I just hope this isnt a stupid question... I have a friend with Jun stage 3 cams... He has only put 3,000 miles on them and changed his oil twice now with them in... He wants to sell them for $800... I have a 99 B18C type R and told him i would give him $500 plus my cams... Am i ripping myself off or am i getting a good deal? should i say $400 plus my cams or am i pushing it... Please let me know what yall think... thanks alot

 

That sounds fair.If you get them make sure you upgrade your valve train.

 

500 plus your cams is a STEAL, do it or I will!!

 

good deal

 

I'd say that's a good deal, those Jun 3 cams are awesome power makers, upgrade your valve springs and retainers with those cams and you'll be laughing..

 

Okay thanks alot... i thought it was a good deal... The only thing is how do i know 100% that there the JUN 3's... We are taking them out of his car and putting them straight into mine and vic versa.... Are there any speceal markings or a UPC type deal????? Thanks alot agean for all the replys

 

One more thing... Ive been talking to Inline Pro where ill be getting my work done from there right out side of washingtion DC in springfeild Va. He said that these cams arnt ment for street use so when people Daily Drive them that they have a bigger chance over breaking over time... Is this true and should i worry about them at all????

 

my freind has these cams in his car now daily driver no worries

 

yeah, I haven't heard of any problems using them as daily drivers either.

As far as how do you know if they are Jun 3's, you did say this guy was your friend right? Is his word not good enough?

 

If I were you I would take your car to get dynoed at Ultimate Performance in Dulles, great tuner there.

 

Ya i heard they do good tuning but me and the sales rep dont get along to good.... Besides im good friends with stan up at Inline so he is going to hook me up... And as far as the dude ive only talked to him a couple of times at some car get to geathers but he is a friend of a friend i would say....

 

which "dude" did you talk too? Do you know who the tuner is at Ultimate?

 

i just think i trust my car up at inline more then ultimate because inline does nothing but hondas... Last time i was at ultimate i didnt see one... Now dont get me wrong i heard there great tuners but I dont have a big fat front mount on my car....

 

Waste of money..
#1 for those who have never heard of any problems...Jun cams have been known to break at the cam gear end of the cam.. Now so do others, BUT the jun 3 is notorius with at least 10 guys here on htec alone having it happen. Including me watching it happen first hand..
#2 The jun 3 profile was copied years ago and now can be bought under another name for half the price.. Its called Skunk stage 2, or blox stage 2..
#3 800 for set of used cams is a waste when you can get a brand new set of compettitors cams which make more power and cost 300.00 less..

 

yeah toms right except ive had my JUN 3 cams for about 4 yrs now.

Yeah its a crap shoot with any cam as far as the breaking goes, we have seen them all break at leaqst 1 tme now... But for the money, theres better cams on the market now.

 

i agree with u 100% Tbone. i remember when i bought my cams i didnt know which cams to buy. TODA, JUN, Crower and skunkworks were about the only cams made back then. there was very little info about any of them. skunks cams ate rocker arms so that was a big no no. i chose the JUNs obviously and about a yr later they had a whole bunch of them break. i saw some break into 4 pieces, some into 1 piece etc etc. i was paranoid. then it was "you cant take JUN 3s past 9200 or they will break". well i proved that wrong with the hundreds of 9500+ shifts ive made.

 

yah i've got 4 people with jun 3's no problems with A LOT of miles on them. i think there was something about the "first batch" of jun cams that came out.

 

Man this is like a mind kill.... Ive been trying to look for good cams for a while now and dont know what to get... Please help me out and let me know what you guys think i should buy..... Ill be running CTR pistons as well... thanks for replys too....

uh oh... T-Bone = jun hater!

Have you done some toda vs jun cams in your motor T-Bone?

Spec C vs Jun 3 would be a good battle.....

 

not to get to far off the subject but what CAMS do you feel are the best TBone?

I say go for them, $400 buks to get billet cams that are not chilled is not a bad deal. If he's used them for 3k miles chances are they're not part of the 1st batch that seems to break ...

go for it and get some Toda valvesprings and retainers and adjustable cam gears while you're at it.

I used JUN 3's in our 10 second all motor race car ...

In a stock ITR, I'd recommend the Toda spec A cams ... but since you can get a good deal on the JUN 3 I'd say get them.
