2.0L Skunk2 cams

[a c i d.f l y]

So apparently this exists. Not sure how long it has been around. A bit outside my budget at the moment, but certainly interesting. Only 1 available? Hmmm.

They also have the cam nipples.

If an ambitious 2.0 owner would like to try these out, we could save them a fair bit of money off the advertised price.

It will be interesting to see how many serious 2.0 builds we see over the years.

HMMM. Dammit, don't goad me like that...

probably zero.....lol

Not enough serious people. Would be nice to see the potential of the engine.

I plan to gut the internals... After my extended warranty has expired.

@a c i d.f l y What exactly are cam nipples and what do they do? Do our stock cams have them?

They're what the ends of the cam rests against, and yes.

would be nice to see one of a kind build with the K20 from this gen with its full power

So far I have installed the K&N intake, which I feel is designed better than anything else I've seen, performs well, and sounds great; Ktuner mod which amplified the murderous growl of the K20; the downpipe accentuated all of the above. I'm still on a CVT, but I've got some torque headroom.

Future plans include the following:
2.5", dual exit exhaust
Cams
Throttle body
Throttle body bypass
Throttle body spacer
Intake manifold (if one is discovered to fit, or designed)
Titanium rockers, springs, sleeves
Fuel pump
Injectors
Etc etc

@a c i d.f l y How is the daily driveability of your car? I've been thinking about getting the intake + downpipe + ktuner but I need this car to be dependable.

The downpipe flags check engine light occasionally, but that can be turned off with Ktuner (doesn't affect performance, it's just a nuisance light, and doesn't affect any other sensors). Otherwise, if you like a little extra growl out of your car, massive improvement of high end, moderate improvement over the entire power band, not a bad deal. The two bolt on options have been run by other cars for a couple years. I've had the intake for 9 months, tune for a few months, downpipe for a couple days; a guy in the downpipe thread has had his installed for over a year. No issues.

It would have to be a serious build to run those cams. They look like a 10K + cam.

We've run 14.5mm lift stuff before, but that gets tight on k20/k24 combos, I can't imagine how tight the clearance would be with 16.2mm.

You'd have to lock out VTEC and VTC to prevent things from getting cozy with each other.

These cams won't even idle on anything less than a 2.6L block. Which isn't even possible with the K20C since there are no stroker kits available and K24W blocks won't fit.

Maybe a very thick deck plate and some really long rods might do the trick lol.

Have you done the throttle spacer & bypass, if so any input ?
