I've heard that AEM cam gears break. I was thinking about unorthodox racing ones. What do you guys suggest ?

 

from what everyones telling me on my thread go with Crower for h23 , if you have H22 i hurd Skunk 2's are good...

 

Skunk 2's are very nice cam gears. I have them on my H23, but i think one may be loose because my idle has been messed up since they were put on.

Skunk 2's are a 6 bolt design as compared to the AEM 4 bolt and 5 bolt designs.

 

what do you need cam gears for? what is your setup?

 

headers/intake/ exhaust/ pulleys/ blaster coil/ wires/plugs/ msd sci ignition/ and hondata s300. Not everything is installed yet but will be when i put the cam gears on.

 

Cam gears wont do you any good unless you plan on tuning them on a dyno.

 

Yeah for mild mods like that dont waste your time or money on cam gears.

 

Well wut would u guys do next then if u were me? And in order for the cam gears to be effective then wut mods would i need?

 

Camshafts, valvetrain, maybe type s pistons.......and get it tuned.

Then maybe port and polished head.

What is your goal for the car? I say save your $$$$ until you know for sure, otherwise you'll buy stuff you will later regret.

 

i was plannin on building the head and bottom end but not till around the summer. Till then i wanted to just do all the bolt ons and little things.

 

would u go with a type s piston or a je or maybe a jun piston

 

GE's if u need cam gears....

cam gears are waste of time and money on stock cams.

Building it for what?? Turbo, N/A?? How much power do you want to make?

Good advice, i bought a lot of turbo parts and regret it now because i dont have time to maintain a turbo'd car and now I am selling them and taking a huge loss. Know what you want to do before you begin.

Porting does not help you make peak hp.

 

i was thinkin possibly turbo but only if i have the money to buy a beater car before hand cause like u said i dont want a turboed everday. So any suggestions ?
