Adjustable Cam gears on Type R

[Benson]

Just wondering if there would be any gains or benefits if i fitted adjustable cam gears on and integra type R engine. It's also ging to be tuned with a hondata

[todaek9]

if you blue print, port and polish, airflow match, your engine as well...

I think B18CR was blue printed from factory?
And heads were hand ported and polished too?

Not ported, just polished

They came with a mild port job. The gains on a stock ITR will still be mild but if you are going to add things later are a good start, especially if you are on a small budget now. Gears were the first part I started with, only 125 bucks a pair is why!

Adjustable Cam Gears allow fine tuning of the camshaft timing to maximize engine performance and tailor power characteristics for various driving conditions.
Adjustments can be made to tune an engine’s power band to the optimum RPM range for a particular application

some info off a couple sites

Yep just to make it lose power :thumbdwn: bad advice my friend,By fitting cam gears you very rarely will you gain much peak power in a STD engine unless you retune to suit the different cam timing and if any other mods that are done to your setup.Most cam timing jobs will just move the power curve around to a lower or higher RPM point.We normally look for a stronger mid range power curve when doing this type of job.

Same as any mods they need to be tuned in to get the best result,remember the time we spent retuning the smallest of mods to the intakes to get the best out of them.

yuhuh sure do..!! they were good times though dave :)

[bennjamin]

IMO even with a aftermarket computer ~ "adj" camgears are best for aftermarket camshafts. Not worth it at all on stock cams :)

[Phamburger]

I agree there with Ben Opinion. If you really want the max from a particular product, I.E Cam Gears then it would be best to get some head work done. Such as Port and Polish, Aftermarket Cam shaft new springs etc etc.

So u'll get the full potential of the cams gear and plus you'll prolly get a better dyno result. Best of luck with what u wanna do Benson.

Cheers

I stand corrected.....

No need for the sarcasm... Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone has as much experience as you. Im young and still learning....

[Limbo]

i have to say that tuning in some cam gears will help even your stock cars with minor mods. I noted that mine seem to be torquer when i got my cam gears.

[todaek9]

the best way, Stay STANDARD...haha...

One thing i'm really curious...Spoon CAms...Any one experienced it before?

[fatboyz39]

Some engines are setup differently. I know that for my car....putting on cam gears with stock cams and stock motor, it made 6.5hp atw, dyno sheets to prove.

Cam gears are design to fine tune the cams in. Might as well put on on for the full tune.

Blueprint is to take the engine apart and rebuild it with all the correct clearences from the manual like in the blueprint of the engine.
Actually it's when you build an engine to a spec rather than a tolerance.
