I was told I have Auto cams in my motor , what does this meen?

Are my cams out of an automatic?

He told me that hey have more of a VTEC pop.. ?

Im lost, never heard of this before....?

anyone?

 

I have seen no part number proof, but have heard a lot of rumours that auto SiR/RSi/XSi B16A and SiR-G B18C cams have a weaker cam profile to go easier on the typically weak Honda automatic transaxles.

 

so... what does that meen? I have stock automatic cams in my motor?

 

You prolly have the automatic engine

 

What is the block serial number? If I recall correctly, 5 million series engines came from Integras (XSi/RSi) and could have originally been mated to an automatic trans. Without knowing the previous history of the engine, it's difficult to tell.

If you are really paranoid about it, swap in some B17A1 or B18C1 GS-R cams. Both are more aggressive then first gen B16A cams and can be had cheap.

 

Where is the Serial number at? All I know is it is a JDM B16A, he said its from a Integra.

 

on the block, below the engine code.

 

hmm... umm... really? Well.. I dont have one then....

 

Thats not good... If its scratched off that can only mean one thing... Its probably stolen...

Your engine code should look similar to this...

 

Ok, I just went out and wiped off the road grime (needs to be detailed, bad..)code is 5012106, what can you tell me>?
