I have a 97 ek with a h22a swap and Im looking to get some cams in there. What cams should I got with? I know there are few choices like skunk2, type s, crower, and blox. What do you guys recomend and does anyone have any in their h22?

 

if u want to spend alot then go with the skunk2.. if not then jus find someone or buy the type s cams..

 

around how much hp will those give me before tuning?

and what about the blox and crower cams?

 

14teen horsepower

12-14whp from 3500-8000rpms with Skunk2 Stage1's.......I ran them on both of my Preludes.

Thats a silly reply....you can find used S2S1's for like $400 and the performance matches the money spent. I spent ~$1k on my Greddy exhaust and Vibrant header to make just a pinch more power than my Cams. 15whp/9tq was my final # from h/e.

 

imma go w/ jun's as soon as i can save up money....ive heard good things about it but it IS expensive.

I had great gains everywhere with the JUNs over the Skunks.....
Not to mention my insane powerband for a 2.2 liter!

I hear these cams are wicked ...from stock.... to that where do you see more power??...low end torque?

 

With the JUNs I saw a great 4000-4500 gain and 6800-8200 was insane!!!
I started a JUN Cam owners thread....check it out if you have a chance....
My S2S1 vs JUN chart is on there...

I saw good gains with the Crower 2's from 3500+. I am running the crower valve train with an 8100 redline. With a crappy VAFC tune, and a crappy DC header, I made 195whp. That's about 18whp over my stock cams, with bolt ons. Now, I wish I had the ching for a SMSP and S300 tune. I think I'm leaving a lot on the table.

Didn't you do a Full rebulild in between the stock cams and C2's with TypeS slugs?

 

Oh yeah, you are right Clint, I did. My bad. So that 18whp includes the Type-S slugs, I'm not sure that made that much of a difference though......Still, I know I'm leaving power on the table that I should be getting from a better header, and a decent tune.

Hey, at least you got the car to run with the vafc. I couldn't....not good at least.
1cr point could be a 8-10whp gain...
Either way.....Cams are a great power mod!
