i just installed used cams and cam gears in my 2001 gsr, result= ***, when the vtec hits it just makes noise. it feels like i dont even got vtec. What the hell could be wrong, i need help. i was thinking the obd2 thing, i need advice. oh yea my cam gear is at 0. thnx for your responses

 

buy a V-AFC, and Tune the ******, and add in a Skunk2 Intake Manifold!

vnt

 

what he said.. man im getting tired now

 

Which skunk2's do you have and what CR are you running ?

 

From what i have read from others who have experienced similar things, I would bet that you installed "stage 2" - am i correct? that level of cam requires more CR and makes its power higher in the rev band...you'lll need a lot more than just a vafc to get the most from those...more like pistons, ecu, valvetrain plus what you got.

 

newbie question but whats a CR?

 

compression ratio..is CR

 

ok, i jus added the obd harness with a obd1, plus short shifter, short shifter bushings, aem cold air intake, nologys, dual n-1`s, skunk cams, and skunk cam gear. AND IM FUKING CLOCKING 16.2 im jus disappointed. i should have jus kept my Si. from 5 to 6 rpm my car doesnt move but once it hits 7 to 8 damn that ***** pulls like a mother i was gettin spanked by civics sigh ill try the vafc and manifold, see if that helps. if not, looks like time for a new car

 

You don't want to hear this but..you should've saved your$$ and went with the Toda B's or Jun 3's. Skunk=Junk

 

you must have money out the bling like that.....

try to get the VAFC and tune them. throwing those things in there wont produce much power without tunning, get it tuned professionally.

 

Get the VAFC, Fuel pressure regulator and guage.
Then take it to the dyno.

 

Did you say that your camgears are set a 0,0? If so there is no benefit running larger cams over stock. Get some tuning.

 

see the problem with hawaii is thaT ONE its a samll *** island and TWO aint no shop out here is a pro at tuning cars VAFC,GEARS, ETC. Well they claim there is but i dont trust them for shet, it looks like im **** out of luck i think ill jus drive it into the ocean and insurance it
but ill take it to tracks next week, this time ill take my 3 12`s out of my car, i was thinking that big and heavy *** box could also be a problem
oh yea this is not racerman i forgot to log on as rolln

 

this right here is all you need for stage 1's! trust me. your car is lagging mostly because u are using the stock vtec x-over. raising the vtec alone will be a considerable difference

 

comments like this are not helpful dood. before you put down a product, you should check out the gain #'s. i will tell you now that the stage 2 skunks are the same as the Jun3's and about 200 bucks cheaper

all 3 are good cams, it just depends on what ur planning. drag racing(top end)=JUN/Skunk2
road racing(mid range)= Toda
