CTR ITR Cams... are these Legit?

[Papa_Smurf]

Well, i saw these on ebay and I couldn't help to wonder if they are real ITR cams because they went for around $150.... i've seen them go for like $280 USED, and these and brand spanging new...... just seemed too good to be true.



So you tell me. Too good to be true, or hell of a deal? and dont just say one or the other, explain youself! :goodjob:

[xbn83]

No, they are aftermarket with similar specs.

[Papa_Smurf]

how can you tell?

It says in the box FROM HONDA in the title, so how could they be aftermarket...?

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

Fake. No way BRAND NEW ITR Cams go for $150. Think about it. You say USED ones go for $280, now why would someone sell some BRAND NEW ones under the price of the USED ones?

Don't get ripped off.

[Papa_Smurf]

besides the price, how can you tell they're fake....?

like, you look @ the pictures and they look just like real ITR cams...

[Papa_Smurf]

[IDriveToast]

Fake.

[allmotoronly]

unless you see the part number stamped on the camshafts or printed on the box I would not believe it.

[Kyle]

It says ITR on the box, they must be legit.

[xbn83]

I don't understand why the guy even took a pic of the end of 2 boxes with handwritten "ITR" on them. It proves nothing! It is like I buy a knock off clutch and put in a blank box, and write Exedy outside. What is he trying to say? Everybody could do that. ITR outside the box means nothing.

[Black4DrEK]

fake

from the end of the cams, it's real, after all, buy it now was 350, he probably goofed by starting at a low bid, without putting a reserve, but i know. they are real deal.

thats what i'm hoping... but idk man, he had then up for sale 2 times before, 500 buy it now, and 400 buy it now...

and then he put it for $350 buy it now for this auction, but starting bid was $100.... just seems weird that only 3 people will bid on them...

well, w/e. my dad bought them, so i guess we'll see if they're real or not, lol. He has nothing but posotive feedback, so i dont think he would try to scam anyone.

sounds good, so you ended up winning them?

[Papa_Smurf]

yea, got em for my dad's B16.

So i guess in a week or two i'll know for sure if they're real ITR's or fake.

[speedminded]

yea, got em for my dad's B16.

So i guess in a week or two i'll know for sure if they're real ITR's or fake.It say's:

Camshafts Measured at 1mm of lift:
Integra Type-R (Integra Type R 2000/01 Spec)
Int-243 dur. / 11.5mm lift
Exh-235 dur. / 10.5mm lift

Intake part# - 14111-P73-000

Exhaust part# - 14121-073-J00

Get them, take pics and measure the them...if they're not to spec send them back. :2cents:

[Papa_Smurf]

yea, thats what we went off of. the description. and he said they are brand new from honda, which means they cant be any aftermarket shit, or he's full of shit.

and he's got like 98% feedback, so that means he's trustworthy.

just be careful because I have seen ppl buy cams on ebay(i.e. OBX) and they eat your valvetrain for lunch after 3k or so....

[tippatone]

u get what u pay for

[jackdaripper]

Like who? I always hear this and I have never met one person that has had this happen to them, I have put these cams in 2 motors and both made great power and have been running for over 2 years.

[Papa_Smurf]

but these are supposed to be real ITR cams....and if they are then they wolnt hurt anything. if they're not, then he sold me the wrong shit.

[Papa_Smurf]

FUCK FUCK....

got this e-mail from the guy a few days after the auction...

"Sorry, my trip got extended, I got back this morning, went to the vets to pick up my dog and while I was in the vets my car got broken into. I knew I should have gone to the shipping place first, I had the cams on the front seat. I'm so sorry, my insurance said they wouldn't cover it, because they weren't attahced to my vehicle, I will be refunding your money. I'm so sorry! If I get any more in I will contact you and honor the price. Thank you for your understanding. "

either thats a crock of shit or just bad luck
