I got Skunk2 Stage 1 cams and Skunk2 Cam gears in today.

Right now, the Cam Gears are set to 0 both on the Intake and Exhaust side.
I set the VAFC to 5200rpm for VTEC X-over.

Its ok before VTEC, but once I hit vtec in my car, it LAGS like HELL! Takes days to get up.

Diablo Autosports did the installation, so I doubt there was an installation problem. They took my car for a spin afterwards and said that it's probly because of the Fuel Pressure. Its too low. They said I need a Fuel Pressure Regulator and raise the Pressure. What do you guys think?

As of right now, my car is running slower than stock in VTEC. Any help?

 

first think i'd do is make sure the timing is set right, put it at TDC and make sure the cam gear dots allight, it might be off a tooth.

 

no it's not cuz fuel pressure...it's something about cam timing. maybe they're missing it by a tooth...that happened to my friends gsr once w the same cams and it was slower than a civic ex stock, literally, he got owned haha. u paid for that? u shoulda had kham do it.

 

I wanted a Valve Adjustment along with it, that's why I went to a shop.

After he fixed the Cam timing, was it ok?

 

yeah do what they said, and id do the valve adjustments yourself, they are super easy....infact, thanks, im gonna go do mine right now before my trip to the dyno next week

 

yeah each tooth is like 5degrees i think, so being a tooth off puts the ignition totally off making you loose all power.

 

How do I check if the tooth is off or not? I didn't have my Valve Cover cut, but the bottom part is taken off, so you can see the bottom parts of the cam gears...

 

aw damn it. This sucks. I cashed out all my money for installation and its slower than before.


Someone in the Bay Area wanna help me out?
