hey guys i was wondering how fast da type s ludes, are cuz i know they got like 220 horsepower, would it beat a type r integra. dat sucks if ur ludes had a 220 horspower engine omg i would feel much much betta, 20 more horse for me yeah, are the type s cams and stuff betta than aftermarket ones cuz i tihnk someone was selling type s cams
well. 20 horse. i don't think u really can feel. plus it's for such heavy car....i would say it's better than aftermarket cam. since it's make by Honda....so confidence buy....
Its actually only 220ps not hp. I also remember that the Type S cams do damage to the USDM H22 engines. Also I don't think that cams are the only things to contribute to the more hp over our US engines. Somebody please clarify.
i'm not sure as well. but i heard ppl only put the S cam in and just change the ECU. just courious. how can it possible damage the engine if with just the S cam?? can u explain more pls??
i don't think you can go as far to say that Type S cams would damage the engine, but having the Type S springs and retainers would definately improve the situation
i would say a type s can take on a ITR, it might be close, and once again it depends on the driver. basically the preludes torque would just do the pulling if they did race, but the itr's weight would make up for it. so IMO the type s would take it by a lil.
I remember that it was the rockers were damage when putting in the Type S cams. But then I have heard some people say there wasn't any problems. So I dunno.

i dont think its only the cams either... i also think its the intake and exhaust
it more then just cams. Its ECU, 11:1 compression ratio, better intake, header downpipe, different valve seat angle, Stiffer valve springs, and freer flowing muffler. Im pretty sure it has a LSD, but possibly better gears, someone correct me on this.

your dead on evreything besides the gearing.. did you mention the intake? anyways im not sure about you guys in so cali usta street race alot ( not anymore) and i never got whipped by type r's i think alot has to do with how you drive..there are people on this board that got into high 14's stock
Dan is mostly right. The Type S has ATTS, the S Spec has the LSD but both models have the slightly higher performance engine. The intake is better, there is some dispute of the intake manifold omitting the butterfly valves to make it a bit freer flowing. I've also read there's a slight port/polish job on the head. Throttle body is different too I think. Cams/pistons & higher compression ratio.
As for the Type S cams in USDM head debate. This has damaged some engines and others are fine. Personally I had my Type S cams put in around March. (Crowers weren't out yet otherwise I'd have bought Stage 2 w/ Valve train upgrades) I had Timing belt and auto tensioner replaced at the same time. (also had to replace my AEM cam gears, long story) I've put plenty of miles of hard driving on them since and had no problems. My Type S cams were used and the other owner had no problem with them either.
17 HP would not be very noticable, especially w/ the extra 95 lbs introduced with ATTS.
