ok im not trying to strat another"omg whats vtec feel like" but i wanna know some results of oem itr cams in a gsr .....im mostly concerned about the low to mid range differences....becasue we all know vtec is like sex with a great women


Edit: and if its been asked before ,sorry , i couldnt find it

 

its not a night and day difference with just dropping itr/ctr cams into a gsr. The only thing I noticed was that my motor was slightly louder and it pulled a little harder in the high end. No crazy vtec popping 3rd gear jdm all motor turbo here....with that modification.

 

im plannin on doin the same thing (i want a mild n/a build)
itr cams, itr valve springs, simple bolt ons

 

You're going to need the ITR head, intake mani, and possibly block, to take full advantage of the ITR cams.. IMHO
I would not excpect much or any power gains just from the cam.

 

It's been said and is a known fact that ITR cams will net you several HP over stock GSR cams and you gain power all over the powerband.

You need an IM/I/H/E and most importantly tuning, to feel the difference.

I'm doing this myself in another month or so...I'll be dynoed' and tuned. I'll letcha know

 

that would be great i wanna know what to expect!!

Dyno plots prove that just adding the ITR (p/n 14111-P73-J00, USDM 97-98 ITR) intake cam to a GSR will provide about 11 WHP untuned. (You can ask for the plots, but dynocenter.com has been defunct for years). This particular setup also led to a torque hole from 4400 to about 4800 RPM because the VTEC engaged too early. My personal experience confirms this.

BTW: the ITR and GSR share the same block.

 

Good info, so with the correct VTEC engagement point and a quick tune for the added flow, you may see some decent gains.
I always thought the TypeR block had different pistons, but maybe its in the head design.

A block is different from a short block. The GSR and ITR have the same block. The pistons and crankshaft, which are included in the short block, are different. The 00-01 ITR and the CTR cams are a little more aggressive than the 97-98 ITR cams.

 

Ahh, I see, same bare block, dif pistons and crank.
I meant "short block" above.
Good info
