also how can u tell if theyre the genuine item.. here are pics of cams + headers from a type s.. this I was told..

 

the cams might give u an extra 5hp, i personally never used them but thats a rough guess. its nearly impssible to tell from pics like that, you pretty much have to check them with a micrometer the be sure.

 

so cams + headers? 10hp perhaps? hehe

maybe, i wouldnt get too anxious though. the type s also has higher compression. higher compression alone makes power, then combine it with a higher lift cam, and the extra compression makes the cam more efficient, etc. i think you get the idea.

my guess is you wont gain much with those mods alone, but combined with an intake and a maybe a good vafc tune you should see better results

 

yeah looking to perhaps get these cams + headers plus

- ICEMAN CAI (on the way)
- ECU chipped/tuned/dyno
- Spoon Head Gasket
- Hi-flo Cat
- New Cat-back exhaust

should get some power then ye?

lots of people have seen 200whp with type s cams ...id rather have thme the any stage 1 cam out there(skunk crower ect)

 

what about rockets vs the type s cams....that graph on kteller is amazing....

 

I made over 200whp on type-s cams and a header... but I can't tell if the header and cams will get you there judging by your pictures. Get a micrometer and measure the VTEC lobe and PM me I can tell you if they are or not.

I just dropped a set of Type S cams, adj cam gears last week. Cam gears are all at 0. I 'm having an untuned VAFC but still feel noticable gain. I 'm waiting for my catback, hi flow cat, and then hit the dyno. I hope I will make around 200whp along with other mods. Wish me luck! And good luck to you too S7H.

 

I hope you have a *good* header... It took me a lot of tuning to get 200whp. I hope your VAFC is adequate.

I believe you. I don't have a good header. I have a shitty DC, plan to wrap it soon with Thermotec. I dyno tuned my VAFC before when my car was still an auto with fewer mods than now, I gained 9whp and some area near the top I gained the largest of 14whp. I think VAFC for now is ok not too bad.

 

what was the rest of your setup pirate. just wondering what you had to do to get to 200whp. cams and bolt ons?

 

Markings are a J and a K on either cam....
HiCam lobe size is 36.85mm or 1.45 inches...

 

Hi PirateMcFred,

I have the current engine setup:

- Mugen header
- Greddy evo I exhaust
- Magnaflow hi flow cat
- Type S intake
- VAFC II (untuned yet)

Do you think that adding a set of used type S cams can get me to the 200 WHP (and tuning) ?

Thanx

Mart

All OEM H22 except inner springs and retainers for a little insurance in case of over-rev, adj cam gears and a custom header/2.25" exhaust (that could have been better).

Not real likely but you never know you could have a strong motor. It's all in the tuning and a VAFC is not real high on the list of great tuning devices.

It's all in the tune guys...
