Cams???

[mandm608]

hey guys i'm new to honda ha, so i wanted to know is there any performance cams for a 89 prelude si???

[mysticskyline]

Checkout jcwhitney.com, they have some.

[mysticskyline]

Also try andysautosport.com and summitracing.com.

[mandm608]

yo thanx but i have already checked those they only got my cam gears ha, does anyone know if they make skunk2 camshafts for my 89 lude si?

[Prelude13]

Yes they have some performance cams for your motor, im assuming you have a 2.0 Si with the b20a5 correct? not the b20a3 carb'd.

If so, if you can source yourself some b18b intake cam and a b21a1 exhast cam, you will be golden. The b18b will need a regrind.
Steve, motoxxxman, my personal friend over at Pp.com has a 'COLT cams' group buy going on.

The camshaft on jcwhitney.com is made by lunati(never heard of), but claims to make 28 extra hp @ 5800 RPM and adds 25 ft/lbs. of torque @ 5800 RPM all for $200.

you're gonna have to look at that one again, if you look down at the bottom it says for a ford small block, i dont know why it comes up under prelude but it does, and if you notice the picture is only one cam with 16 lobes, which would most likely be for the 2v heads on a ford 289, 302, or 351

[mysticskyline]

Your right man, sorry. Eyes don't fail me now! That is pretty crazy, and wierd. Honda and ford, bad mix. More like honda beating on ford!

[91Si4WS]

haha yeah, i just didnt want mandm608 to pay 200$ and get 1 ford smallblock cam instead of 2 B20 cams, but yeah i wonder if anybody has just went ahead and ordered that cam thinking they were getting honda cams? that would suck!

[mysticskyline]

Right on! I would hate it!

[mandm608]

yeah thats what i saw too the ford ****! can't stand american but ye thanx for lookin out ya'll and i'll definetly look up that stuff prelude13 thanx

[91Si4WS]

can't stand american? whats up with that? i have my passion for hondas, but there's always that love for the good old american muscle, like honestly i would give my left nut for a pristine 70 Boss 2 429, i cant say that about any honda's except maybe a NSX!

[ogsmakdade]

I wouldn't give up either of my nuts. are car is just a car lol

[91Si4WS]

haha, you only need one to reproduce, and they replace it with something to make it still look like you have 2 haha

[mysticskyline]

I would go for a 88 corvette 35th annivesary or 67 L88 convt. in marina blue.

[mandm608]

well i'm not saying old american is bad. that comment was more towards 72-present. i would like to have my self a 69 camaro ss ha but none of this giving a left nut lol. ok heres a question, should i stay wit the engine i got now or save for a h22 motor and swap them????

[ogsmakdade]

save for the H22. more worth it.

[Si Speed]

1. No car is worth either of my nuts.
2. I'll gladly accept a free, or cheap-for-me Saleen S7 anyday.
3. I agree with ogsmakdade. H22 has a lot more a/m support and makes more power.

[gearhead3g]

look up www.coltcams.com and send it a set of stock cams to have them reground. probably the best thing you can do. or get a crower regrind. if you use a b18b or b18a cam you need to have the grear end milled ever so slightly so bring a stock b20a* cam to mathc it up if yuo take it to a machine shop

[mysticskyline]

Go for the H22A, huge A/M support.

[gearhead3g]

why do people always make the h22 seem like the easier option? it really isnt. yea when youre done dishing out 1700 or so for the motor and tranny and hten you get the drive shafts put together and pay for an ecu conversion and the mounts then it may be. or you can pay 300-500 for some reground camshafts. now yes, the h22 will bring you more power then any cam you put in the b20/b21 but which one is more "reasonable" shall we say? no offense to anyone but im just a little tired of hearing bout the h22 and how its the only way to go wiht a 3rd gen

I agree, people degrade the B20's and B21's because they don't have all the right parts you can put on it. Or because they are underpowered compared to the H22's but still. Any motor can be just as good. Besides, when you pull up to a guy in an H22 and let's say you boosted your B2x's series engine or did some crazy mods and beat him and he says "Is that A Vtec?" Laugh at him and then pass him again :biggrin:

i was told tri flows are great cams for are cars
