I have been pricing the job of R&R the head.

 

Car is going in tomorrow for the cams.... Should be picking it up on Saturday...... the shop said there should be no problems with dynoing it right away.....
Since I have a new set of heavy ass 18" wheels, I will be redynoing my base run.....
Beroz.....

 

ok keep us posted..

howe much peak hp do you expect? 10 WHP?

 

I donno... I will provide the dyno sheets....

 

Cams installed.....car is running...on my request they will be dynoing the car tomorrow....can't wait I will be posting many many pics including dyno plots...Hope they remembered to baseline run it..... muahaha....can't wait.....

 

They better have baselined it, otherwise the follow up test is _almost_ worthless.

Cams installed, lost significant high end HP ~ 20 HP. The car was baselined at 213 peak before and only 190 HP after. Gained significant amount of low end to mid range HP but the HP just platoed at 190 when it hit 8000 RPM's ....I will post the details later.

this doesn't sound any different then the spec 1 cams that provided low and mid range power. What the hell?

 

Ouch, no break-in? no tuning?

 

I will not be posting the dyno charts for awhile.... I have to find a scanner.....
Basically, I lost over all peak HP ...which sucks..... from the numbers alone I personally feel that I should have bought a civic - it seems the cams have brought my peak HP back to stock or maybe less.......
The dyno charts after the cams were installed look pretty much like a V8's dyno chart, very linear right off the bat, the area under the curve improved significantly ~8 - 15 HP ....Vtec is smooth and the overall throttle response has improved significantly.
When dynoed, the overall acceleration of the car increased. Don't have the numbers with me - this tells me that the effect of the cams is similar to the ring and pinion.......increase acceleration... I would personally go with that....much more cheaper......
Nextup on the item list is increase compression (custom pistons from JE), AEM ECU . ay other suggestions?Damn it...... I will be calling Toda on Monday to bitch..........
Feel free to ask questions......
Minimal breaking in was needed and the car was tuned........
