Has anyone used (or even thought of using) the JDM Civic Type-R (EK9)cams on an ITR B18C5?

Any comparisions?

Correct me if I'm wrong, though 2000-2001 ITR cams are identical to the CTR's I beleive so there wouldn't be any reason to change them..

a better question might be, "is it really worth buying 00-01 ITR cams if you are currently running the 97-98 cams? Is there a noticable difference between the older year cams vs. the newer years?"

I'll see if I can set this straight. CTR is still slightly but not noticably more agressive than a 2000/2001 ITR cam. If you have a 2000/2001 don't bother it isn't worth it.

Now, I have a 1998 Type-R and I did put in a new 2001 Intake cam and it made about 5-6 whp. I list a range to take into consideration error. I paid $290 for my brand new intake cam and I sold my old 98 intake cam for $200 so I picked up a lot of power for $90.

THis is not a bad option for 97/98 owners wanting to stick with stock camsl. I would say but whatever is cheaper between the 200/2001 ITR cam and a CTR cam. It doesn't really matter.

what about ctr cams or 00-01 itr cams in a gsr? Noticable? Or better off getting skunk2 or toda b's? Best bang for the buck question.

Depends on your goals. skunk2 and toda cams are very nice, but do cost a bit more especially when you buy used 00-01 ITR cams from people who are running toda, jun, skunk2, etc now.

So, for best bang for the buck, I'd say 00-01 ITR cams. And you can make some nice power with OEM cams, but I do like the big non-vtec lobes on the toda b/c :P

stupid n00b question: what if you only ran a TODA Spec A on the intake side...wouldnt that be a bit better than just going with a CTR cam?
