Sup guyz, juz want to say hi to all of the accorders. This site is nice!!! I drive a 5th gen accord with some bolt ons, i will post some pics when my digi is working again. btw, i have some ques for u guyz


First of all, i want to put some pullies and cam gears in my car.... ar they worth?? (any gains??)

i head that the aem pullies are bad for the 6th gens.... any problems with the 5th gen?? or i should juz get the UR pullies? (want to make sure that is problem free)

For cam gears, i only know aem.... any other good choices???

Also, i drive a accord LX (non-vtec) and i want to get a air/fuel controller for apexi.... i know there are 2 kinds for it... one with vtec contoller and one don't... i am juz wondering will the one with vtec controller work on my accord as only an a/f controller? (since i can get a lower price on the one with vtec).

lastly, i am goin to get some new tires for winter soon.... i heard that if i only put 2 new winter/all season tires in the front and two old all season ones at the back is unsafe, is that true??? also, have u guyz have any experience with the kumho 771 (all season) or kw7400 (winter) tires?? i live in vancouver, which tire should i pick?? (these tires will be used in the winter only) thanks in advance and sorry for the number of ques.

 

I am looking into purchasing the SKunk2 cam gear. it is better then AEM i have been told because it is a 6 bolt pattern not 3 so it will not have much slippage at all. I am also going to get a set of aem pullys. should be done by thanksgiving. I heard the only thing is that you need to get it dyno so you can have the proper adjusment setting.

 

i have a skunk2 cam gear and pulleys. i had them put in when i changed my timing belt and water pump. not much of a noticeable difference. my mechanic also hooked me up with a smaller p/s pump pulley from a legend i havent had any dyno time for the pulley as i dont drive the accord and more

anyway, now when my stereo hits really loud/low notes, my car almost stallls (then again, im running 1500watts rms).

 

poor, poor battery...but 1500w rms, i like :thumbup:

 

I've also got a Skunk2 cam gear. With proper adjustment it should give you some power gains. It took off two tenths so far on my quarter mile. So I'm guessing it works pretty well. Plus it has a six screws/bolts which decrease the chance of slippage.

I'm thinking about getting some pullies as well... just dunno if they are worth it.

 

hey where do u have your cam gear set? did u dyno it to find the right setting? i figure i could just try your setting to see if theres any difference

 

man just take your power steering belt off. drivng w/o power sterrign gives you more power then pulleys would. i noticed a diffrence. and its not even hard to drive w/o it.

 

tell me where this instant horsepower lies...

i want to know how to take off my power steering belt (for race)...

...and hopefully another tutorial on how to put it back on...:thumbup:

 

I've got mine set at negative two degrees. I didn't use a dyno, just compared results from track times. It's not a very accurate way to determine power gains... but if it took off two tenths, I'm happy. Although you won't really feel it just driving on the street. just play around with it. good luck.
