Whats the deal with these cams? Search didn't bring up anything.

 

They are an ultralight hollow-core cam.

They are single lobe too - no VTEC.

They only make power above 5000 rpm upto maybe 12K rpm and likely would idle somewhere around 2K.

Not streetable.



"TODA VTEC KILLER camshafts are similar to what professional touring car teams have used for years in the British BTCC and Japanese JTCC and Group A racing series. TODA has been offering these camshafts to Japanese race teams for years, and now we are making this advanced technology available to consumers. They are designed for racing only and provide power gains from 5000rpm and up. The camshafts are produced from a special hollow core developed exclusively by TODA Racing for lighter weight and higher rpm capability*. The kit comes complete with camshafts and special hardware needed to complete the conversion. Three different intake and three different exhaust profiles are offered. Special order item! Price: $1,800 "

*TODA dual valve springs are required for this kit. Using non-TODA valve springs may cause damage to the camshafts.

1800 bucks? That's some serious money for cams.

how much power do they make?

 

What am I an information booth?

They just came out...nobody knows yet.

 

Well that's the million dollar question haha...well i'm sure they require great amounts of tuning like everything...so we'll just have to see when Lip decides to throw these in his beast

 

it really depends on tuning as there 3 sets of them and you can use them in different combinations to your liking. There made for racing only...and high reving.
If you want set let me know or give me a ring.
I would expect high hp #'s if there is tuned right.
I don't know of anyone thats used them as of yet.

 

Doh! An information booth! LOL

 

they make 1 million horsepower!!!!!!!!!

 

Don't you mean a BILLION?

 

WHOAAAA!!!!! I'll take two....

 

Why not get all 3 set's, and try them all, yeah

 

dont mean to sound dumb here but how are they not streetable? I can live with a 2k idle.

 

dood you gotta drive around ALL DAY at 5000+ RPM. Your gas mileage will suck, your emissions will be terrible, and your engine will not last too long if you drive your car daily with these cams. These are for race cars. Unless you really are an N1 racer, you most likely don't want these cams.

 

These cams are used in N2 race cars. Some are modified from these cam's which can also be done if you have to the money to want them custom done by Toda of Japan.

 

I mean 1 billion horsepower!!!!!!!!

 

is that 1 billion to the wheels or at the flywheel?
if it as the wheels i think you are making that number up.

 

It's like staying in vtec all day long ......

 

 

Well i think it's safe to say that w/ these cams and you keep the motor above 5K all the time and redline 12K....your motor isn't goin to last too long eh...hmm anyone know how a motor sounds like when mis-shifting at 12K?..haha

 

Well not if you have seq shifter you can't mishift

 

What about the specs Cs? How much hp do they add?

 

those only come with about a million hp only

 

soo you would say .... about 20hp?

 

it all depends on the tuning...you can slap those on and actually loser power in cases..You can expect around 200+whp with proper tuning

 

Seriously i love the "how many horsepower questions" haha, I mean considering every car/ motor is different and granted that cams and other bolt ons all require some bit of tuning,
