Do DC5 cams fit on a FG2????

I have a question does anyone know if the dc5 type-R cams will fit on our fg2 heads???? I know that the 05-06 Rsx type-s bring those cams and I was wondering if that would be a possiable upgrade to our cams, being that they claim more power on the rsx type s then on the si............

I believe they can be swapped ,but your better off going with the type-s Intake cam and the TSX exhaust cam.....the heads are very similar though...I thought they were the same both K24 heads on our Z motors...I dunno guess not:thumb: :wavey:

is there a reason that the tsx cam would be better for the SI, then the Type-R would be? i know that upgrading your cams your stock cams to type-r cams in a b-series made a huge difference i just thought the might be the same case...

The TSX cams are larger than both RSX and ITR cams. The secondary lobe on the exhaust cam is also larger. = Better low end torque which is ideal for an N/A setup. Not so much for an F/I setup.

i beg to differ ive run its cams on a forced induced k20 motor before and trust me it does benefit from from the additional air flow esspecially in the midrange. the turbo responds much better under partial to full throttle as far as spool time goes. where it does make a difference is up top mostly for turbocharged setups

typo i didnt mean its or ips that needs to be omitted. i was speaking specifically about oem style camshafts be it tsx or itr. you'd be amazed at the results that can be had from oem cams on a boosted application vs. aftermarket not that aftermarket cams arent beneficial but not everyone has the finances for 800.00-1200.00 for cams. not to mention the inability to tune high profile cam lobes at the moment on the SI ecu
