I don't want too aggressive - I want max profile without any OTHER engine mods.
The reason why I don't want to go Excessively hard cams is because of the extra headwork thats required. I just dont want the pain in the backside to put it simply.
But rather than getting regrinds - i want to spend the extra money - and have blank cams made to the 'best' possible profile that would suit my application - keeping valve springs stock etc. By my calculations - I should be able to make my D16 make enough power as a mildly I/H/E B16 motor can - without spending the $2.500 on a B16 swap.
I drove a mates CRX a while ago, after he put MILD regrind cams into the D16. I was amazed by the power/torque the motor was making with such a small $300 mod (regrinds). I tested his car and my car over a stretch of road - I managed 110 in my car and 140 in his car - over thesame stretch of road - thats a pretty amazing difference. if you take that onto a 400m track - by rough estimates if I can make the 1/4 at 142km/h atm - I could be pushing 150-160 with the cams - bringing me closer to the 14 second pass.
cheers Kris... i will call around :)Quote:

Ben - the cam regrinds he has were made/obtained by Cypher Industries here in Perth - they call them Mild profile. The car idles just as normal so its nothing massive.
I'll find out the details - but they cost him $300 - thats what i know for sure.
keep me updated on how you go mike. $300 for regrinds from cypher? thats not too bad. Zack was telling me about an EG Si they did cams for which went ok (15.1 ET)
Cooooor. Oi Man get cams in ZC goodness.
have a think...what you want...Drag or Track...mine is not aggressive enough..Hahaha..wanna go hardcore...
Mike, Ive looked into a set of cams made by Ivan Tighe who I believe makes the sticks for Ferralls racing. I believe they are many times the strength as JUN. .. Well according to those who have snapped more than 3 sets of JUN cams.
Well - like I said - I don't want anything too hardcore because that requires further mods.Quote:
