accord cams
 

hey anyone know about any independent or mainstreem company that offers aftermarket cams that can help in the performance area . i am also about to put forged rods and pistons on as well. any ideas or suggestions ?

what year is ur car? 4 or 6 cylinder? what trim? we need info man

RE: accord cams
 

And plus, it's cam, not cams, unfortunately.

how do you know pyaarawala? he could have a v6 ^_-

RE: accord cams
 

last i new a v6 had 2 cams...... one on each side..... but maybe im wrong.

isnt that why they call it 3.0 SOHC V6

RE: accord cams
 

The S in SOHC = Single

RE: accord cams
 

why would you put forged rods and pistons in a non-turbo engine?

RE: accord cams
 

High power N/A build? If you're going to bore it and increase compression you'd want them but if you're just replacing stock with stock sized forged and no turbo then I'm with you, no need for it....

RE: accord cams
 

yes.... but the point is.... in spite of being a sohc it still does contain two cams seriously man..... would you only change 1 cam on a v6?

RE: accord cams
 

My bad for some reason I assumed he had a 4cyl.

Huge shot of nitrous. Better product than a cast material. The S2000 has forged pistons from the factory.

RE: accord cams
 

get some CL type S cams and call it a day


building up a J30a is pointless unless you are going to FI it and even then the stock internals can handle what the S/C can feed it even on the high boost pully

RE: accord cams
 

Gentlemen .... a cam is an oblongated circle! The V6 has 18 cams and 2 camshafts.

RE: accord cams
 

touché, but now youre just pointing out technicalities ^_^

RE: accord cams
 

all in the name of accuracy!!!! I'm a specifying engineer, what do you expect?!? In my line of work, the details will make or break you!

RE: accord cams
 

well... when someone asks how to design a camshaft because they are going to make one themselves have at it ^_- but buying one that someone else designed... psh... forgetaboutit ^_^

RE: accord cams
 

I don't necessarilly agree with that, but you do need to know what you're getting. I'm not going to orderr a custom grind when I boost my tc, but I'll do the research to figure out the specs that I want and find what has already been developed and compare notes. Chances are pretty good that whatever I come up with is going to be pretty close to what's already been developed ..... but then again, now I'm debating between FI and NA. For NA, I'd definately void my warantees. The TRD SC when installed at Toyota maintains the warrantees. I've found parts that allow my engine to spin up to 9500 rpms and deep dish pistons at 9.0:1 CR and domed ones that give 11.0:1. The TRD sc is made to not hurt the stock internals, but if I change the internals, then a turbo makes a lot more power. Tough choices, but a great problem to have! I love having a tuner's platform to work with!!!

RE: accord cams
 

i only say what i did cause if you goto any decent company that does cam regrinds or full billet cams if they actually have a clue and are using tested and proven designs youre going to get lifts and durations based on your application.... hence the reason i said what i did.... is it a good idea to research what you need? why yes... it is... cause you dont want to blindly assume that the guy youre going to knows whats going on.... and you could end up with a nice 360degree duration and a lift that destroys your valvetrain ^_^

RE: accord cams
 

^^^ my point exactly!!! ..... I'd just feel more comfortable with a design that has been replacated, tested and proven for the application.

RE: accord cams
 

my goal is just to be able to find a cam from an f23 engine....... i still have yet to find a junked out accord : o/ i would have had a cam with a turbo grind for the last 4 months had i found one
