hey, i have a 96 accord coupe

its a stock engine besides my cold air intake and exhaust, my question is : is there any way i can add a 2nd cam to get more power?

 

edit: please tell me you're talking about replacing a cam instead of trying to "put another cam" in your sohc?

 

No you cannot add a second cam to make more power. I woudl suggest you start here

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/camshaft.htm

you have alot to learn.

 

yeah...i'm kinda new to the preformance part

i just wanna know what i can do to make more power, i have an iceman cold air intake, and catback exhaust.

i dont have money to do h22 swap, but i've been hearing people mention spoon cams and other thigns liek that.

so any guideance? thanks

 

do alot of research. look into a small shot of nitrous for now like a 50 shot.

here is a nitrous faq..

http://www.dtmpower.net/forum/...79701

 

this is the forced induction forum, meaning supercharger, turbo, etc... you're speaking about naturally aspirated (N/A) - cams, exhausts, headers, etc.. that sort of stuff

 

nitrous...yeah rite....

can you explain to me why i should change into adjustable crankshafts or purchase spoon cams etc.

No I can't.

What is an adjustable crankshaft?

Spoon cams? Why do you want those?

50 shot of nitrous = very cheap and easy way for a few more horsepower. A simple setup will be cheaper than cams and make more power.

yea really.... if not /yourself immediately

 

Dam dude, i think u just need to learn the basics of your motors components before u attempt any performance upgrades..

good luck

 

i do understand somewat, but i was mostly into looks of the car.

i just posted in this forum because i know that everybody in here knows a lot more than me and could possibly help me, but instead, just gettin flamed.

yea, i know about nitrious...but that isn't constant power, i would only get more, if i was to actually use it right?

how i could boost up my power....

okay, basically the quesiton i have is, i hear people talking about spoon cams, aem pulleys etc. etc. can anybody in here explain to me if this adds power and what i should be possibly looking for

 

Well I cant go over all the dos and donts of turboing your car cause that would take too long. Best advice I can give you is buy a copy of Maximum Boost by Corky Bell on http://www.amazon.com or http://www.bn.com Also check out the FAQ sticky and start reading.

BTW if ou turbo your car dont get spoon cams and IMO you dont need pulleys.

 

okay....first things first...i didnt' say anythign about turboing my car


basically...besides tne normal addons (cold air/exhaust) what other performance mods can i do

 

Yes you CAN make more power with those things but everyone in this section is going to tell you not to waste your money because boost is better. Which i strongly agree. honestly you just need to read and read on this site. There is more information than you can probably handle you will learn so much just by searching.
PS. Remember to click the "archived content" bullet to get more topics when searching

 

If you already have an intake and cat-back, I would say that the next step is to get a good header before adding a second or third cam. Adjustable cranks are pretty hairy, I wouldn't get into that yet.

So why did you post this in the forced induction forum? by posting here we can only assume that you plan on getting a turbo, supercharger or nitrous. If you dont plan on doing any of those things, then you posted in the wrong forum. If you do plan on doing one of those, then you need to be more clear and mention that in your post.
