Anyone have spoon sports camshafts, cam gears, and high tension timing belts? If you do, where did you get it, and was the but worth it? Also...if you have a spoon flywheel...was that worth purchasing?

 

I had spoon cams, and I to be honest was not impressed with them, I like my JUN 2's much better, but like the saying goes ask 10 differant people get 10 differant awnsers

 

Yeah, i know what you mean, i guess it is kind of a " personal preferance ".

if you can find the race spec. spoon cams then yes but the ones that they offer now suck, cam gears , timing belt a must if you are running B's and if you run stiffer valve springs...will just last longer. spoon flywheel i love mine..i would do either spoon or toda flywheel...

why would you do the Toda or Spoon flywheel,

Just want to know what you like about them compared to a lighter and cheaper flywheel

 

Spoon Cams (very mild though)
Spoon Cam Gears
Spoon Timing Belts
Get them from http://www.aj-racing.com

Spoon price

 

Thanks.

 

I'd say go Toda or SPOON flywheel because they are chromoly, and not cheesy-*** aluminum like some of the other cheaper alternatives. I do not trust aluminum - sorry, but I've seen the boltholes wallow out and cause some nice damage in the clutch/flywheel combo.

 

I understand your point of chromoly being stronger, I was just making a point that most say TODA< JUN< SPOON, because of the name and nothing else.

also Fredenza is one high quality aluminum flywheel, I have never heard of a bad experiance with it.

but to agree with you somewhat I would not want to be my passenger if the bolt holes do go, and a flywheel comes ripping towards there legs at 8000rpms

 

Haha.

 

Hmmm I'm in pretty good with the guys at Spoon and Type-One and I have never heard of "ANY" Race cam that they make....are ya sure about that on GUS..

 

Spoon does have them but they are not for sale . Ask Spoon what they use back at 92-93 races Gr.A class .

 

I find this dyno plot very interesting considering everyone here seems to shoot down the Spoon cams! VERY few SPEC-B equipped cars and fewer SPEC-A equipped cars can come close to this!

This plot was located on the dynocenter website!

 

Yeah...i see your point through the dino chart.

 

Spoon cams are almost the same as Toda A's. Spoons look to have a little more duration but the Toda's have a little more lift according to the info on Allmotorhonda.com.

I might add one very significant observation about the SPOON dyno plot: look where the peak power is, between 8200-8400 RPM. Serious power can be achieved even with a relatively low fuel cut off.

Obviously it is all about tuning, but using that argument only proves that you don't know what you are doing! The fact is these cams can be made to work!

Im sorry I wasnt tryin to prove any point, just giving some info.

No need to apologize! I wasn't attacking you or anyone for that matter, just sharing information. I hate this medium! It is too easy to be misunderstood.
