Here is a Video off my car with Toda A cams. Pretty quite

http://200.62.5.11/Idle-Engine.mpg

 

How much power are you making?

 

I haven't Tuned it yet, but I am guessing with all my mods I should get somewhere in the 190 range.

 

.....that video looks like you are idling with the fans, ac, radio, and headlights on. 1200 rpms?

 

Nope.. no AC, or Lights.

 

Yep, stock idle with Toda A cams.

BTW, your ground wire is in the wrong place.

 

Sounds good nowhere as noticable as the B's lump lump reminds me of JUN cams nice and stock like. Now get her tuned and lets see what she puts out

 

How come I have seen several people who've said this when the first picture (left) is the stock grounding location?

 

Cause they are wrong. Think about it. The location of the ground while on the first picture (left) is to the valve cover only. Now the valve cover is sitting on a rubber gasket, and all the bolts have a rubber gaskets so its not grounded. When you do it liek the second picture (right) it is grounded to the bolt that goes into the head.

Craig - Who still thinks it does not make a big enough difference in either location.

This is just in case you you get hit by lightning

 

"Craig - Who still thinks it does not make a big enough difference in either location."
I agree with you Craig, the head and block are made out of aluminum... not a good conductor

Edit: Do you have OIL in that motor or is it the video sound???

in the second picture, how can it be the "jdm throttle cable bracket" when its in frotn of the motor? doesnt the cable lay behind the motor?

 

That is a JDM throttle cable bracket. As we all know, JDM cars are RHD. Therefore the throttle cable is on the other side of the car. This makes routing the throttle cable different when compared to LHD cars. With a RHD drive Civic/Integra the the cable goes around the front of the car, up the passenger side (RHD passenger side) and to the TB.

Also, with regards to the topic of this post, Toda A cams are supposed to idle like stock cams. The primary and secondary lobes are nearly identical to the stock cam profile(s).
