searched all around to identify these cams that are supposedly type r ...but i can't find a picture to match these....

it has 3 protruding rings on both cams

my intake cam looks just like a b17 intake cam as you can see in the picture below used as a reference




but the exhaust cam doesn't match the b17 exhaust cam showed in the picture above, it doesnt have the ring around the tip.

not sure if somebody can clear this up for me i'd appreciate it!

also they both have a stamp "M" in the middle of the shafts idk if that helps.

 

nobody knows what cams these are?

 

Why not measure them yourself, then use google to find out what specs they are matched to

 

i can't seem to even find a picture of these cams which is what's bothering me...what do i measure them with a micrometer?

 

b16a2?


i have the same cams in my b16a2

 

the b16a2 doesn't have the protruding rings though. anybody else? it'd really help me out if i can identify these cams.

 

bringing this back from the dead, still haven't come to a conclusion. if anybody can clear this up for me i'd appreciate it.

 

1.7L GSR cams

Edit: actually I think they are 1.8L GSR cams.

 

can't be because i have a GSR head and i compared it to the cams and the GSR is like the b17 with the enraved ring around the tip on the exhaust side. as for mine it doesn't have the ring at the tip, instead it's enclosed.

*edit
here's a pic of 94+ GSR which looks almost identical to the b17 one i posted above.

 

Well if you've got GSR cams sitting around just get a ruler and measure the lift of both cams. If the unknown cams are bigger, they're ITR. If not...

 

They do not look like my 00-01 ITR cams.

 

They do look identical best best is measurments

 

Back from the dead still haven't been able to identify these cams...does anybody know what these cams are? Also is there a spec sheet where i can look up the measurements?

 

Why even waste your time? It has been years - they aren't gold and aren't going to increase in value over time. They are B18C1 GSR cams.

/thread

 

they are not gsr cams
look closer
I have 2 sets of gsr cams and b17 cams and early b16 cams its none of those

they don't match any b series cams
looks like someone tried to make them into b17 cams
most likely they are aftermarket regrind of b17 cams
best way to measure them

 

except they aren't GSR cams which has been proven many times especially since i have a set of GSR cams and these lobes are longer, don't be ignorant.

agreed, it looks almost like b17 cams but they are not, the only difference is these cams don't have the ring on the tip on the exhaust side.

anybody know a website where i can look for the spec sheet for aftermarket and stock cams sizes?

 

measure them and post it here.

theres plenty of pages that list stock Honda cam sizes and a lot of aftermarket.

I have a suspicion that these are stock b16a2 cams that someone tried to turn into gsr or itr. or maybe regrinds to gsr specs so they put a ring on it lol

 

I will have stock b16a2 cams soon.

and have 89 b16 exhaust
b17 intake
gsr
to measure with vernier caliper
so you can measure at home and post it here

how do I properly measure the cam lift when the lobe is not centered?

 

Can't be...the b16 have no rings around them.

There is no way these were tampered with, they are perfectly machined right. I took em to a performance shop around town and was told that they might be old school Toda cams, but they could be wrong. Supposedly Toda didn't mark their cams back in the day and made their cams OEM style...is this true can anyone confirm this? I will measure them, just have to go get a micrometer.

 

i wouldn't lose any sleep over these cams. there not itr/ctr cams and there not gsr cams. Im betting there just pre obd b16 cams.

 

MEASURE THEM. Damn, its not rocket science. Measure the base circle, measure the highest point. Big number - small number = max lift. Do that with the GSR and the unknown cams and post the numbers on here.

Those rings are obviously not factory made. They have been put there by another method. You will not find out what they are without measuring them.

 

I have 2 sets of GSR cams that look IDENTICAL to your cams. One came out of 94 GSR and the other a 95 GSR engines sealed from factory. One JDM and one USDM. Say whatever you want, have fun trying to figured it out for years to come since you don't know how to measure things. LMFAO...

 

turbo crv you say a lot of inaccurate things

you should post them here because 2 of my gsr sets do not look anything like that.
unless you blind

 

Holy $... dude in two years you couldn't get around to measuring them?

 

hes waiting for some Honda god to magically know what they are
