Are they really worth buying for the 1.6L sohc si motor? I have I/H/E and I'm wondering if it would be worth while to get a JD camshaft for it I doubt Id see much for gains but does anyone have any experience with them?

 

YES, i had a gude cam and ecu and some other bolt-ons on my d16 back in the day. It was running 15.0's at like 93-95mph on street tires all day with shitty 60' ft times. It ran really strong before i decided to go b-series. It also had a lumpy-*** idle which made it sound pretty cool too

 

Delta Cams is the way to go!! they only charge $85 for a regrind and have 2 different choices, a 260 and a 272, more info on A6 cams here:

I hear the Exospeed cam is pretty nasty as well.

I see Exospeed on here alot, and im sure hell ring in here.

 

What are your plans for the car?

Many "racing" cams require upgraded valvesprings, and sometime other internals. Also, since it is a SOHC non-VTEC engine, your fuel mileage and low-end power will suffer and your idle will not be smooth.

If you daily drive your car, I would suggest going with a slightly more aggressive street or street/strip type cam. A full race cam wouldn't be a good idea.

The cam list that Sideout linked to is very informative. You may also want to try a search.

 

I actually ment a JG camshaft but what I had planned to do was just keep the motor I/H/E and a camshaft and eventually swap the motor out.

 

If you're going to swap the engine, why waste money on parts that you can't use on the new engine?

 

because I need some go in the meantime and I'm not swapping till my si motor bites the dust
