I have a 2000 Type R. I want to keep it stock appearing so it doesnt look modified it has a mugen head gasket that bumps the compression up. It has a Composite Intake manifold gasket and ARC intake.The head has new valves and is fully ported. I have stock exhaust but i might use stock muffler but use bigger piping i also have a JDM ITR header and a test pipe.
.....WHAT CAMS WOULD YOU GUYS SUGGEST ON THIS BUILD? I know ill require tunning too idk what ecus or engine management to use for my application
..........

.................Another thing is that do i have to take the head off to change the springs and retainers or is there a trick so i dont have to go through the hassle.?? ???

 

I'd suggest Toda As for your engine. JUN 2s would work well also.

Anything more aggressive than that will be hampered by the JDM 4-1 header.

A Hondata ECU is one of a few good choices for engine management.

 

I'm not sure about the cams, but there is a way to do the springs and retainers w/o removing the head.

I have no first hand experience with cams, BUT M22xx or M22x seem like a nice option. Toda B's also. Skunk2 pro 1 also. Blox B's perhaps.

Kind of depends on where you want your power band to be and what you plan on doing with the car.

For ECU, it appears that Neptune's RTP will be out soon and should outshine Hondata's s300 for less money. That would require you to buy an OBD1 ecu though.


AEM EMS is another pricey option but you can stay OBD2.


Search is your best friend. Expect to spend countless hours searching only to change your mind a hundred times.

 

you can do the springs with out taking the head off. you will need a compression tester minus the guage and a constant supply of shop air... the air in the cly keeps the valves from dropping.....

 

what valvetrain for springs and retainers and what kind of hp or 1/4 mile times would you expect with these cams? thanks all you guys for the help i want to make it a decent and reliable without having to worry bout reliablity

There's also the rope method for those w/o air

 

how the hell u use rope? you cant put a piece of rope under the spring.. when you take the retainers they some times drop... let me know

 

if your sticking to street use i would get stage 1 skunk2 cams theres a 17 hp gain by a simple drop in, and good for street use JUN cams are fkin expensive.

Yeah Skunk Stage One is pretty much a drop-in, but the timing needs to be corrected.

 

I'm new here, so sorry, if my question will be stupid.
So..
What is the main differences between Stages? For exmpl stg1 and stg2, o stg2 and stg3. I notised that digids of lobes and stuff, but i don't understand them

If i'll upgrade valvetrain, and will go for ecu chiping, so what camshafts should i use? And why?

Air fills the cylinder/compression chamber with air, which is what prevents the valve from dropping. Rope can be used by inserting enough of it into the sparkplug hole to prevent the valve from dropping, I would guess that putting it at TDC for the cylinder you are working on would make this easier. I've only used the air method.

 

would you trust that rope thing like you said?? seeing you only done it with air

Dunno, I'll let you know if I'm ever in a situation where I don't have an air compressor.. which is unlikely

 

ive seen good numbers with buddy club 3's on a semi stock itr motor.
