all i kno is that the type s has a more agressive cams in it. but as for the actual numerical difference...i dont know.

 

get some calipers

 

yes, i know the difference because i have the type s cams (and AEM cam gears and V-AFC of course), and its about 17- w/hp , and noticable too

 

I don't know the difference however I would like to get this thread restarted because I presently have a JDM H22 motor in a civic hatch and I am looking into going with the Types S cams.

I heard that the <U>JDM H22</U> and the <U>USDM H22</U> cams are exactly the same. Can anyone comfirm this???

How can you distinguish the H22 Type S camshafts from the regaular H22 camshafts without dyno testing? It there any marking or coding on the camshaft itself which would distinguish itself from the other without measuring lobe and profiles?

You advuse would be appreciated .

 

measure them with calipers

Ha ha ha ha...lol!!! Wow...now moving forward for anyone who needed answers and searched the threads and found nothing. By the way you can see this is an old thread oh wise one!

I was informed buy searching via the web and stumbled onto http://www.preludeonline.com/s...85279. In the thread on this board it indicates that to identify type S cams there is J and K on intake cam, and J and W on exhaust cam. Also noted that type-s cams also have a blue tint on the lobes.

 

Anybody know the Honda part No. for the JDM type S camshafts?

 

they dont have a part number on the type s and the only way you can tell if it is the type s is by it's vtec lobe it's bigger with a little lip on the end of it.. if you compare it to the jdm and us you can really tell the differents.. the reason I know is because I bought a pair from hmotorsonline and compare it to my jdm h22a cams, right away the lobes were bigger and vtec was bigger and my jdm cams .. on a side note I'm selling my Type S cams too if anybody is interesed, hit me up at importaltima98@yahoo.com

 

that was a good post NICEHATCH good info now i know how to tell the difference

i had a question i am about to go turbo i was wondering if it would be better the get the TYPE S cams or stay with the stock H22 cams?? let me know thanks.

 

type s cams have a small tab/casting between the first set of lobes on each cam.

Hey thanks...anytime. As far as a turbo set up I'm not sure what would be the best preference for your setup. I am an all-motor guy when it comes to the H22 motor. Try to post in the turbo forums or see if this link on "The official H22 Camshaft Thread." Heres the link...https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=939641

Good Luck.

When I was speaking with the reps @ Hmotorsonline...he indicated that the Type S cams had Part# P5P on them. Not sure if this helps.

Good Luck.
