will rsx type-s cams fit in the ep?

 

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the head of the k20a3 different from that of the k20a2... so the cams would not fit. if i'm wrong, someone please correct me.

 

A2 cams have 3 lobes, A3 Intake cam has 2 lobes and the exhaust cam has 1 lobe

they are the same

 

same? hmm, I could've sworn they were different

Unless your only talking about the bare head, but all the internals are different

 

correct.......the bare heads are the same.......and for further info, so is the ITR head

 

heads are the same but the valve train is diff correct?

 

it varies between them all, but correct, most internal components are varied

 

They absolutely will not work in the US EP. The rocker assemblies are very different. Wait for Skunk2 to come out with their A3 cams.

This is an educated guess but there are probably some differences in the oil ports on the exhaust side of the head so the rocker assemblies won't work when transplanted eiher.

i have some k20a2 cams for sale if you want to try it out.

 

Hmmm, I guess the REAL question is:

theoretically, could a person with an A3 take the INTAKE cam from an A2 and, though they would not be using the 3rd lobe, see any benefit from using the first two lobes of the A2 INTAKE cam in thier A3 head? add to that the ability to adjust the vtec engagement point to anywhere along the powerband.

My guess is (if the lobes matched up at all) there could be a slight shift in the peak of the powerband but not a significant gain.

 

casting are very similar but PN's on the heads are different

cams will not mix, no matter how you dice it

 

it wont work! u are gonna fawk ur car up if u try, way different, wait for spoon!
