i was all set to buy skunk2 stage 1 cams but now ive been offered an accord euro R head complete with cams for $600.

what would be the best option for me to go for ?

 

i would go with the R head

 

ive been doing some searching around and the accord type R make 212hp (174whp)on 11:1 compression and ive read the skunk2 stage ones will make 185whp on 10:6 compression.

can anyone confirm this ?

 

is that head coming with the euro r intake manifold??

if so, go with that instead...

 

yep i already have the euro manifold sitting in my garage.

does anyone have any info on what will make more power ? euro R head and cams or skunk2 stage 1's

i really need an opinion what what will make more power and i also understand that alot of people will say go with euro R just because its euro R and its rare in the states but im from the uk and euro R 's are very common here

 

Skunk2 will make more power. Just look at the cam profiles. The Skunk2 is significantly more aggressive. The R will idle smoother and be a little more streetable. That, and you can say you have a Prelude Type R

 

thanks

you show me where the skunk2 is so <u>significantly</u> more aggressive....i want to see a full cam profile for both cams, and then you can point out to me which one is <u>significantly</u> more aggressive

then once you are done there, show me the dyno sheet of both cams compared on the same motor....you cannot base hp numbers solely on a spec sheet....

and if it was anything, it would be a prelude euro r

 

i thought that the euro R cams and they type S cams were nearly identical.. and the type S cams were more agressive than the skunk 2 stg 1's... i saw a website where it had all the cam specs, and i thought that the lift on the typeS cams was equivalent of a crower 2 cam.

edit.. i found the site, here..
