cams for my 3rd g lude

[HOODLUM]

yeah where would i get some from and will they improve my performance alot and what kind should i get thanks

these will be very very hard to find i think mate. there is only a little amount of aftermarket support for the B series in your prelude.

An option might be to get custom but expensive or if u want just a little more aggressive you can have a shop regrind your stock ones. i dont know how good thay work.

Best bet to get a set of cams will be from the USA, there about the only place that have aftermarket parts for the 3g lude.

Good luck

Gude/bullfrog make cams for the 3rd Gen

Expensive and not really worth it:

taken from www.prelude3G.com, under engine, N/A build.

"Our last attempt to try to make naturally aspirated power on this engine was a set of Crower regrinds. We sent a set of cores off to Crower and they sent us back the regrinds very quickly. I also recall that the price was extremely reasonable. However, when we swapped those cams in and dynoed the car it was more of the same. At best, the cams made 3 horsepower and the top end power didn't budge. The graph shows the slight loss in power from our last dyno with new head in red and the slight gain in power from the cams in green. We did dyno the head and cams on different wheels and tires from the last dyno. In all likelihood, the head did absolutely nothing. Either way, it was a huge waste of funds. That is when I gave up on N/A 3rd gen engines permanently and went to the dark side."

I used to have a set of Gude cams in my old accord with the B20A and it seemed to be all good, but I guess it really depends on what kinda power gain you're looking for 26.9Kw is what I got with the cams.........................not bad

[spacemaster]

hell... 26kw for cam is very very reasonable.... any other comments on these cams ?

[SCK_ID]

yeah don't ever get regrinds, such a limited power gain compared to real cams
you'll have to send a set of yours to them so they remanufacture them using only the original core. you really need to do some head work that is why there is also A whole head package available

26.9 kw is a huge gain on a natro b20a. I assume this is including I/H/E and advancing the timing?

Did you have adj. cam gears also?

Also how was the idle and fuel consumption after installing the cams?
