Dexter Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Any experiences or recommendations about adjustable cam gears for B18C4? I'm changing the cam belt soon and thought this might be a good opportunity for an upgrade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Really, no one? At the moment i'm think about these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Skunk2-Cam-Gears-Pro-Series-Black-90-01-Integra-DOHC-B16-B17-B18-B20-H23A1-2-Pcs-/221181001619 Skunk2 has other engine goodies that look tempting too so this might be a good way to start. I'm going to the states in late June so IF i can wait for that long, i'll save shipping & import tax and with the cheaper retail price save a total of 100€ compared to buying from the EU!

Grant Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Defo skunk2 I'd have said. Not sure what the gains are in having then though aside from aesthetic. Unless your skiing for a highly tuned engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Have a look at Jake's EG project, he's just had his B18C4 mapped with ITR cams and a few other bits at just over 190bhp! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean this one i guess? http://civic5.com/forum/index.php?/topic/5799-kinks-eg-project/page-23 Yes that's pretty imperssive, something to aim for. Ordered the skunks, will be fitted in 2 weeks.

Guest Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I would sway away from an ebay seller unless they're a gold seller or shop because there are some fake skunk2 can gears around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Guy who tuned my car said if I had adjustable cam gears I could have more low down power.. but always a sacrifice it would loose else wear. So I guess the standard timing is good for top end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
