Is it worth $600 for after market cams for a forced induction honda motor? I contacted Larry at Endyn, and he said the Crower Turbo Vtec cams are exelent, along with Eibach springs. Or should I just stick with an OEM Cam?

 

well my stock cams are working just fine so far....

 

Does anyone have any info on the Crower turbo cams? Their site is undergoing a change so its shut down till Febuary.

 

waste of money..ill stick with stock or some stock GSR's

 

yeah stick with GSR's but dont go bigger than ITR cams

 

Stock cams fine for street but if u want strip whp (launching at 5000 and reving to 10,000) then aftermarket is a must. If you have to drive it daily, u need lots of low end and stock is fine.

 

Stock is fine... and he has a B18B everyone so scratch the GSR cam idea.

 

Save your money for the kit man. after you get the kit on there, running 9psi or so, see if you still want to swap cams. I know i'm happy with stock cams.

 

Also, enlighten me how eibach springs and cams are related?

 

I was wondering the same thing...

 

eibach makes valve springs and not only suspension products.

 

Yeah, Eibach makes valve springs too. I guess they are the best, according to Crower and Endyn.

Dustin, I think My plans have changed, Im going to go LS/Vtec. Im going to probably go with a b16a2 head. I found a b18b block, crank, and all sensors for a good price which I will buy with my next paycheck. I will then send it to Golden Eagle to have it sleeved and bored to 84.5mm. So I will pretty much haVE A B20 block only stronger. Im also sold on the MaxRev "kit".

Im getting really exited cause I am finally caught up with all of my bill, and have enough money saved to start on my project. Im going to try to have it all done by the end of summer. I want to have the new motor in my car by June, and take my time braking it in and getting everything settled good before I put the turbo on.

just have someone machine the base circle off your stockers and readjust valves for much higher lift. plzzzzzzz get good springs for this and measure coil bind and max lift first.

 

Call me stupid, but I don't know all of the terminology when it comes to heads, can you please explain this in stupid people terms?

 

this is what is commonly referred to as a "regrind". What you do is "shave" down the base of the cam lobe, so that when you adjust your valves, you are effectively making the cam have more lift because it is now pushing your rocker down more than it was before

 

stock cams

 

stock GSR cams are the way to go. They have been proven by top tuners to make 600 whp. No b/s

 

600 whp with stock cams? Are there any dyno charts or articles available?

 

Thanks for all the info. I'll probably just get so GSR cams. Does anyone know how much they cost brand new from Acura? I figured since I'll be spending an arm and leg on haveing a head port & polished, I might as well go with aftermarket cams too, but I guess they would just be a waist of my money. Thanks again.

 

I have a pair of stock gsr cams laying around with sprokets... shoot me an Email if you are interested.

 

i know someone who made over 600 to the wheel w/ gsr cams. i was at the dyno and i know they're stock gsr cams. many many 9 sec hondas use them.

 

Does anyone know the price of Brand new cams from Acura? Or do cams not wear out, so it would be pointless to go brand new?

 

just buy some used GSR cams. save some of the money for something else. and from acura its prolly a arm and a leg. let me give u an example. i went to the dealership to buy just a black GSR valve cover and it was almost twice the price of a ITR red valve cover.

 

Do you know what size turbo they were running? If you say T3/T4 I will hang myself. My T3/T4 makes 441 whp whether running 23 lbs or 30 lbs. I've run a best of 10.25 (at 2800' altitude). With 600 whp I should run in the 8's. That's why I just ordered a T 61. Hope it's the right turbo

 

That is FAST!!!!! Is your car a daliy driver? Anyways, I think I'll probably just use the one that comes with the MaxRev setup:

its a t3/t04E
Compressor side: 57 trim t04e in a .60 a/r housing
Exhaust Side: Stage 3 wheel in a .63 a/r housing
