We finally got the Skunk2 s2 cams installed and tuned in our 07 Si and we VERY happy with the results. The K20z3 engine is still stock but with Skunk2 springs, retainers, and stage 2 cams. This is on top of the I/H/E and Kpro we having already done to this car. Here is a teaser,

I cant post the full results until Skunk2 and one of the magazines sees them but I will post them as soon as I can. But I think you can get the point from the vid :vtec:

The key to making power with bigger cams in this car is in the tuning. You must have a way to tune the cam angles. Here are our last two threads if you havent seen them.

From what ive read, i would recommend that you guys should think about upgrading the stock tensioner to something from hybrid racing when it comes or something from toda.

We have Skunk2 cams in many cars and have never had a tensioner fail. From what we have found over the last few years of building and tuning the K series engines we think the problem is in the chain not the tensioner. The chains will stretch over time and even faster with big cams and heavy springs. I have seen timing chains stretch one whole link. We check and replace the chains all the time and it seems to work for us. Some people also had problems with the older version of the Skunk2 cams because the center line was off on the exhaust cam. Not everyone had a problem with it but Skunk2 went ahead and revised the cams anyway. The new version 3 cams have been out since spring dont have any issues or require an exhaust cam gear.
:eek:mg: That sound is just :SHOCKED: Screw the supercharger, daddy like!!!!! :love:

:clapping:
shiet dude how much for the cams? How much for ur kpro lol.
bump, just watched the vid... the car sounds like a NA should!
Oh and that was a fcuking teaser man... hurry and post up the numbers!
I guess you guys are getting feature?
so does this mean that there will be a k-pro wiring kit out soon, because now s2 is going to go around boasting about "blah blah blah our cams are great, but oh wait there is only one person in the world that can tune them and get our numbers."
Wow... imagine if there was a plug and play rsx-s ecu with kpro the potential... sick video

lmao, Im so sick of waiting for a decent plug and play that actually controls everything not just a piggy back. Im going to the Sema show in Nov im going to have a nice talk with hondata in person :p
Thanks for the positive feed back everyone. I will post the dyno sheet just as soon as I can but lets just say we got the power we were hoping for. Oh and that pull was in 4th gear by the way

We must give a big thanks to Tony S at Skunk2 for hooking us up with a great product yet again.

I really dont feel Hondata is at fault here, Honda is. Honda was the ones that thought it would be a good idea to go to a DBW and MAF along with the CAN system. Now that I have gotten to know these SIs better I can see why is taking Hondata so long and why it more than likely wont be "PnP" once/if it does come out. There are just so many problems to over come with the first and biggest ones being the DBW and the MAF. If they do stay with the DBW and MAF they will limit the potential for power and their market.
