Yes you can use them.
Are you planning on using the vtec killers for daily driving?
I hope not..

I am thinking in doing it... Is it a no go?? I like the sound of them!! That will be the main reason I really want it!! lol

Well its really better for track.
It kind of defeats the idea of vtec by having the high and low cam lobes.
Not so great for a small capacity engine.Think of big v8's with lumpy idle.
You are running the big lobe constantly which would suck for a daily.
Also better suited with quad throttles.

Vtec killer cams are called that because they basically kill the vtec function, not killer as in OMG fully sick killa mate!

Only use them if you spend all your time driving above 4400-5800 rpm, on the street it will be a pig to drive.

What sorta cams should I be looking at? Or isn't it worth it the time and money?? Probably just do a turbo...??

[T-onedc2]

If you wanna improve bottom end and can put up with losing some response due to lag then go turbo, or otherwise supercharging. Forged pistons would be a good idea in this case.

best bang for buck... turbo. With less money youll beat like EVERY na car here

[theuan101]

Thanks for the info!! Clarified much for me!!

[IZY-10]

just go for toda spec b cams and quad throttle bodies

[destrukshn]

just go for toda spec b cams and quad throttle bodies
can get a decent turbo kit for that price.
lol

lol

yeah you could it depends what he is after though. I cant believe he wanted to run vtec killers as a daily lol that would be so funny:)

[EKVTIR-T]

Maybe he didn't realise what they were exactly.
We all gotta learn somehow...

What would be the problem with running vtec killer cams as a every day driver?? I just want to give my car more grunt... hehehe!! I love the vtec, and thought the vtec killers would be awesome! I know that getting power from a N/A is really expensive. I guess might stick to the basics I/H/E, ECU. There are so many other topics out there on performance!! Its so hard making a choice!!

[EKVTIR-T]

You wont have vtec if you install killers man.
Do you know how vtec works?in regards to the cam lobes?

Learn how vtec works and why,then you will understand the difference with vtec killers.They dont run the hi and low cam lobes,in other words disabling vtec.
You basically end up with a twin cam honda 4 cylinder with big racing camshafts and no vtec.
I'm too lazy to teach you the theories on big cams etc.lol

Heres a link I found for you regarding the vtec killers but you will need to understand vtec cams to get what they are talking about :)

Hey, I understand how vtec works. How it engages the hi cam lobes at a higher RPM, why would vtec killers be bad for every day driving? I guess the question is would they be worth it in the end of the day, money to performance? Or would it be better getting a turbo??

Cheers!!

Because using big cams like the vtec killers make a small 1.8litre 4 cylinder gutless under say 5-6000 rpm.
They are designed for racing where the revs stay high not stop start in traffic etc.

[Bludger]

because daily driving, you would most likely be in a low rpm range

and running big cam lobes in low rpm range would really suck, big time.

Why do we even bother

:s

hehehe!! Yeah, I just need someone to reason with me. I think I am going to have to do a lot more research on what I can do an what would be worth while! The best bang for buck! Thanks again for the help!!

On the topic, I am buying a Fujitsubo RM01a for my integra, what headers will be good? And what sorta cat should I be looking at? Then of course the tune as well!

Yeah true. I'll do some more research! Would the civic type r pistons be of any help with a turbo?? or just stock?

You really should search the forum man.These topic been covered alot.
But headers comes down to 4-1 or 4-2-1.They are the most common.
4-1 are said to give better high rpm power where as 4-2-1 will give a broad increase through the revs.

Ecu is a whole story in itself.For basic intake,header,catback a vafc or emanage are ok to dial in the fuel settings to suit the mods.
