What would be a good cam upgrade for the type-R? This is mostly for street performance. I don't need the absolute best, just a good upgrade. I do not have the need for expensive jun cams. Has there been a review of the different cams? Also, which cams could be used with the stock type-R valve springs?

 

You could go Toda A's, or you could pick up a set of Crane cams. The Toda has a nice price tag. but either one will retain the stock ITR valve springs and will give you good preformance.

 

Toda A's
Skunk2 Stage 1

they are comparable, and you can use stock valvetrain

 

What are the power figures of these in comparison to other cams?

 

can you be more specific

 

Sorry, I meant, what the power increase when well tuned would these give in comparision to each other.

Jun stage 2 only intake cam.... That`s half the price for performance..
I`m sure that if you spend some time for a search, you`ll be satisfied with the info you`ll find.

Imho a cam upgrade ist crap. To much money for just a few hp... Go turbo or charger if you like to make serious gains...

i agree, in the long run it will be almost as much money n/a and more money if you to get n/a first and switch turbo as i did.. it will be faster.. and its so easy to get hp..

if not, then keep it stock, its so little difference.. really.. unless you're going to make the most of n/a setup..

 

skunk 2 stage 2's

 

Toda A , Skunk stage 1 or jun stage 1 and some good tuning

I agree. With some tuning, there's a lot of power to be made for half the price of Toda A's or Skunk 2 Stage I cams. Mad midrange. I have a dyno that another board member forwarded on to me. Impressive indeed.

 

And don`t forget: The JUN cams are of awesome quality.... Just for peace of mind..

 

I made more power with my stock cams then when I did with toda A's

i'd go with skunk 2's lots of people are using them

but how bout ef-1 cams? m21 cams rquire no valvetrain upgrades while m22 and over will require an upgraded valve springs

pm me if you are intersted

 

Most inexexpensive upgrade would be CTR cams at 500 a pair NEW you can't beat the bang for the buck.

I chose to go with Spoon cams, but these did require a Valve Spring upgrade so might not be your alley. Most mild cams can be run on the Stock setup but you have to note where the cams are supposed to give the best advantage.

 

well, why dont u post what kinda setup you have.

if you want more power, cams might not be the best for you in every situation.

unless this guy has an pre-98 itr cam, the ctr cam=itr cam

 

IM Len: KIllers.....hahah


Toda B's are nice.......seriously
