cam for J30A4?
 

Is there a camshaft available to help increase HP in my J30A4? Will a cam from a different model car work or are there aftermarket ones?

What about catalytic convertors or bypasses? I live in Indiana and dont have inspections....

Exhaust that doesnt cost 600 dollars or sound like a "fart can"?

Sorry for all the questions, but Im new to Honda cars...

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

Cam: they should be available, if not then a decent machine shop can change the cam angles for you

Cat converters, plenty available or just get a good piece of flex pipe and remove the cat altogether....

Exhuast: Apexi World Sport II is a great sound or Flowmaster makes a LOUD exhaust that's not fart-canish either....

Welcome to the forum and keep em coming!

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

For a cat, try Random Technologies. They have a pretty good selection, and if they dont have one for your car, you should be able to find a universal cat that will work.

Apexi WS2 is really quiet, but its a nice hp boost. There are a few people on here who have it and love it. You might also try a Greddy Evo 2. Its pretty loud, but not ricey loud.

Arghhh.....Apexi WS2 mufflers for 7th gens are only for coupes![:@]

Any good solid exhaust options for the 7th gen 4 CYL 4DR?

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

there are some 7th gen owners who prefer borla over apexi w2

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

You could always just buy the muffler and have a shop do a custom mandrel bent piping job for ya.

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

Yeah....that's what I plan on doing. Say, what's the difference between these two mufflers? I know one says TURBO, the other NA. My car does not have a turbo...but can I still use it? Ones a 60 mm inlet, the other an 80mm (turbo)

How much would the mandrel piping cost?

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

You can still use the 80mm inlet one, it just means you will need 80mm pipe the whole way back. Its going to reduce backpressure quite a bit, maybe more than you want with a naturally aspirated engine.

Im also curious as to what it would cost to get mandrel bent pipe at a shop. I have been meaning to call around to some local shops and get a rough idea, but...Im lazy lol.

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

then 60mm it is...hey poser, if you have any suggestions go to my "EGAD" thread...I don't wanna hijack this thread any longer.

thanks! :)

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

03 sleeper, i say forget a turbo, slap a k20 head on there if you wanna go turbo and mess with the internals to get added power. N/A ftw!

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

Comeon, turbo is cliche. ;)

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

Right... *laughs*

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

forced induction is the only way to create massive power out of a smaller displacement engine... u want NA power go for a 454 big block or osmething

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

I'll wait for the prices to come down...especially that the 8th gen is rolling out soon. Perhaps I can find prices that the current 5th/6th gen offer.

EDIT- To stay on topic, make sure you replace your valvetrain if you want really nice gains from your camshaft. As I said before, I need to wait a bit for the prices...Skunk2 acutally made Stage1,2,3 camshafts for the K20, K24 series.

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

yeh dont listen to 03 the stock head on a K24 dont have proper oil flow to maintain the lubrication needed for stronger springs... ur stock springs work just fine to just under 9400 RPM so stock is fine... if u are going to do anything titanium or sodium filled valves are great... (just dont drop the sodium ones)

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

Just going along what the Skunk2 website said:

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

skunk 2 barely has anything for the K20/K24 i realy dont trust there R&D at the moment this info comes from Hondata if u do wanna upgrade ur oiling system u can install 2 custom spray bars in the valve cover to apply more oil (this is what i plan on doing) and then u can run titanium valves spring and a cam and be fully safe for well over 10K

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

thanks for the help on the cat and exhaust....

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

Hondata doesn't make anything for the 7th gens....do they?

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

they tune Kseries... they have the best EMS for a K series... they know the K in and out because they have to tune them... they probably know more about creating power from a K then black trax and Skunk 2 put together...

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

I know the RSX (k20) engine is similar to the accord (k24) engine...but there's a difference, no?

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

^ hondata can tune the accord, just that i believe you have to get the rsx ecu and something else I forgot.

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

Doesn't help me...I have an automatic. :-/
