i was wandering who made cams for the ep3 i think skunk 2 makes them but who else

 

skunk2 is developing them...no one else because the head of the a3 isn't the best for an N/A application when compared to the a2 or a head.

 

As Kal said Skunk2 should have some out pretty soon, althought I'm curious to see how high they go (I.e: Stage 1, 2 or 3?). Like I've said before you may want to give them a call, as they usually don't list all their products on the official website.

 

do u guys think it would be better to get a head swap instead

Yes. Then you can either go with OEM ITR cams or Skunk2 / Toda's.

 

only thing with the headswap is ur gonna be making power in a different part of the rpm range....and with the si 5 speed not gonna be making use of the power....so what im getting at a headswap is not the most economical way of making u go faster...yes more power is good but if u can use it why bother...and 2 the a3 bottom end just isnt great as most know. So if u want to upgrade the head great but then u have a great head that can rev to 8k but a bottom end that could take a ****.... Probably wont but could....so u may want to just get the cams which will keep ur powerband where u want it....upgrade ur springs and retainers....get the hondata k pro or something to that effect and stick with the 5 speed.....or get the whole typeS motor/6 speed and be done with it then get cams and everything for that...but its ur money so use it wisely plan ahead wish i did a long time ago....starting to do things right the first time makes it alot less stressful in the end even if it takes longer you'll be happier with the results

thanks guys i really apreciate it

 

Also if you don't feel like swapping the whole head, cams are a good idea, althought it's not a whole lot more work to do the full head. JDMB16A makes a very good point to consider aswell.

 

it would be useless to swap cams since a3's only have the intake cam doing any sort of phasing.

 

hes not talking about cams from an k20a or a2 hes talking about aftermarket cams and using aftermarket cams would be benifactual....id be like putting cams on any other car they are made specific for that engine and u can upgrade the springs and retainers using parts for the k20a or s2k from what ive seen
