For people who have ITR cam in their GSR, I want to know about the difference for performance, reliability, gas mileage, daily driving. Thanks.

 

Cons? None, it's OEM quality.

 

pros- can be used with stock valvetrain
- they make good powewr just dropped in, but even more tuned
- OEM quality

cons- you can get a more aggressive cam that will make more power

 

pros: almost same gas mileage, better mid range reponse and top end (with tuning), perfect for daily driving, OEM quality, don't need to change vavletrain if you're not going to rev higher

cons: not as fast as some of the other VTEC aftermarket cams out there, but were you expecting something different?

aside from that, do a search. these cams are better than stock gs-r cams for all motor or boosted.

 

I love the itr cams...felt increase in power mostly in the mid range to redline...fuel economy seems to be the same, its a great upgrade imo

i have not taken it to the dyno so i cant provide you numbers, but do search i'm sure you'll find something.

 

spend a little bit more money and get some real cams

 

ITR cams are great for a lift in an all motor setup. OEM quality and more ponies kicking around. Can't go wrong. Thats my next mod along with Cam gears.

They are real good cams especially for the money. GSR owners have seen more then 10whp after the dyno and tune. Some have seen better increases out of ITR/CTR cams then skunk2's because it fit there setup better. You want to get the best out of your powerband and flow with the rest of your mods. Having a cam like toda spec b's and having a stock 8k redline is just not using there full potential but using ITR cams it would be very beneficial and you could lift the redline a bit with a chippped ecu. It all depends what kind of powerband you are looking for. You can't have huge mods (toda, jun, sk2) and then throw on some cheap brand for another mod to balance it out. You need to get the same balance throughout the entire engine to get peak performance out of all the mods and then from there you try and build a very efficient powerband while your at the tuner and then you have a nice setup. ITR cams are real cams and they are a great mod for a GSR.

me neither.....ITR cams must be fake then???

 

I have ITR cams, although you can get better cams, these are great for the price you can get them for. And like said before you don't have to upgrade valvetrain. Even tho its a good idea to do so.

 

Upgrade your valvetrain, it's not hard and it's worth it.

Get some beefy *** cams like some EF-1 M25s. The hell with some ITR cams.

Most of you guys prolly will get them installed by someone else. So I say do it yourself and spend the money on the upgrade. You'll notice much more power than the ITR cam upgrade.

 

Whats the most WHP you can get out of the ITR cams in a GSR. Im just wondering what I am looking at once I get mine installed and where I stand. Also, anyone ran 13's all motor with the ITR cams on a gsr?....GSR is the key, no hatch or fully stripped cars. A streetable GSR with ITR cams and many other mods. Im hoping I can hit high 13's once I put them on with some good tuning.

Stick with the itr cams since they are proven and not internet hype.

Just let me drive it, I'll make it run 13's bro

 

So besides changing the springs to ITR ones, what other parts should I change to make the car run with good reliability? I do not plan to change the ECU or raise the redline.

Why even bother getting ITR/CTR cams if your not going to raise the redline?
if you do that you wont even be taking full advantage of the performance potential of the cams.

I highly recommend a 9000 RPM redline and a custom programeed ECU

If you want full response out of your cam mod (ITR's) then you should think about changing your redline/ecu and then obviously get the car tuned. Just dropping the cams in and using the stock gsr redline you will still see power gains but nothing like you would see with some tuning.

 

All you need for springs are the type R inner intake springs. Move the inner springs from the gsr to the exhaust side and put them on the intake side.

those must have been the fake ones pimpslaps talking about?

jk.. how on earth did you find them for so cheap?

 

They were new too. My friend gave me a killer deal. I sold my gsr cams for 100 so I made out with some nice cams for 100$.

 

they have a decently good amount of power imo. if ur planning to get cams that arent really crazy and have decent power, you best bet would be these. i had them on my gsr. i felt a little more tug while in the higher rpms. i would recommend adjustable cam gears. you will get more out of these cams if u get em tuned.
