Default IPS Cams are a no go....

It seems that IPS is going out of business, so I guess they will not be making cams for our beloved Z3 as we have all been waiting for. This sucks to say the least...here is the link to K20A about it....

Norris says he will continue to sell IPS products. They are out of business to the public. PM K20hondas

So after re-reading all of those damn pages, it seems they are just closing shop to the public.

How can he sell the cams if they haven't been produced? Last I heard they were still going through all the R&D for cams for the Z3.

Arent the Z3 heads very similar to the TSX heads? People were just changing the valve seats to run the valvetrain and cams. Just speculation.

Externally, yes. Internally no. And the port on the Z3 is similar to the A2 (about 290cfm). The TSX's is about 276cfm. The TSX internals and RSX-S internals are swappable with the Z3's, which is good since the Z3 head runs about $300 vs. around $1300-$1680 for the RSX-S....

I knew about the ports and internal compatability. Was just wondering if simply changing the valve seats would allow the valvetrain and cams to work.

Not sure if you all are interested to know that there are also Skunk2 and TODA cams.

I see the TODA cams, but not sure about the Skunk2 cams. All I see is the Skunk cam gears and some titanium valves....this is the second time this link has been posted with someone referencing the Skunk2 Cams, but I have yet to see them.
