From searching first I came across a few threads concerning the authenticity of CTR/ITR cams, and basically there was no outcome, or definite way to tell from what I saw. I am in the market for CTR cams, and would really like to know what to look at to tell if they are authentic are not.

anyone?

 

On the intake cam, the end that has the distributor slot end will have two rings in the end around the camshaft

so will the '00 and up itr, they have the same specs. i bought some '96 spec itr cams (they have one ring on the dist side) and then i took my gsr cams out and they had one ring to, then i took my other motor apart jdm sir-g and they had one ring to. i thought gsrs were suposed to have no rings but i dunno

 

In this picture it looks like 3 rings for the CTR.

 

Now are these real CTR cams?

Ok here is my Question. How do you know which Cam is the Intake side from the Exhaust side?

 

intake cam has a slot like these shown for the dizzy.

 

and remember the 01 ITR cams are the same as the CTR but physically different around the grooves.

 

Thanks alot for the info. i just recieved my 00 ITR cams today and wasnt sure on which one was which.

the only honda cam you can identify is a ctr and itr intake cam which has 2 slots on it
the ctr/ itr exhaust cam has 1 slot but so does sir2 cams
and gsr and sir1 b16 cams have no slots and also can not be identifyed from each other by the naked eye

 

man i may have been fucked......i am the 3rd owner of these "CTR cams" and well they have no slots...but the vtec lobe....is HUGE....i dunno what to think now...

 

maybe there after market cams...?


obx, buddy club. crowers, todas... i dunno look into sum after market cams and see if u can find similar looks and specs..


good luck mate

 

that may be it......the last motor they where in.....the valves hit the pistons, and obliterrated, the LMA, i dunno.....they could be aftermarker...or someone got fucked on this deal
