Heres the webpage of what they look like. I got them from Ebay from somebody w/ 99% seller rate. http://hometown.aol.com/vtecnit01/index.html these are the pics of the cams. Here the link to the ebay auction. I really think there gsr cams b/c there's no grooves on the distributor side of the cams. Thanks for you help

do they have to have the grooves...........?

 

not at all as you can see in the pics that's Y i think there gs-r or b16a

 

only way is to measure lobes, and or use a Dial indicator to measure vavle lift when installed.

 

if there are no grooves they are not TR. why did you buy them if they didn't have the grooves?

 

The boxes are the right part numbers

b/c you couldn't see the pic but the part number are itrs

 

those seller's pictures totally SUCK (blurrrrry)......got damn it.... why don't people use the freakin MACRO button when taking close-up pics??!?!?

it's boggled my mind for quite sometime now..

I'd give you some input, but the owner's pictures suck too bad. I can't really tell wuts up with those cams...

although my tech pics are rather nice eh? haha...

...here's an updated pic of a CTR intake cam:




89-91 b16a cams:



....isn't the macro setting uber cool?

 

yo those are phat pics Katman now I can totally see that dshish2002@yahoo.com is a poser even though he has high feedback. thanks Kat

 

and what if they are the 97-98 ITR cams? would they have those groves as well?

Yes there is a single groove at base of cam on dizzy side of intake cam.

 

thanks, and what if they are the 96 JDM spec itr cams? anyone know about those?

 

I had a 97 JDM ITR motor and changed the cams , well I noticed no grooves . The only way you will tell is to mic the cams . You probably have old JDM ITR cams which means the intake has 3 deg. less duration .

 

thats what i thought and thats why i asked the questions i did

 

hope u didn't get ripped off...that sucks

http://hometown.aol.com/vtecnit01/index.html-- Look at the pics at the bottom of this website, the cam on the left is marked (95-00 JDM ITR; USDM 97-99). There is a groove at the base of the dizzy connection.

 

hopefully you didnt get ripped off but if you do, how did you pay?

if by credit card then contact the cradiet card company.

JDM 95-98 & US 97-98 ITR cam markings are seen in the very first image in this diagram (single engraved ring w/2 protruding outter edged rings):
(i need to update the dates on this diagram, there were no 99 US ITR's)




...it could be a little tricky with the single engraved ring'd cams, cuz there are other non-Type R cams that have singled engraved rings too, as seen here on this B17A int.cam:


...in this case, you want to keep an eye on the bigger ring's markings, as stated in my image.

 

thank you

tgo put them in and see when you feel vtec start to pull and fell aorund 7800 and feel for it...if they pull harder then they are. You can easily tell your using ITrs of GSR or B16A2 cams.

Much better idea than all that factually correct, well researched, fully illustrated bullshit katman was spouting.

yeah...if you can't tell visually which cams you have after looking @ them in the pictures...why not bolt em in your car and use the butt dyno to decide whether you have itr/ctr/gsr/b16 1st gen cams.. :rollseyes:

Or instead of wasting your time to put in non-TR cams. YOU can tell by matching them to Katmans pics!
