    Default H22 Type S Cams in Jdm H22a?

    My friend is selling OEM Type S Cam,Cam Gear,Valve,Spring, and Retainers for fairly cheap to me. Wondering if this will be a Direct Fitment.

    search HT for the thread just type in h22 cams


    i will get it for you if you fail to find it.

    what the FVCK are you talking about. OEM type S cams, cam gears, valves, valve springs, and retainers will drop right in to any H22A. How will it "mess up" his valve train? He will be replacing the whole valve train minus the followers... What the fvck are you talking about upgrading to OEM???? That's what he's doing, upgrading to the jdm OEM type S setup. But how would I know?? I've only had three built H22A's, one being a jdm Type S. All of mine had jdm type S cams.

    You are an idiot.

    i just reread the first post and i saw he's buying it all, i thought it was just the cams

    it drops in but causes more premature wear on your valvetrain then some non-OEM cams. it will run and work fine with the stock valve train but its not a good idea!

    i know type-s cams are OEM but they came with a diff spec valve train. for best performance and reliablity you need all the parts you listed. once you get that you are good to go

    the jdm type S valve train is the exact same as the usdm H22A except for the valve springs. Everything else is the same. It will work fine with the stock valve train. The only reason to upgrade would be if he was planning on raising the rev limiter. The jdm type S has the same redline as the usdm H22A. Even is he was just swapping to the H22A type S cams he would be fine using the rest of his stock valvetrain as long as he did not over-rev the engine.

    I ran jdm type S cams on a H22A4 for like 55k miles, and the valvetrain was in perfect condition. The head was completely stock except for the type S cams. The bottom end of the engine failed, but the top end was in excellent condition, so good that I bought a shortblock and reused the same head. Later I ended up getting a jdm type S engine, and never had any problems out of it either.

    You will be able to rev a little higher, but I wouldn't go over 8300rpm. There's really no reason to. My bottom end failed due partially to the fact that I revved the engine to 8500+rpm a few times, and the oem main bearings couldn't take it. I spun a main bearing and ruined the crank.

    After you swap the cams, I would recommend a Euro R intake manifold, a good header, chipped ecu and tune.

    I don't th ink it's even worth it to buy those. JDM H22 is 210hp. USDM is lessen.

    Only good OEM cam is the Euro R.

    Otherwise, save the $$ for aftermarket.

    again, another idiot who doesn't know what they are talking about. The jdm type s makes 220hp, same as the euro R. The type S cams have a higher lift and duration than the usdm cams. The jdm H22A is 200hp just like the USDM. The Type S and Euro R are 220hp. The only difference between the two is the intake manifold on the euro R, and the ecu on the type S.

    lift (in millimeters) for the type S cams is 11.91/11.12. Lift for oem H22A cams is 11.38/10.54.

    oh ok. i heard good stories bout those euro manifolds. i will think bout that after i get the cams in and stuff tho. i have a greddy 2.5'' collector header right now and a chipped ecu with data something forgot lol from scotty already. so yeah most likely after the cams, i will get it tuned and save up for the intake manifold. and call it finish for my DD.

    This A good thread because ive heard something about the premature wear with type s cams in a usdm h22 not sure about jdm.. good thread because ive built 3 h22s so far and most def heard something about that!! Euro R intake mani would be great but there is modification! you will make over 200 wit this set up!!

    yeah but make sure you realize that type s h22 make that power cuz of pistons! big cams like big compression

    Dont forget h22 stock throttle body and intake mani diameter is 60mm. if you can bore it to like 62-64mm that will be perfect!! with those cams and pistons will wake that motor up! remember too much bore on h22 will effect the volumetric efficiency of the head causing it harder to make power..

    well I'm telling you from my personal experience, the type S cams alone will make a noticeable gain in power. The pistons in a JDM H22A type S have 11/0:1C/R, the base JDM H22A have 10.6:1 C/R, and the USDM H22A has 10.0:1.

    Upgrading pistons is not an easy thing to do in a H22A since it has FRM sleeves and can't be bored and in most cases can't be honed. You pretty much have to resleeve the engine, or hope that your cylinders are in good enough condition that you can do a very light hone and run standard sized type S pistons.

    i tried to edit that because you are rite but ive seen those cams installed rite and it looked funny! weird o well i would skunk pro 1! bad ass cams, no valve train upgrade! best results for the money!

    yea when I was building my H22A's there the PRO1's weren't even out yet. If money was not a factor, I would use the pro1's, but the OP says he is getting these type S cams for a good deal. I would also always upgrade the valvesprings when upgrading cams. Stock valvesprings have been known to bind up with lift as high as the pro1's.

    yes fiber reinforced matrix sleeves are a pain but the strongest for NA application.. someone with skill (GOOD SKILL) can hone a h22. only company that i know of is mahle that has pistons that mate with frm!

    yea mahle pistons are coated. The reason FRM sleeves are hard to hone is because on top of the fiber material there is a coat of chromoly steel. Thats what the piston rings contact. The FRM itself is too soft. If you hone the chromoly too thin it will wear though to the FRM material and your engine will have massive amounts of blow-by and will lose compression very quickly.

    Bind at 8200!! h22 got big displacment!! thats why they stop makin power at 7600! stay under 8 and stock valvetrain is fine!! if you bread to go ahead and upgrade!!

    I've been running "drop in" type S cams for around 60k mi now with completely stock valve train, and no problem so far. I have a 5th gen.

    I picked up somewhere around 10hp or so. This was like 4 or 5 years ago now so It's getting a little hard to remember which parts added how much power since I swapped parts so much...

    ok i just bought the Cams,Cam Gears,Retainers, Valves, and springs for 100$$ . I color coated just incase it gets mixed up. one color for intake one color for exhaust. i'll install these probably in a month.
