so iv been doing research on sohc cams

id like to put a cam in my car but was wondering what you SOHC

guys are running

car is 91 civic std

d16y7 stock with aem intake mpfi conversion and 2000 ex exhaust mani

so any input would be great thanks

 

A SOHC camshaft has both the intake and exhaust lobes on the same shaft. They do go "bump" in the night. Your vehicle should already have a camshaft in it, what's wrong with it? Consider yourself "learned".

Okay, Okay... enough of the teasing. What exactly are your goals? Completely stock Honda engines don't get great gains from camshafts. The reason being most of them tend to flow very well from the factory. Are you wanting to move your torque around or maybe your horsepower? It really depends on what you are trying to accomplish in deciding on what cam to run.

 

You aint gonna get **** from adding a new cam shaft.



Tell Michael I miss him very dearly.

 

Just looking for a little more hp

And lol at sii I havnt seent him in months

 

Again... in stock form you aren't going to gain much...

Here take a look at this...

It's not too in depth but it will at least give you an idea of what you are dealing with. I posted all about camshafts here somewhere recently if you really want to learn something. If I can find it I will post it for you since your search is broken.

 

Here, I found it...

It may go beyond the scope of what you are looking for... but believe me, I can go more in depth than that.

 

yo vem Neva is pretty much right bro if you keep your motor stock as is it aint gonna do much of a help just maybe bump a bit of tq and hp and move the curve around. either way if you do a cam its best if you replace the springs and valves for better results and for sure get rid of the a6 manifold and upgrade to a better flowing manifold bro..

 

Thanks for all the info guys

 

Dick best thing you could do is get the y8 head before you throw it on street port it and get a manifold shave the head a bit and you will be set

 

throw a b20 head for more torque and your set.

 

You should probably stay in the '92-00 with that type of information. B20 is a B-Series DOHC NON-VTEC head and he is working with SOHC... They are not compatible in the slightest. The only DOHC head that can be made to work is the D16A1/DOHC ZC and it's not easy.

 

 

This does not meet mr. unSatisfieds approval.

 

I'm pretty sure he was joking around

 

I'm pretty sure he was being serious

 

Wow, that really contributed something to this thread. Stage 2 camshaft, really? What are the specifications of this mystery camshaft? Also - CLEARLY the OP was talking N/A... you wouldn't even need to touch the engine aside from some ARP head bolts if you were only running 8-10lbs... Please keep your stupidity somewhere else like dseries.org for instance...

Did you not even read what I posted? I gave more information than the OP even wanted to know or could comprehend. Why in the world does he need to go somewhere else to get "better help"?
