SHO is down for 10 days, and I go and mod the hell out of my Si!!!! - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

Johnny Tran · 03-29-2003, 02:24 PM

Well i went for another drive in Erics ITR powered Si, and I just had to have something to make me go faster, and get a taste of what 9000RPM feels like!!!

So I went and did some damage to the credit card!!!

Skunk2 Stage 1 cams
Skunk2 cam gears
Skunk2 valve train

All of this will be here mid next week, and will be installed April 17th!!!

I can't wait

With CTR cams you will be more then fine with ITR valve springs, and your stock retainers. The b16a retainers, and ITR retainers are the EXACT same!!! There really is no need for the skunk2 valve train with the CTR cams, because they don't make power past 8400RPM so its pointless to rev any higher...

Well we just did a valve adj on his b18c5, and that went really well!!!

Also our friend who is helping us do it is an expert. He did all of Erics Toda cam/valve train installs.

As far as tuning goes, the guy whos installing the cams with us has a brother who is one of the best tuners in the area, and has a dyno at his shop.

Right now he is working on an 02 Si with a new CRV block (2.4 L), with a k20 head :eek:

Oh I will, we'll be sure to take tons of pictures, and vids

Were also going to the track shortly after the dyno, so it'll be a good next couple of months
