o really, hmm what about the tsx 06 cams?
where those the ones that changed?
Yes, the 06 TSX ones are different. So if you want to try those, make sure you get 06 TSX, not AUDM or JDM 06.
Most of the additional power for the TSX06 comes from the larger inlet ports, larger throttle body, larger exhaust and high flow cat though. If you change just the cams alone, you won't get the same as what an 06 TSX does.
shit man whens all this getting installed and dynoed!?!?

the head is still over in the USA... ive got a business "looking at it" lol
hopefully i should get it back in 2-3weeks... then ive got to get a custom 3" intake (CAI or SRI) made up for it... then im taking the car around to my friends workshop... im doing all the larborous tasks, and he's gonna do the harder parts, like valve clearance/blue printing/compression testing/P2V clearance...
should only take 2-3 days to complete the install, including port matching and polish (DIY) on my RBC manifold to the J32A3 throttle body...
then after its been broken in for a few days (let the ecu try relearn everything) ill take it around to a shop to be dynoed... im gonna take it to the same two places ive been before so i can get a rough comparison...
**** dude i wonder how this will compare to gains from extreme package of jtune (if it ever gets made lol) how much will all this cost u all up roughly?

im already putting out very similar power to jtune extreme...
jtune say i stock euro puts out approx 125kw, and now make 158kw..
thats a gain of approx 33kw
the dyno i used says a stock euro puts out approx 102kw, i now make 133kw...
thats a gain of approx 31kw
keep in mind i still have stock exhaust (cat back) and NO ecu tuning...
jtune package does seem to be better because of the flatter power band, and increase in torque... however, is it really worth having a loud obnoxious exhaust that vibrates and overheats for that extra torque?
so yes, once ive done all this i can easily see my car putting out well more than jtune extreme package... i dont wanna put a figure on it yet, as i have no idea how the ecu will cope with the dramatic flow changes...
^^ but, 102kW was not your Euro. There is quite a big difference across the dyno results of stock Euros. You might have a good condition engine that puts out much more than 102kW when stock

true... all i was trying to point out was... im nearly 100% sue that after this ill be putting down alot more power than the jtune package... without the loud annoying exhaust problems...

Maybe you are making close to the same peak power - but how relevant is peak power in day to day driving? What you get with the Jtune extreme is huge torque improvement right across the rev range as well as massive increases in power from 4000rpm onwards.
Anyway, my point is - be careful about focussing too much on peak power comparisons. With a custom tune you can work on making improvements across the rev range. At the moment you have no tune - so comparing your car to jtune extreme is somewhat premature.
