K-SERIES DROP-IN CAMS VS SKUNK2 RACING ULTRA 1 CAM TEST! - SKUNK2, TDi NORTH, DRAG CARTEL, DC5 JDM!

[@akramdastager45]

Please do a stage 2 cam comparison between the Skunk 2, drag cartel 2.2 and brian crower stage 2.

[@Skunk2Racing]

Lookin' good fellas! Solid videography and great data comparisons.

[@tegiwa]

Big thanks to yourselves for enabling us to conduct this test!

[@akramdastager45]

I currently have Skunk 2 dic on my fn2 type r. I would like to purchase the Skunk 2 ultra 1 cams. Does the Skunk 2 ultra 1 cam work well with stock compression. Any advise will be appreciated for me to make my choice to keep dic or purchase the Skunk 2 ultra 1.

[@akramdastager45]

Could please Skunk or Tegiwa reply to me with the max vtc and the vtec position for the Skunk 2 ultra 1 cams.

[@jakereagan5805]

Contact them direct

[@funkyd04]

Would be nice to see a graph overlaying the curves so we can see where each cam makes more sense

[@matthewmccullen3317]

Great video yet again guys👊

[@the_JDM_fanatic]

Got my dc5 type R with itbs on it now, saving up for some dic’s or some cams, would love to see the power gains . Nice one Tegiwa!!! I order all my stuff from you guys for the dc5 , much love from Johannesburg, South Africa 🇿🇦

[@akramdastager45]

Are you gonna go for the Skunk 2 dic or the Skunk 2 ultra 1?

[@the_JDM_fanatic]

@@akramdastager45 dude to be honest I’m not really sure… someone I know says he has skunk ultra 2s with retainers and valve springs, that would be the best as the car already has itbs so that’ll definitely help the car breathe a lot better , but then again it all depends on the amount these things cost

[@akramdastager45]

@@the_JDM_fanatic hi Tony, the Skunk2 ultra 2 might be too big for a k20 setup.

[@the_JDM_fanatic]

@@akramdastager45 I haven't bought anything as yet, I've got the Rev kit, still deciding on the cam setup to go with... I do have itbs on the car so I'm not sure which to go with... I definitely know that I don't want DIC as it is a little too mild esp for the money, rather get something more aggressive also I'm running a e30 fuel setup with evo 6 injectors

[@akramdastager45]

@@the_JDM_fanatic I think you should go for the Skunk2 tuner 1 or the Skunk2 ultra 1.

[@akramdastager45]

What will be the max vtc on the skunk2 ultra 1 cams for a frank setup , k20 head on a k24 block

[@akramdastager45]

Please do a comparison between the drag cartel dic vs drag cartel 2.2 cams. This will be very helpful to see the difference in power and torque at each rpm by going stage 2 instead of dic and is it worth the extra money because with stage 2 cams we have to upgrade the valve train.

[@Fabbro3536]

Skunk2 dic or ultra 1 for my K24 10.5 CR compression car, which would be more efficient? My car is not a k20 11 cr like your test car.

[@pacific7775]

Boy those skunk 2 ultra1 cams would make my k24a2 really come on ... But $1300 us into my canadian dollars $1621 plus tax and shipping would be $$1800 canadian ...makes me think a dry nitrous kit may be better for my poor man budget ..a 50hp shot would put me a bit above the cams .. Great video fellas look forward to more ...

[@jeromeawake3283]

No need for the skunk2 cams if the costs affect u too much. On the K24A and A2 drop in 2001/2003 K20A2 intake cam and the 2006/2008 TSX exhaust cam. Great powerband vtec at 5400 rev out at 8600. (with oil pump conversion ofcourse)

[@jeromeawake3283]

And a 50Degree vtc gear.

[@the_JDM_fanatic]

Do you have to degree the motor for these cams? The exhaust camshaft centreline? I bought tuner 2s for my k20 and the power feels like it's dropped even though the number is higher on the dyno at the top

Exactly!

What is the max vtc to run these camshafts(Skunk2 ultra 1) on a stock k20z4 block?

[@joshwattonS2000]

So when changing the springs and retainers, you don’t need to remove the crank and timing chain? Did you just release the tensioner?

[@tegiwa]

The springs and retainers were changed alongside the camshaft when we conducted this test. In regards to the tensioner, drop us an email or call us and we'll do our best to assist you. Email: [e-mail] // 01782 33 44 40 Thanks.

How is the skunk2 ultra 1 cams on a k24 engine

[@japjoem4077]

Aren't the stock steal retainers stronger and more reliable than the titanium one's?

[@tegiwa]

Hi, Skunk2's industry-leading Alpha Titanium Retainers are designed to significantly reduce valvetrain mass, resulting in more horsepower and improved valvetrain stability. Similar to Skunk2's already popular Pro Series Titanium Retainers, Alpha Titanium Retainers feature radius-cut edges for additional rocker arm clearance and reduced weight, strategically positioned lightening grooves, and reduced overall heights for better valve seal clearance and even further weight reduction. If you need any more assistance then please contact us: [e-mail] // 01782 33 44 40

[@iowpologt]

Only thing missing from the vid is the need to change the single valve spring seat from single to dual valve spring base and need for new stem seals.

[@joshwattonS2000]

Jesse mapped my DC5 a month or so ago. Albeit, I have a high compression K24, but we messed about with intake pipes. I had. 3” 90 degree bend on at the start, swapped it out for a 3.5” straight pipe, made 15hp everywhere on the graph. There’s a lot of science behind the intakes, but K Series love short rams. DC5 has more room for the air to escape compare to the EK, I saw a K Swapped EK run a cold air feed from the lower grill up to the filter, apparently massively helped with his heat soak problem.
