Saw something by JUN in Option 2 magazine about 2 years ago, but haven't seen or heard anything since.

The only company to be actually selling quality internal parts for the K-series is TODA....they have EVERYTHING available already.

Hardcore stuff too like:

ITB's



Even VTEC killer cams

I have heard both good and bad things about the toda kit.

I was told by a very respectable company which I will not name that the Toda kit is to aggressive on your motor and will tear it up fast. This certain company had installed the complete Toda kit on its RSX-S for a major race. Well the motor ended up commiting suicide. When further checked on what the problem was, it was determined that the cams were the problem of it it all. So after hearing this, I have since decided to stay away from these till they get all the kinks work out of them.

The company I am currently looking into is the Hytech kit that will be available soon. The Toda kit has been claimed to give you around 220 whp, where as the hytech kit is reported to give you 270 whp, with another kit in the mix that will push you into the 300 whp all motor.

I don't mean to switch the original topic, but is the Hytech Kit going down in price? Last I heard it was in the 10k range . I've been following up on the Toda Kit for a few months but I haven't heard of any problems with it. Can you elaborate more on the issues?

The Toda kit is super mild man, what are you (or that company) talking about? It uses spec A cams which are Toda's mildest cam. That company is either full of ****, or don't know what they're doing, so they blame the product.

Fully thing with incompetent installers is they always blame the product. The Toda kit was designed for reliability and full out race, it's a mild kit for about $2,200.
Hytech makes more power, but it's $7,500! big difference in price, and there's not a single person running the Hytech kit. Do some looking around and you'll see lots of people running the Toda on their cars with no problems.

There are people running the Hytech Kit on thier TypeS. Toda kit for the price is not worth it imo. You can get damn close to 220fwhp with TypeR cams.

Well I would really like to tell you what company told me this, but I do not want to put this certain company on the spot. They have always gave me good quality parts, and great service. And yes if I was to tell you what company told me this you would take your comments back quickly.

Here was their situation.
They were planning to run in a road racing competition that was broadcasted on Speedvision. They planned to use the Toda kit in thier Race preped type S. Well they got the parts installed, and yes they "knew" what they were doing when they installed the items. Well race day came and the car was getting the final checks. Everything was fine and dandy. The event started and and the car was going good, then on the second or third lap the car died and they heard some weird noises.
The got the car towed back in and check it out. They found a dent in the valve cover. They removed the valve cover and found the two cams broke into 6 pieces. Motor was raped, and they were out of the competition. They informed Toda, and got no help what so ever on why his could have happend.
After this, this certain company went with the ITR cam set up with ITR flash and it produced the same hp as the Toda kit. Since they installed the kit they have had no problems what so ever with the car. This company warned me not to go with Toda.
Like I said, I have heard both good and bad things about Toda. So for the time being I will wait and see if Toda has to work out any more problems.

Mando,

My roommate knows one of the owners of Toda USA and I just got off the phone with. He told me there have been no breaks of their K-series cams and wants to know which shop is spreading the B.S. because it can constitute as Libel (slander).

I e-mailed him your post and he said and I quote "no one has ever broken our K-series cams, and we've never heard from anyone stating they have had issues with our K-series cams. Who ever is making claims they broke our camshafts, then called us about it and we did nothing, is a liar."

My advice is to call the shop out or tell them to set things straight with Toda USA before spreading such rumors.

I have a k20 on a EK and Hytech has two RSX...We are going to test all the new stuff that it going to be up and running soon....Ya 226 is nice but why not 300+whp


With the help of Hytech and LHP......

Like I said blade, I wish I could tell you the company that told me this but I do not want to get them into any trouble. I am just telling you guys what I was told about the Toda cams. I will call this company once again and inform them what Toda has told you. But like most companies, even if a mistake was made or something did happen to one of thier products they will cover it up. And yes I have seen and heard it happen before.

Like I will state once again, I am in no way trying to bash Toda. I am just stating what I was told from a certain company that ran their cams in thier S.

Kids.....

If anyone has any QC questions, I'd recommend you contact the OEM directly to avoid any misinformation.

Oh yeah, I'm sure they'll tell you about all the problems they've had with their own products.

When do you plan on having this kit completed and what do you think your price range will be?
