you guys have been answering my questions lately and i apreciate it...so0o...
heres another for u guys.....do cam gears make a noticable difference????? Do i have to change my timing belt too???? what exactly happens wen u change them from stock to aftermarket?????
thanx

 

well..... suposedly if you get an aftermarket cams it has higher lift which lets the valves stay open longer which makes more power..... and you dont need a new timing belt if you get one to the best of my knowledge..... cause otherwise that would suck..... but you might need to adjust the timing.... not sure... :0

 

Cam gears allow you to adjust your intake and exhaust cam timing independently......They are useless on a stock motor, but can be benifitial on a motor that has some head work done.....I wouldn't bother with them on stock cams...You also need to tune them on a dyno.

 

pointless on a mild motor. Worth time if you have a well built motor and a tuner who knows what they are doing

 

so is upgrading the cam good on a SOHC stock D16y8?

 

NO

 

so for his d16 changing his cams from stock to aftermarket.....it wouldn't help him and he wounldnt benifit AT ALL?????

 

not on a stock motor, as he stated.

Stock meaning no intake manifold, port work, valvesprings, or ecu tuning.

Cams don't do shit without the proper supporting mods

 

so if I were starting right now....to build a sohc monster.... where would i start....like wat performance parts would u buy first????

 

I have a JDM B16 I/H/E and msd. I'm going to change my timing belt soon so I could just change my cam gears since its right there and set the settings to 0 and 0?
