Does anyone have any dyno sheets for the type s cams? Could you also give me any information you have or heard about them. Thanks.

 

They are generally considered to not be compatible with the US H22A head. The TypeS head has different valve angles than the the regular H22A head. Typical symptoms of Type S cams in a non-TypeS head are severe rocker arm wear and exaggerated wear on the cam lobes themselves.

I'm sure at least one person will now chime in with "Well, I have TypeS cams in my car for x years and xx,xxx miles, and I never had a problem." But I've seen the head damage the TypeS cams can do...

Thanks. I was under the impression they were compatible. I'll probably just look elsewhere. Thanks.

 

I put type-S cams in my 94 JDM h22a motor about a year ago and I have had no problems with them. This may because of it being JDM as apposed to the USDm head like the previous guy said but it has been fine. After the swap the car dyno'd at 168.5hp bone stock with I/E. Also I dyno'd my car with just the type-s cams and I/E and got 183.6 to the wheels without tuning. So for the $250 i paid for the cams it was a good deal.

 

Yeah just go with a Crower Stage 2 set or something, the gains are the same if not better, and they are 100% compatible

 

yes if you wanna get the type s cams get the canadian version which seem to work well and not damage your engine...

 

i'd like some Type S cams

anybody have some for sale or know where i could find a set

 

huh????

 

... they do things ... alittle different up in Canada you might say

There's a pair on Ebay for sale right now.

 

what do they ussually go for .. ebay can be wrong....

 

There is no typeS cam made in canada. Its a JDM part.

As for gains they are not that great for the cost, if your going to spend the money on a cam get and aftermarket set like crower, skunk2 or JUN. You will see more gains with those. Also it a good idea to replace you valve train when upgrading you cam.

 

Jun's stage 2 intake cam, has the same lift as the Type-S cam(12.2mm)
And the exhaust cam is 11.9mm (11.2mm on the Type-S)

 

Ive had my type s cams for a year now with 10000 miles on them. With TYPE S springs and retainers. I drive it hard as hella past redline alot, and i havent had any problems. Im not worried about it, but should i? If i had problems would i already had them by now?

 

sorry, just making a joke. i've had type-s cams for about 40,000 miles now and have no problems. i have tracked the car twice and auto-x a few times with them, as well as dyno tuning with them. and i drive fairly aggressive. never seen the so called type-s cams problem even after specifically looking for it. i also know another guy with them who didn't have any problems, and he raised his redline to over 8000rpm with a chipped p72, and another guy with euro-r cams and he had no problems either. they're oem parts made by honda and they will work with the h22. all i can suggest for the 1 or 2 people who have had issues with it is that they were installed wrong or defective.
