Hello,
Question for the day...is anyone running a skunk2 turbo cam? I have an ap1 with 8.8:1 comp pistons....f22 crank....and a paxton supercharger running about 17lbs. I am having some trouble with the valves and it looks like its all going to need to be torn down, and i was thinking about throwing a set of cams in there while its all part...any input?

ask papa5murf...he knows all about CAMS

 

 

I don't think anyone has tried/installed these as of yet. I don't see much gain in them though. The NA cams do virtually nothing. So I figure the turbo cams will be comparable to the NA cams performance as a whole.

Even so, cams in general on the S will not be worth it. If you're turbo charged, you'll get plenty of power without the need of little extras such as this. It's not a B-series motor when you need to change everything to achieve high HP numbers.

 

Did some extra research.

Show's:
max power with the cams was 418
max power without the cams was 429

Here's a thread. http://www.s2ki.com/forums/ind...&st=0


Looks like complete utter failure with the cams.

 

Yuck, thats not exactly confidence inspiring! I have a set of them in my coupe (gsr) motor and they work great, but i guess different motor is a different story. One other question..not specifically related. Will turbo cams work well on supercharged motors? I would imagine the intake would be the same but on the exhaust cam (say you were to custom design your own cam) would you change things up?

 

I wouldn't even mess with cams on the S2000 to be honest. Honda did their research & development to the fullest of their abilities before releasing this car. There's not much improvement to be made anywhere without going to drastic measures.

 

Its the same with the skunk2 cams on the H22 with a turbo... weird
