Does any company make cams for the EP3 yet?

 

i heard something about skunk2 trying to release some over the summer. then again, they've been saying that for a while now. who knows...

 

skunk2 prelude IM was supposed to be out last summer and it's still not out

Would Type-R cams work? If not, why? Been wondering about this myself.

You need to switch to the Type S or Type R head for those cams to work.

This is also related to why you don't see cams coming out for the A3. Everybody's switching to the A2 heads and using cams designed for the i-VTEC systems on the Type S and Type R.

We could argue for a while about whether you'll like cams designed for the A3 or the A2 better, but since most of the upgrading seems to involve switching the heads you might as well be thinking in those terms.

IMHO, of course.

set of new cams=800-1000
typeS head=$$$
typeR head=$$$$$!!!!

unless you know of a magical place where i can get a typeS or typeR head for cheap???

 

there's only a limit on how much cams will help the poorly designed a3 head

 

well in any case those cams willl probably help just as much as a pricey head swap

 

you can pick up a S head for the price of a set of cams (other than type R)

 

trade in your car for an S. It will save you money in the long run and give you higher potential for power

 

if the ep3 has vtc then what advatages would a set of aftermarket cams have, if their is an advantage in them i doubt youll see them soon cause of the different chain driven cams on the kseries instead of the belt driven ones on the older motors

Well, I can see how someone would design cams for the A3, but it would make for loping idle and bad fuel economy.

I really think that cams designed for the A2 head would be a better relative investment.
