ITRCA

i just was wondering what i should do to my R to pick up a few more horses.... i was thinking about the toda b cams, or somthing along that line but when it comes to all motor n/a applications im kinda in the dark could some one please help me? what to do???? what to do????

First, what do you have done already?
list
your
mods.

aem cai
apexi n1 cat back
test pipe
and thats about it motor wise. whats the verdict?

what is our budget?

moderate. just dont wanna go crazy on the money situation.... should i go with the toda spec b cams? what kind of power can i expect from them? ive heard all kinds of things.... also what about a set of cam gears and advance the timimg? ive always had a boosted car and i bought the r to auto x it but i m in the dark when it comes to n/a... so what ever you can tell me will help...

I would say for where you are at B's is jumping the gun. ALso I personally would avoid B's based on the timing belt issues. Get A's.

That being said $375 gets you a JDM header and $165 gets you the Carsound cat to go with it.

$300 gets you a VAFC.

Cam Gears - Toda $300 (I think), Skunk 2 $200 or less.

Tuning on the Dyno $125-$150 for an hour.

i have a vafc but i just havent hooked it up yet... also the reason i say spec b is b/c i have access to them really cheep...but how much of a diff is there between the two?

Personally I would just stick with the Stock Cams. I put a 2001 ITR intake cam in my 98 but I am not sure if it is worth it.

I would do the Header first. If you have the VAFC already spring for the Toda Header for $950 ish. THen tune. Will probably be looking at anywhere from 12-17 more whp and a good bit of tq.

thanks man, ill hook up the vafc tomorrow and you dont know where i can get a toda header from, i dont know any where that sells toda or even can get it. know any one with a used one b/c 950 is kinda high for it, iguess its worth it. but i was kinda worried about ground clearance... she's pretty low.. if not toda what else would u rec.???

for Toda try

http://www.jdmspecperf.com and tell Leo Trey sent ya or try http://www.ipsracing.com

The only 2 headers I considered were the OEM JDM 4-1 or the Toda. SMSP is also an option.

Stay away from DC stuff is ground clearance is a concern.

Be sure to schedule some dyno time once you get the VAFC in.

thanks man... i thinmk that once i put the vafc in ill go to Knowldge performance and get it tunned... thanks for all of your help! any thing elae i should do before i tune it?
fpr?

Everything Trey said I'll just nod my head in agreement.

Yup. If you go for the Toda B/C cams then you should probably get a Toda or SMS header. Tuning is defiantely key. I would take a step further than the VAFC and get a Hondata setup too.

Not sure where you are located but if it is anywhere near N ATL try going to Dynolab. THey come highly recommended by the other ATL ITR owners.
