I've desided to do a build on a 5S-FE out of curiousity as to how much power I can get out if it ... right now the plans are for an N/A build. I was having trouble finding cams for the engine and upon search the forum, it seems that Webcams are basically my old choice. Is this correct? Do I really have to pay over $700 for a set of cams? I'm so used to Honda's ... do you have any idea what kind of cams I can buy with $700+ for a B-series Honda? Is this my only option for cams?

QUOTE (richee3 @ May 31, 2012 - 5:05 PM)  For that money, you can buy a spare set of cams from a junk 5S and sent them out to Crower Cams or any other reputable company and they'll do a basic regrind for you, equivalent to the Webcams grind. When I was in touch with Crower, they quoted me $11/lobe for a regrind. There has also been a lot of talk about Colt Cams lately, though I didn't keep up with that thread to see the final results. 11 a lobe? How much in total with labor? Id take my webcams out and swap them with the Crower's if it was cheaper --------------------  1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |
