Genuine Honda 50° VTC Actuator (Intake Cam Gear) – K-Series
Unlock the full tuning potential of your Honda K-Series engine with the Genuine Honda 50° VTC Actuator. Found natively on high-performance K20 engines like the Civic Type R (EP3/FN2/FD2) and Integra Type R (DC5), this OEM intake cam gear is one of the most popular and effective upgrades for K-Series engine builds and K24 swaps.
Standard K24 engines (such as those found in the Accord or CR-V) typically come equipped with restrictive 25-degree or 40-degree VTC gears. By upgrading to this genuine 50-degree VTC actuator, you allow the engine management system to advance the intake camshaft up to 50 degrees. When paired with a proper tune, this drastically improves mid-range torque, optimizes the VTEC crossover, and maximizes top-end horsepower.
