Default Swapping cams from a 06 RSX typeS into a 06 Civic SI

I have a 2006 civic si and i want to put cams from a 2006 RSX type S in my motor. Will they fit? Would i have to do anymore work besides just swapping out the cams?

Why not buy cams specific to the Si and remember there is nothing available from
hondata for tuning yet.

i dont it will make much if any difference. the tsx cams ( from 04-05) are more aggressive.

I agree, if your gonna get cams you should put the TSX cams in. Like stated before they are more agreessive. Also stated above, there is only piggy backs for the Si so you cant really maximize the cams. Id say go full bolt on if you havent already. About as much power as your gonna get without going turbo or S/C.

the tsx cams are better.

since they have longer duration
