Default how you like them apples?

Hey, I am debating what to do with my car. You can see what I have done in my signature. Here is what I am thinking now after some consideration.

12:1 pistons
toda b's
type R spring set
cam gears
skunk2 IM
AEM Type R CAI
V-AFC

besides the fact that this will cost me a bloody fortune, what do you all think? Sound like a good set up? In what order should I do it? What kind of power should I be making with all of that? Thanks
Mac

I would get toda valve springs - a good Port & polish job would be beneficial - hope you got lotsa $$$$$$, power on a GSR - I say maybe 170 untuned - up to 190 tuned (maybe 200 with a good PnP) good luck

get the toda springs and some titanium retainers while you have all the valvetrain out. while your at it, might as well get some better intake valves like itr or ferrera.

Well to be honest....you should have bought a S2000 in the first place. Especially considering you are doing this to a fairly new GSR.

I think you may as well go Spec C toda cams with a full toda valvetrain setup.
Get a TODA chipped ECU so you do not have to dilly dally with VAFC tuning because you could really harm your motor if you do not understand what you are playing with.

or even better yet, go for a full hondata system and skip the CAI and VAFC.

I would stick to ITR cams. They are OE and no need to upgrade the valve springs or raise the redline so you will save lotsa cash! The dealer would never know you have ITR cams where you bring the car in for service or warranty issues.

Hmmm, could've been a plan... but then he would have lost the "good looks" of the g3s... the versitility of a hatchback, and he would have had to deal with a nasty piece of plastic for a rear window that would fade.

BUT... he would've gotten ONE kick *** motor, and one READY for the track car.

Integra with SpecCs... SICK DAILY
S2k... SICK FAIR WEATHER CAR

ITR cams, or Toda Spec A.

Perfect and reliable. No shitty idle. No map sensor lights. Awesome mid range.
No premature timing belt/valvetrain wear. No constant valve adjustments.
How can you go wrong?

Oh wait a minute.. am I trying to talk bad about Toda B cams at honda-tech.com?
****. I'm a black sheep here...

I'll leave you guys be.
