Toda Header vs. Spoon Header
I'm sure you guys at AJ used a little more than just Toda B's and Spoon header....compression? TB overbore or Spoon 70mm tapered TB? ARC intake? headwork?

i believe its with toda's valve springs, aem intake, yoshio ecu, cam gears. Just the basic things you need when you change cams.
its also nice and cool in canada too.

Here's a SAE corrected TODA header dyno run on a built B18C5
We have the following setups for the B18C5:
Spoon air filter
Spoon 4-1 header
Spoon Cam gears
Spoon 2P head gasket
Toda B cams
Toda valve springs
AJR ECU ( AJR spec programmed by Yoshio)
AJR aluminum crank pulley
AJR bore throttle body
5zigen Border speed 304 exhaust
We dynoed it for 207 whp and 134 ft/lbs of torque.
I will try to post that dynoplot as soon as I get it off from my customer.

I'm anxious to see the plot to compare it to a similar setup, 2001 ITR without the Spoon header (JDM 4-1 instead).
He certainly is similar with the torque, gotta work on the top end horsepower.

Please post the dyno as plot soon as you get it.

are the spec C's alot better then the Spec B's? I heard that in order to use spec Cs you need a test pipe? What if you had all 2.5" piping? like jdm header, high flow cat and custom exhaust..
thanks
thanks
how will it make more midrange? the spec for everything on the cams are the same as spec b's, except for the vtec lobes which are larger on the spec c's.
Power wise, I dont think so. according to the C cams' spec it will make way more mid-range power and more constant power at the top.

The statement that the nonVTEC primary and secondary lobes between the Spec B & C cams is correct. Moreover the VTEC crossover point for these are both very high at around 7000-7500 rpm,.... so for street rpm ranges they are identical.
I think people have to appreciate that what is meant by race only cams is the fact that the grind here has less compromise for the idle, midrange, and emissions . The Spec B and C are actually considered as "mild" race cams. The Toda Killer cams must start to sing beyond 7000 rpm and have sero compromise for any "midrange power". When I spoke to Pierre Kleinubing up at Mosport I asked what is the lowest rpm he drops down to at say the turn 5 slow Moss corner (almost a hairpin) and he said 7000 rpm...that's the lowest...it was a very enlightening statement about the operating range these engines are intented for at full out road racing competition...saying it has great midrange does not factor into this level of racing. I'm sure Toda factored this in when they ground these mild cams and the Killer cams: driveability means a broad power band but the level of this power band is 7000-12,000 (in the case of the Killer cams...perhaps 9500 rpm with the B's and C's). This is why I grin when people say...they have great midrange.

I think you need to take into account that we don't drive our cars on a race track where the Realtime cars are, so for us, midrange is important. The reason everyone likes TODA's awesome midrange is because on the street where we all drive our cars, midrange counts. No grining about that.
I think you misunderstood my point. The midrange comment was wrt "racing cams". The racing cam label on the Spec B and Spec C delineate the cam's operating range. Few people appreciate the consequence of such a label or what it means. Racing cams do not care about idle or the range we call midrange. I have Toda B's and appreciate their "midrange" but what you and I call midrange and what the racecar drivers call mid range is 2 totally different areas.
