked for an ECU code on the cams because I read somewhere that it'll say. Is there a way to tell?

I tried searching. I guess I was using to much "basic" words.

Thanks.

you're welcome

 

I think you guys are forgetting the fake JDM CTR/ITR cams that were being sold awhile back.

There were a few threads made that compared the real to the fake. There are a few tell tale signs of quailty that seperates the fakes from the real.

I never heard about them, but that freaking sucks if they are so close in comparison for those people who are not as mechanically inclined. I hope they don't come around again....

 

They came in oem honda like boxes and even the orangish bags but the tint of color was slightly off as was the oem honda part number on the box.

 

From what I read and compared. Mine are real, could be a set of the fakes though. Never know what the hell people sell you. The company on ebay had good feedback and **** though.
