zex cams and flywheel

[geisi13]

ok so i was looking around online last night and came across some zex cams anda zex flywheel, the flywheel isa lightweight only weighing 6.7lbs now i was thinking zex cams might be good for me since im runniong boost and a dry zex nitrous system. any opinions good or bad? if not zex where to look. this engine has to be solid, i dont want anything left out when i put this together, i want it all done.

what motor? i did the zex(comp)cam on my d16y8 stage 2, with port n polish and 5 angle valve job w/ swirl valves...not bad....spank on si's and gsr's..didnt do a fly wheel buy prolly will after stage 2 exedy clutch..but if u do stage 2 cam...u need valve springs too

i have d16y5 that im swapping the ex head on hopefully soon, but im gonna get it ported polish and get an angled valve job done to first, im gonan go with the best cam i can, i want top notch i dont want to have to change it again. im not worried about the money i wil save till i have enough if it comes to that, i dont want to settle for less. im gonna be working two jobs here pretty soon to support my sohc fund.

yeah, couple of us think that the zex 2 cam is just like the skunk 2 cam...just cheaper, but u need valve springs...retainers r optional

if your motor is boosted you don't want lopey cams.

ok i found a y8 head that im gonna get like next week and its gona be ported and polished with an angled valve job, my car isnt boosted yet but i do have all the stuff i need to turbo, its jsut itting ina box in the corner of my room with all the rest of my parts, i plan on getting everything im gonna get then doing it all at once, what should i get for top end parts for my head, the bottom end too, cause when i take the old head off i might as well do the bottme end while its apart. ill just have to drive my other car for a few weeks while everything is apart

what has that set up cost you so far. what kind of hp do you think you are running.
sounds nice though

Skunk2 makes turbo cams, don't know if they have any for a D motor though. Comp Cams might make a set of turbo cams for your motor. Other than that you will have to upgrade your valve train.

For your block forged pistons, rods and new sleeves. There are a bunch of different companies out there that offer each, just need to know what your budget is.

my budget is good, if its alot ofmoney ill just save till i get enough, im gonna be working 2 jobs here soon so ill be bringing home around 1500 a week and 1200 of it can go to my car. so i just need to know what to get i want the best of everything, i dont want to skip over somthing cause i only want to build this engine once.

i spent about 280 on the cam, 230 on comp valve springs, and about 500 on a new head with port and polish, and labor was done in house at a shop i work at, its ohk, i dunno about horse's, but i smoked a 93hb with a si swap in it
