why dont you try it first, and if it works, you can write a how to... If it ***** up your motor, shame on you for not searching....

try this...


google.com
yahoo.com
msn.com

I already tried all of that before asking and foud nothing,I do know what a search feature is for so if anyone else can help it would be greatly appreciated.
I found this on Hondata's site http://www.hondata.com/tuning_the_tsx.html

The two engines share an almost identical head design. Cams are interchangeable, so any Cam made for the K20 will fit the K24. Higher lift camshafts require better valve springs, retainers and spring seats.
Sorry so far this answer is as close to your question as I can find. I hope this leads you in the right direction.
It fits. But more power is a no until you can tune it.
Ok thanks alot that link helped alot maybe ill do a tsx intake and type r exhaust cam...:laughing: :laughing: thanks guys
the TSX cams are better than Type R cams ...

the good thing is if u make the swap u will make a lil more power even without a tune cuz the ecu will be able to compensate on it's own for the new cams...how much power is an unknown unless u do a baseline make the swap and dyno again.

for more good news the TSX cams will work with the hondata reflash and give u more power also.

and that info was relayed from a hondata worker....the part about the tsx being better than type r cams and that it will work with the current hondata reflash.

i've already considered doing the swap...but i have to go by my turbo setup first....initial test and make sure everything is ok with that and then upgrade things later...

you should go ahead and do it...

as i understand it's about 700 for the tsx cams...could be wrong here.

Sounds like a good way to make more power all motor......what happen with all jap Marvi......you getting it done?:thumb:
my kit will be on and completed before the 19th of august.
my car will be displayed at the car thing going on at Moroso on the 19th and 20th....they may run it...i'm not sure...their car will be there also.
will have my car back in my posession after and then the fun starts:)
i'm not going to be in town when they do the whole thing...going to NY..will be back on the 18th in time for the show.

don't know i'f they'll decal the hell out of my car for that ****!!!

before i leave however i'll be sure to give them some specific instructions about decals and whatever else they plan to do to my car for that show...

contact them...they might want more Si to ride up there
I forgot where, but I saw the profiles of both cams.. Type r and tsx STOCK cams.. As far as lift and duration goes, the intake type r cam is way more agressive than the tsx cam, but the exhaust cam is WAY more agressive than the type r cam. So for power, you would want typer intake and tsx exhaust cams.. Both cams can be used with stock valvetrain..

As far as price goes, noone will sell you single cams, they sell them in pairs. But I was able to get tsx cams for 150 or 120 for a set from members who just go with type-r cams and disregard the tsx cams.. And remmeber people, if its faster n/a, it will be faster on boost..

we have a unique cam setup that only the z3 has(can't remember if it's intake or exhaust)

and we share the same cams with the 04 RSX(can't remember if it's intake or exhaust)
