You only need one camshaft not two

BTW Zex aka Comp Cams makes a great stage 2 cam for your car. And it will be even better when you do turbo it later on with the cam.

First off SOHC means SINGLE overhead camshaft...so you have 1 cam not CAMS.

Second, don't waste your money on a cam for your SOHC, trust me i've gone down that route. Turbo that bitch

guys, can you reframe from the bashing.. im sure he know's it has a single cam. inform him.. not bash him. simple k?

cam(s) help with intake and exhaust.. they arent a waste of money.. if they were, they wouldnt of made them. if you're future plans are to turbo the vehicle.. make sure you think more for the long run plans instead of what you want to do now. buy parts for your future turbo setup, but dont install anything yet. saves money on install and you wont have to sacrafice anything in performance now as turbo setups are more directed to lower compression, etc.

get you a cam that will benifit you for a turbo setup. dont worry about an intake, as you will use a custom one for your turbo setup.

you will save so much money if you buy the right parts for the right situation, instead of buying temporary parts to give you some GO now.

hope this helps and sorry on this boards half for the asses who need to start **** over stupid little things just so it makes them look tuff and like they know alot. ignore them or report them. good luck matt

Y'know...buying turbo cams for an NA motor...a STOCK NA motor...doesn't seem like a good idea. Just like putting together a built motor with like 9.0:1 CR for a turbo, then wondering why it runs like **** while you wait for money to pick up that T28 or whatever. But maybe that's just me.

Edit: Sorry, turbo CAM, I'm stuck in B-series land.

Here was our conversation, this was too funny to not post:

(9:28 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: dude gotta question for ya??? how much HP is ur civic pushing?


(9:28 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: dude gotta question for ya??? how much HP is ur civic pushing?


(9:33 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: ????????????????????????????/

(9:39 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: ????????????????????????????/

(9:49 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: I don't know I haven't dyno'ed it.

(9:50 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: dude?

(9:50 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: what is an estamate?

(9:50 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: what is an estamate?

(9:51 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: what is an estamate?

(9:52 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: what is an estamate?

(9:53 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: 160 WHP

(9:53 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: what is an estamate?

(9:56 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: HAHA thats LAME!!!!! DUDE with a new cam in my car i would smoke ur *** with all motor dude

(9:56 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: HAHA thats LAME!!!!! DUDE with a new cam in my car i would smoke ur *** with all motor dude

(9:57 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: HAHA thats LAME!!!!! DUDE with a new cam in my car i would smoke ur *** with all motor dude

(9:57 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: HAHA thats LAME!!!!! DUDE with a new cam in my car i would smoke ur *** with all motor dude

(9:58 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: You're a ******* idiot. Go dyno your car right now, I bet you make 110 to the wheels. With a cam, 115-120 WHP maybe.
I did the same thing dude. I had a 10:1 SOHC with intake, header, exhaust and an exospeed stage 2 cam, and it was tuned with an AFC. I still only ran high 15's in the quarter. It wasn't worth the money. (I never dyno'ed this setup).

So, I sold the cam and pieced together a turbo kit...and I can hang with high 13 second cars on the street.


(9:59 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: And i'm running a conservative 6psi.

(10:00 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: so you and your TURBO, pushing a lousy 6psi, can go shove it up ur ***, dont talk **** when ur car is a POS and slow as hell for a "turboed" car


(10:02 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: Its a single cam turbo...look at the ******* times in this thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=858511

(10:26 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: so you and your TURBO, pushing a lousy 6psi, can go shove it up ur ***, dont talk **** when ur car is a POS and slow as hell for a "turboed" car


(10:31 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: Are you retarded?

(10:32 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: dude ur telling me that a cam is a waste of money?? doing a turbo on any civic without doing internals is a waste of money, my civic with internals will easy push over 200 WHP, and then turbo it will be able to handle safey 15-20psi, pushing between 300-400 HP so you dont know waht ur talking about when u say that SOHC have no potential

(10:32 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: Yep, you're retarded.

(10:33 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: dude ur telling me that a cam is a waste of money?? doing a turbo on any civic without doing internals is a waste of money, my civic with internals will easy push over 200 WHP, and then turbo it will be able to handle safey 15-20psi, pushing between 300-400 HP so you dont know waht ur talking about when u say that SOHC have no potential

(10:33 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: Stop saying things twice.

