Did some searching but didn't find much usefull info, so I need help. I was wondering how good or bad are N/A cam for turbo. The deal is that I want to run N/A for a little bit until I can afford my turbo setup, silver surfer it is. compression is nearly 10.5:1.

another question, is there any difference from CTR to ITR cams? which is better for NA?

Otherwise what cams do you guys most preferred?

The car is going to be a sleeper so, it's not going to be out that much. LSVTEC with forged internals.

 

if ur going to get a equal length manifold then get some NA cams. if u already have the CTR or ITR's just use them if not them but some Skunk2 pro1

 

equal length is what I have in mind. don't have any of the listed cams yet. are skunk2 pro2 better than skunk2 pro1? I've heard of some people putting the pro2s down below the type R cams but I don't know much about cams. So the way I see it is all motor cams are also good for turbo application as long as you use equal leng manifold for the turbo setup, right? is there quite a bit of difference in the CTR and ITR cams?

 

Look for the dyno numbers that Tony1 just did on the skunk cams

 

the only diff between the ITR an CTR cams is in the 00-01 years the CTR intake cams have 3* more duration than the ITR makin them more aggressive.

 

so are you saying that 99 and below, CTR and ITR cams are the same?

 

00-01 usdm itr and ctr cams are indentical

 

Skunk2 Stg 2 NA cams FTW!

STOCK CTR CAMS

Duration Duration @ .050 Gross Lift w/ 1.55
294 / 305 240 / 232 447 / 416 Identical to 00-01 ITR cams
294 / 286 233 / 224 449 / 417 Identical 97-99 except that CTR has 3* more duration on intake than ITR

Haha, that's rich.

Last Pro2 NA car I saw made 258 whp and probably had a bit more left in it. You won't do that on factory cams, but the JDM-loving *********** will say anything to edit history so Hype-R is better than anything.

Equal length is irrelevant.


The way it always works is the people looking for NA gains now and boost later rarely build a correct NA or a correct boosted vehicle, but waste all sorts of money on **** that isn't ideal for either setup. Why not just do it once, and do it right?

haha in other words learn to build and then learn to tune it correctly
