Does anyone know where I can order a set of custom cams for my D17A1 (yes a LX) I want to see if it is possible to put in more aggressive cams nothing too extreme.

thanks, oh and if anyone is going to flame me for wanting to put cams on a LX I just want to be different, and I do plan on running Nitro next year.

I think you can have some reground for diff specs. But custom ones from blanks would be quite spendy i would think.

Where do I start...geez.

1.) We have a SOHC motor , that meens our engine only using one camshaft.
2.) Wtf is nitro? It's properly called nitrous oxide.
C.) Being different doesn't meen wasting time and money. Start off on a proper platform, VTEC > Non-VTEC. Crower makes a cam for the D17A2 and it has been tested/proven to make power.
4.) Good Luck!

5.) Stay the Fvck away from DH-Racing.

well first off I do not have a A2, that is why I ask about a A1, I am glad that you were able to figure out what nitro means, I do not know why you asked because I do not feel like typing out the whole word because I did not think I was dealing with a bunch of dumbasses that could not figure out what that meant. Finally I am well aware what SOHC means. So next time you try and flame make sure it makes a bit more sense.

why stay away form DH-Racing. I have delt with him and he is great and i would do business with him all the time

Let me school you:

1.)Read all his threads..
2.)Hate/Love DH-Racing

There's a reason he's banned from the site and why so manny "old" members hate him, including me.

Cliff notes:
DH-Racing tried to sell us a claimed hp producing parts.. such parts did not fit or needed spacers to be put on. Some guys went all out with full motors that ended up being crap. So much going on with them you don't know about. That WAS a long time ago so its hard to say how your stuff will come out. Read up on how they used to be. BTW, DHRacing Josh isnt with DH anymore he now owns his own company called Fully Built (SRT4s). Dave Hickman is the devil. ENJOY!

yea ive also read that dh racing sucks so much *****. but ive never bought anything from them so im good. and also, the only way i can think of on getting a custom camshaft for the LX is by regrinding it. if you search aroun dfor regrinding camshaft you should read something about its not good for the car. the best way to do this is by getting a A2 block and just get a crower camshaft. to me thats the smartest thing to do but if you want to be different then go ahead.

I spoke with the guys at crower today and they will be able to regrind it for only $168 not bad

hmm...i guess so. get it done and put it on. lets see how it is.

gude can also do the package for you of a bored tb, headwork and cam regrind for under $1200. there have only been a few posts about it and i was going ot do it a while ago but i couldnt find out anyone here that has delt with them. they have good gains on othr cars and bill gude told me to expect a 40whp gain but i never followed through

 
Rep Power: 314

Pluse the cost of the cam!

 
Rep Power: 302

wheres this place located at?

 
Rep Power: 303

they are in riverside (socal) wheni spoke to bill gude he has very helpful. i have heard a bunch of good and like 2 bad stories. but i guess that goes for any tuner.

here is the specs on the a2 cam he makes. it looks pretty aggressive if you ask me


PART NO: HCCS19
DESCRIPTION: Good mid to top.
POWER BAND 4500 RPM. to 8000 RPM.
IDLE: Good
SPECIFICATIONS: Intake LIFT - .448 DURATION - 281
Exhaust LIFT - .408 DURATION - 276

 
Rep Power: 314

these number seem WAY different then the crower cam!

01-02 HONDA CIVIC 1.7L

PART NO: HCCS18
DESCRIPTION: Pulls hard top end.
POWER BAND 3800 RPM. to 7500 RPM.
IDLE: Good
SPECIFICATIONS: Intake LIFT - .388 DURATION - 228
Exhaust LIFT - .407 DURATION - 220

Way different!

 
Rep Power: 303

YEAH THOSE ARE THE LX/A1 NUMBERS. IT SEEMS TO BE WAY MORE AGGRESSIVE OF A CAM. HE CLAIMS GOOD NUMBERS WITH THEM. HE SAYS WITH THE HEAD PACKAGE CAM AND T/B ITS LIEK A 40WHP GAIN. THIS IS WHAT MADE ME SKEPTICAL BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE MADE ANYWHERE NEAR THAT POWER WITH THE CROWER CAMS. BUT THE NUMBERS SHOW WHY AS WELL

 
Rep Power: 314

Sorry I trust crowers specs WAY more then the "cali shop" specs...

crower specs are WAY lower....

 
Rep Power: 303

its just a much more aggressive cam man. and crower didnt r&d a ported head with theirs so i dont see a reason why a head with a larger cfm couldnt support a larger cam. he replaces the springs and all form what i understand. he is a reputable tuner and has been around for years. he does all work inhouse. he is no crower but he has thousands of happy customers.

thanks you i fell the same way about the dumbasses on here

 
Rep Power: 266

so the gude package is for a lx? cam , ported and t/b ? all for N/A ? hmmm.... what is the price he gave you? the bore on the t/b? is the cam a regrind? how long has this been availible?....and my last question.. can the t/b be made for an auto? it has a different wiring the t/b that is, correct? thanx guys i cant wait to hear more and you dont have to tell me my auto sucks i know...and working on that

 
Rep Power: 303

quote was for under $1200. that included a PnP head with race grind valves, regrind cam with valve springs, ported t/b he claims 40whp gain 140whp. this is listed for an lx or ex from what i understand

 
Rep Power: 266

ok few more q's is it street drivable? i supply head for port and cam for regrind or no? what kind of ecu changes are needed... i.e. would i have to get a stand alone with complete tune or could you get off buying a emanage and still getting a decent running car or can it run untuned for a while? and thank you for all the info familycar

 
Rep Power: 314

they dont mess with "the 7th gen" ECU...^

 
Rep Power: 303

it is very streetable from what he says. it has a good idle and yes you would supply the cam and head and t/b for the work to be done on. he doesnt have any way to edit the ecu to tune. he says that you shouldnt have any problems with dirvability at all. eventually if wanted a good tune form emanage would probably help produce more power. give him a call and see waht he has to say. it would probably help your decision to talk to him directly and ask any questions rather than me relaying our conversation. he is a good guy and is easy to talk to.

DH racing F*&^ed me hard. If I had know they were still around I would have posted up sooner. The reason you have not heard bad things about them is because most of us moved on to bigger and better things after dealing with all the limitations of a D17.

Does anyone know who has the built D17 that was built for me? I was wondering if it even ran once it was installed.
