Yep, you will definitely notice a difference, especially once you have tuned it properly. What other mods do you have?
I'd go the CTR cams as they are more agressive than the ITR's.
i only have I/H/E... and bodgey too.. hahah the rest a suspension setup..
heard that tyhe oz ITR is same as the jap CTR cams... its only the older ITR ones which are less agressive or somthing like that..
The overrall gain is like 4 kw's or somehting i think i read on clubsi.... u reckon it is true?
if you can source the cam's at a good price then great, the only thing I would consider with more aggressive cams is duel springs to help protect your head, the other option is to look at custom ground cams or after market cams.
Of corse along with your new cams you will need a new ECU that allows you to control air fuel ratio / ignition and vtec cross over point as the whole dynamic way your engine works will change.

that is correct...even so the tuner will inevitably have an effect on the total behavious of the car...Quote:

i would recomend a set of TODA A's or even B's if you are really keen!
yeah i was planning for maybe spec a toda As so i could still keep my power ban under 8k rpms... and not rev it out beyond the lands of the 9 thousand....
proabably get valve springs from ITR or aftermarket ones.. probabaly not retainers too...
and for ecu.. probably get a JUN chip(untunable)...
see where life takes me..
good forum boys.. ill keep the posts running
I would HIGHLY recommend that you get TODA springs to match the A's or above spec cams...the TODA springs are stiffer than the DC2R ones...Quote:

Does anyone know if Civic Type R camshaft's & spring's would be suitable on a set-up that has no aftermarket programmable management (E.C.U), only a piggyback?
you could get away with a VTEC and fuel piggy...EG Apexi VAFC as far as i know they have the VAFC 2 out...Quote:

you'll definitely need to adjust your fuel management due to the increase in fuel and air demand with the new cams. if you can get a B16B head, then good luck, they are as rare as duck's nuts!
