I installed Buddy Club Spec 4 cams in the car along with the 0.5mm head gasket and cam gears.

The engine is a B18C with P30 pistons

last time i did a compression test prior to installing cams i got almost 260 ( i thought it was high as hell). Now it has been a week since i insalled my cams and i did a compression test today, and i am now getting 190, 200, 190, 200. Is this compression right or is it too low????/

The guy i was by told me that cams lower compression due to more lift. is this true.

anyway the car is way more agressive in the higher RPM, but in the lower RPM it lacks and feels slower that with the stock GSR cams. I know this for sure since i was coming back to work with a friend and we decide to have a little sprint, and i realise that the Below VTEC the car was there with him and i usually walk all over those types of cars. After VTEC he was left in the dust.

What can i do to increase the low down torque/power?

 

sounds like you need to tune the car

 

It's not the lift, it's the duration. Longer duration cams that make power in the higher rpm range drop cranking compression thus requiring higher compression. Have you ever noticed on a cam spec sheet as the duration grows, so does the compresson they want? Did you follow the details of your cam card in regards to the engine you bolted them into and the required compression?

 

You installed aftermarket cams, and expected to actually gain power without tuning? You're kidding right? Let me guess, you even took the car out and did full throttle pulls without a wideband?

To give you half a clue, I lost 30hp by just "dropping in" BC5 cams in my 2.0L versus ITR cams. After 1 hour of tuning, I was up 50hp over my baseline.

Go tune and please for the sake of your motor, stop driving under heavy load until you get tuned.

As for cranking pressure, I went from 290psi to 230psi from ITR cams to Pro3's. BC5's were somewhere in the 220psi neighborhood IIRC.

 

Put the car on a dyno & have it tuned using hondata, neptune etc.

 

come on with cams like that you should of known you werent going to have any low rpm power only hi end power.. get her tuned GL

 

get tuned. End of story.
