I'm looking to get new cams for my prelude but I'm not trying to spend alot of money. I want stage 2 cams so that it makes a good power increase. Are OBX cams any good performance and reliablility wise. I like the price thats why I'm curious

Thanks in advance

 

no, they are crap like everthing else they make

still crap

 

Did you have some? Does there performance suck? What was your experience with them?

You probably shouldn't cheap out on something so vital to a motor. OBX has been known to produce shitty products. They are cheap for a reason. Again, you get what you pay for.

 

There's lots of information about these in the all motor forum.

The short answer is: "don't use them".

 

My builder just finished an H22A1 build with BloxB cams. While we don't have a before & after, compared to STOCK cam setups, they did very very well!
So, yah, look into them if you want to cheap out with cams that could ruin your motor if they break.

 

Alright thanks for the input

 

I also have to ask, how do you plan to tune the cam gears on an H22A4? If you don't have the answer to that (?) then I suggest a lot more research on your part.

 

I haven't researched quite yet but I plan to, is there a common problem that arises when tuning the H22A4 cam gears?

 

Blox != OBX, though, unless OBX has changed their suppliers.

 

So OBX cams are rebadged Blox bumpsticks?

 

i have a feeling that he read through it too quickly.

obx =junk

/thread

 

no

 

I think he's just saying they are equally as shitty.

I will have a report on the BloxBs after this Racing season. They will be used in a circle track car.

 

I say since you have so much doubt they could be so bad (OBX) go use them and when you come back to ask how you should rebuild your head/motor be prepared to have people laugh at you for thinking that putting any obx product into the innards of any motor was somehow justifiable. People make upwards of 600whp on stock cams btw.

 

No, I'm not. I'd run a Blox cam in my car. (if I had a good solution for H22-specific cam wear issues, anyway)
