Type R cams vs. GS-R cams
I am thinkin of buyin a delsol monday w/ a 01 GS-R swap in it, i am thinking about putting a set of ITR cams in it, I was sondering if anone knew the diff in the the sets of cams, would it be a noticable diff, or not worth my trouble, allso how about the injectors would they be worth switching gsr for type r or is there any diff there either???[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
This is what I know about the Type R camshafts improvement over the GS-R's through an article by Carboy:
The camshaft lift amount was changed for both intake and exhaust valves. The intake lift was increased from 10.6mm to 11.5mm, and the exhaust lift was increased from 9.4mm to 10.5mm. To compensate, the intake opening timing was increased from 10 to 15 degrees before piston apex, and closing timing was increased from 40 to 45 degrees after the piston reaching base. Likewise, the exhaust opening timing was increased from 40 to 45 degrees before the piston reaching base, and the closing timing was increased from 7 to 10 degrees after piston apex. By doing so, the valves remain open longer -- allowing for more air to enter the combustion chamber.
