JFK78 Has the Zex cam (59300) in his greddy setup.. Read his 2nd post in the thread.

 

i'm thinking of running the skunk2 stage 1 SOHC cam mainly due to its possible 50-state legality. i've heard great things about the 59300 from zex but my car is a daily driver that needs to pass smog. i could find a guy but you know. . . .

 

My ZEX cam as of now...



Anyone want to buy it?

 

this is the first time ive heard (or should i say seen) anything bad about the zex cam shafts. what happened?

 

Never heard anything bad about the Zex camshaft. I have seen and heard more than one complaint about the Crower camshafts breaking in half. My friend had a fully built GSR blown to kingdom come b/c of the Crower. The whole cam broke in half. His car wasn't even daily driven at that time. He wasn't even racing when it happened. He was so sad b/c all his money went into that motor and it took him over 2 yrs to build another one. Now I advise and stay away from Crower.

 

i installed a crower turbo 2 cam w/ retainers & springs and he doesn't even have the turbo and WOW! the difference is VERY nice...

It will fit. The timing will be off a couple of degrees, I believe, though. But that will get cared for when you hop on the dyno, anyway. I'm interested in seeing dyno comparisons of the 59300 versus the Skunk2 Stage I.

 

my friend has a zex 59300 with a 75 shot of nitrous on a stock bottom end with 160,000 miles. ran a 13.0.

 

Anyone know the difference between the ZEX y8 and Z6 cam?

the difference is in the way the cam is setup for the cam gear, there is about 5 degrees difference between the motors. they are interchangable.

d16y8 and d15b sohc vtec vti running a Z6 type cam will be about 5 degrees retarded.

 

Oh ok coo cause ive Got a D16Z6 with pistons and rods in it and its going into my 99 Civic well EL want to make over 300hp my goal SOHC with 20psi we will see
