I'm purchasing a Rsx-S soon and would like to do minor upgrades like cams, HIE and etc. I owned a dc2 with ctr cams before and i loved when the vtec engaged (how loud it was) and i would like to do the same for the RSX-S

Which cams is best for the rsx-s motor without upgrading valvetrains? Also, how do you differentiate the stock rsx cams from rsx type r cams? I know the CTR has two rings on the dizzy side, is this the same with the cams? Thanks

 

just so you know the k-series Vtec transition is alot smoother and not as loud as the b-series. also if you get an 05-06 rsx-s they have type r cams in them already, personally i would tell you to keep the stock cams in there and just go with bolt ons and K-pro for know. i ran a 13.6 in my rsx with just bolt ons and i know theres some room for improvement on my runs.

 

Im not really into speed as of now, i had a s2000 and turbo gsr in the past as well as a few sport like. I had ctr cams in my gsr and i love the vtec loudness. Is there cams out there that can produce loudness or like rick said the transition is smooth and its not as loud. Sorry K series is unknown to me as of now

 

Apparently so is the search button...You want the crossover to be louder throw on an SRI...

 

Seriously? You want to install cams to make the vtec x-over louder? I haven't seen that one in a while.

Just do as tyte-s says and buy a short ram intake if all your after is sound-bling.

And are you sure the vtec loudness in your GSR wasn't the dual-stage intake manifold opening up?

 

i tried searching but came up with nothing. Also, how do you differentiate the stock rsx cams from rsx type r cams? I know the CTR has two rings on the dizzy side, is this the same with the k series cams? Thanks

 

No it wasn't the dual stage opening up. I had a blox after market IM and my vtec engaged at 5400rpm. Everyone has different preferences, I had a turbo gsr, s2000 and a few bikes in the past so speed is not something that im not chasing after. i just want a clean DD along with bolt ons and a nice set of cams where it gives me some potential gain in Hp but most of all i love the vtec sound so that is my thing. I appreciate the responses but please keep it positive. Thanks

 

just keep the stock cams and go with an ARC super induction box i hear its the loudest intake you can buy and its some engine bay bling.
remember this isn't a B-series its a K and things are a little different now that you moving on up

 

...nevermind that a properly built VTEC motor should have a smooth transition and not a huge power spike when the x-over occurs.

Why don't you just get a short-ram intake and a vtec controller and set the vtec point artificially high. That'll give you the sound you want.

 

 

If it sucks, don' read or comment...duh!

Like i said I'm not familiar with the K series and i wanted a little help and if you aren't interested in sharing some knowledge than that is fine but there is no need for any immature comments or pictures. Thanks

 

IPS K2 cams are the best for the K20

You've already been answered...the cheap solution is a short-ram intake.

Otherwise you're spending a lot of money just to get a 'vtec' sound somewhat like a B-series had.

It's like trying to make a 4-cylinder car sound like a V8 with just a simple muffler change--it isn't going to happen--if ever.
