Changing cam...!!??

Hey, I've got a 1.5 and tomorrow I'm taking the cam out and putting an Si one in! Anyone try it or know anyone who did???

http://www.quickhonda.net/index2.htm they have info on camshaft removal/replacement. they also have the helm's manual. use the garage link on the left

Hey thanks for the link! My b/f and I changed the cam today! I must say there is a little bit of a difference! Not a major change but you can definitely feel a little more acceleration. It only took us about an hour to do also! The cam was out of a 91 CRX Si. Just need to get an Si tranny and eventually do the dpfi to mpfi swap!! :D

jer busted my cam so jer had to replace my cam ;) i wasn't there for that one :( but i hear it was pretty quick and easy.

you'll love the Si tranny!!!!

yes, you will LOVE the si tranny!! i loved mine once i got mine in, i did the WHOLE si conversion...everything from the rear hatch domelight to the sunroof to the seats...lol

What's different about the Si rear domelight?? Mine is the same as my b/f's rear domelight in his CRX Si.

its in the back of the hatch not on the roof, it provides little light i think, i never use it, maybe i should take it out and sell it:)

well, he had a REALLY bad day. so he thought going outside in the dark at 9-10 pm would be a great idea to clear his head. i have no idea how me managed to do it but he didn't ge the dizzy back on right. started the car and the first crank busted the little ears things off the cam.

talk about bent out of shape! i about had a heart attack. it was only 12,000 miles old. luckily jon ([email protected]) was able to get me a 25,000 mile one for $30. that guy rules for parts. in 3 years i haven't requested 1 thing he couldn't get :ylsuper

Yeah, I have one in mine. I didn't think there was a difference between the Si and DX models. Just the color of the switch button thingy.

:) when u put the new si one in it may fit or should i say it should fit. ive heard of it done i was gonna do it to mine at a time. but just make sure you adjsust your timeing correctly and you do a valve adjustmentt before anything. good luck on that

Yeah, after we did the cam we did the timing and adjusted the valves. An adjustable timing gear would be the opt thing for me to get at this time!
