I'm at a loss. I'm trying to figure out what cam's were in my GSR when I bought it, but they don't seem to match any of the pictures that I've seen.


I couldn't get my camera to focus because it was so close, this is the best one that I got.



Judging from this site, it almost appears to be a cross between a b17 and an ITR intake cam. http://www.ff-squad.com/tech/temp/VtecCams.htm

The kid that I bought the swap from said he thought it had CTR cams in it, but they don't look anything like CTR cams.


Thanks in advance.

 

They are for sure CTR, 1997 first gen.

I had the same problem as you, Till I measured the VTEC lobe and cross referenced it with the helms manual.

The pictures you found were the same as me...They only pictured 98 and up CTR and ITR cams....thats why they dont look exactly the same,But they are very similar...The 2 engraved rings on the 98+ are protruding rings on the 97.

100% Those ARE CTR cams.

 

Saaaweeet! Thanks.

Can anyone confirm? I probably should just mic them lol.

 

I just found another picture and it looks like they're 1996 GSR cams. Shucks.

def just look like gsr cams . i got a set laying on my dresser that look like yours but there just gsr's

 

if u confirm diff definatly let me know

 

CTR cams and 00-01 ITR cams have two extra lobes on the end of the cams...for sure those arent ctr or 00-01 itrs....

 

You need to measure the VTEC lobe...To be sure.

Thats kind of funny because I had a set of GSR cams and a set that was indentical to these ones laying next to each other and If I remember correctly the GSR cams only had 1 protruding ring.

All I know, is the only way to know for sure is to measure the lobs and cross reference them with CTR cam specs.

 

look like gsr cams

 

from what i found when i was looking is that 96+ gsr cams are different as far as the rings go then the 94-95 gsr cams and my gsr cams that came out of a bone stock gsr long block it was a 96 and they look like the ops but they dont look like 94-95 gsr cams that pictures ive seen