(10:39 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: yep i must be retarded...thats me...at least i dont have a POS turboed civic with only 160 HP, by the way in your car pictures wheres your intercooler?

(10:40 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: I painted it black.

(10:41 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: and BTW, i meant 160 WHP...which is comprable to a GSR swap

(10:41 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: so, I don't consider a 60% increase in HP to be a POS

(10:41 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: u gotta pic of the engine bay?

(10:43 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: HA a GSR pushes more HP then that are u ******* stupid...and my car with full intake and exshust, pushes almost that, and urs is turboed....


(10:45 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: Really? https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1221785 Stock GSR with Toda header and intake 162.57 WHP

(10:46 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: I'd shut the **** up if I were you.

(10:48 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: next time dont talk **** when u dont know what the **** u are talking about

(10:48 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: ? I just owned you. You're done, bye bye.

(10:49 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: owned me?

(10:49 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: can u beat a GSR??? tell me that?

(10:49 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: You said a GSR pushes more than 160, I just showed you a dyno of a bolt-on GSR with 160 HP. You were wrong.

(10:49 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: Yes, I can.

(10:51 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: are u talking about wheel or crank?

(10:51 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: WHEEL

(10:51 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: 160 Wheel = 190 crank

(10:52 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: ~15% loss of power to the wheels

(10:52 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: oh u didnt state that


(10:52 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: But you wouldnt know that, would you...

(10:52 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: WHP = wheel horsepower you dumbfuck

(10:54 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: yes i knew that, but u said HP not WHP


(10:56 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: https://honda-tech.com/zero...14065 Look here, I specifically stated 160 WHP as the estimate...get off my case, seriously

(10:58 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: oh sorry my bad didnt see that part


(10:59 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: *sigh*

(10:59 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: Are you done?

(11:01 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: nope, cuz ur a dumb **** saying internals are a waste of money


(11:01 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: now im done

(11:02 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: Right.

(11:03 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: Just know that i'm the moderator of the Civic forum, and being that i've done a both an all motor and turbo setup on my SOHC, you can probably assume i'm smarter and know more about Hondas than you. Thanks for playing

(11:12 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: if u knew soooo mcuh about hondas you would be able to at LEAST push 250 outta a turboed civic

(11:14 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: Yeah, maybe a B-series. 250 out of a stock D15B7 is impossible. It is possible with a Z6, but even then you're on the edge of blowing up the motor. I personally don't want to blow up my motor, this is my daily driver and I turboed it to add some zest not to be some viper-killing street terror.

(11:16 PM 8/14/2005) Civcmattie: OMG!!! D15.......oh man u should still be able to get at least 200 outta that...but ****, D15 i just feel sorry for u, i would smoke ur *** 3/4 throttle


(11:16 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: *sigh* Okay, I admit it. Your stock 1998 civic with cool 18" rims and bolt ons will beat my turbo 4 door.

(11:17 PM 8/14/2005) BauleyCivic: You have the fastest street civic in the nation.

What?

You're 19, right? I seriously thought 19-year olds were smarter than this these days. Guess I was mistaken... So much for the value of a high school education.

I'm about 2 seconds from dropping the ban hammer on you for just showing how completely ignorant you are.

You came here asking for advice, and you got it. People were TRYING to help you out, so that you don't waste a bunch of money on something that's not really going to help you out all that much. They helped you with knowledge and experience. What did you come back with? Ignorance and e-knowledge.

160 to the wheels isn't all that bad kiddo. I run a turbo SOHC that's basically a stock block at 8 psi daily and run high 13s. Save your money and either turbo it or don't bother IMO. There are much better ways to spend your money than on a cam in a mostly stock SOHC.

Oh yeah, and keep the shitty additude up. One more post with that **** additude in this thread and it's locked. This is a site to help spread information, not to listen to you complain and cry like a 8 year old spoiled little girl.

Then what was the "at least u admit ur a dumbass" line about?

And IBTL, just because.

Dustin offered his assistance and knowledge. He corrected you on the "cams" bit, but not in any particularly rude or unpleasant way. Your responses to him were completely uncalled for and in no way represented the manner in which he treated you.

Boo-frickety-hoo.

Guess what? Him and I are moderators for a reason. Because we've been around here a long time and we know our ****. This forums getting dragged down because of guys like you who come in here, don't know what the **** they're talking about, and then run their mouths at people who try and help them.

Locked. I don't even have the patience for this ****.
