yea its been a while since ive been in here. so im not sure if you guys talked about this yet but here it goes...

yea im planning on buying just a stage 1 camshaft because i dont feel like wasting my money on a stage 2. i just wanted to know how this thing performs and if it is worth the money?

Lot's of ppl love the stage 1 so go for it I don' t think you'll be dissappointed just don't expect more than 5-7hp if that.

what with all the cam & VAFC questions latley ron???^

in my oppinion NO its not worth it, I think the stage 2 is just barly worth the trouble.

like he said youll get 5 mabe 6 HP.

**** I got 5 HP off my VAFC with a tune...

Hear you go

STATS FOR CROWER CAMS!!!

the key is turbo, swap, or full build.

I don't know I guess everybodys warranties are over or something bc everyone seems to be modifying their cars. Either that or more ppl have more money to spend on car parts now that summer is over and they made the money they needed to make lol. Either way the more we buy the more companies like Dezod will make stuff for our cars. It's all about supply and demand (I was an Economics major lol).

someone did all n/a civic, keresy or someone like that. but thats the only one i remember.

 
Rep Power: 313

not fully rebuilt "yet"

there was a guy on hear named "keesy"

he had a "stage three" head. (cam, springs, retainers, valves)

I saw a vid...

sit was crazy. But he didnt have any engine managment...

So he just bounced off his 7000 RPM's rev limiter.

some people have the pistons but I dont know who...

doent "andyman" have some bottom internals???

 
Rep Power: 297

if he does its the 8:8:1 compression one for his turbo.

 
Rep Power: 313

hmmmm maybe not then...

Im sure tho some one on 7th gen has

the pistons...

they have to damn it!!!

 
Rep Power: 297

ask dezod they would know if they sold any.

 
Rep Power: 281

I think some company like kms or something like that make n/a pistons (10.5:1 compression ratio) for the d17 but as far as I know; nobody has n/a pistons on their ride. There were some threads about someone using civic GX 12.5:1 pistons on their vic but I don't wanna get into that and no it doesn't work lol.

 
Rep Power: 313

I thought dezod made them....

Im beging to think i was mistaken...

 
Rep Power: 281

King motor sports that was the company, but wicked expensive in my opinion. I also think they were the first to make the intake manifold for our cars too.

I don' t see the pistons anywhere but they still sell stuff for the d17. This site seems to be catered more to the rsx's though. Here it is never the less.

but I reped you for the link!

Rep Power: 313
