Obx Camshafts????

[crabby760]

i got the problem fixed... my timing was off 40 degrees retarded... off 2 teeth... now its rite on timing.. and it pulls HARDER THEN stock and its all set at 0 rite now can't wait to start adjusting... this cam is good


anyone know any good adjustment points for my distributor and cam gear?... any good settings that u've seen on a single cam

I wouldnt mess with the cam timing personally and if so no more than a few degrees just because every time I see dyno charts where the car was tuned, and its a DOHC they never have both cams set the same, I usually even see intake advanced a couple and exhaust retarded a couple. wouldnt hurt to try out different settings though, be careful not to overtighten/strip the cam gear when adjusting it if you do it alot, also how maty bolts hold the gear together on the OBX one. ignition timing Ive heard advancing it is more for low end and retarding it helps high RPM's. never really did back to back runs with both settings though to see if Id notice a difference.

true if i advance my ignition timing what should i do with my cam gear timing? retard or should i advance that also?

just to shed a little light on the Z6 and Y8 cams. the stock specs r different, but crower's oem replacements and stage 1-3 r all spec'd identical. so this cam, if it really was made by crower and sold w/ the OBX name, was made for u'r engine. no worries there. glad to hear u got it running good. by the way, how much did u pay?

it cost me 75 bux my valve clicking is still louder then stock... just curious as to why this would be?

what kind of oil are you using?

[crabby760]

i dont know.. i jsut bought the car 1 month ago and he just changed it like 1 week before that... he said it was mobil 1 synthetic...

[94tegRS]

cam was only 75 bucks?

[crabby760]

nah hell nah cam was 200 shipped.... the 75 bux was to adjust the vavles and redo my timing...

[crabby760]

is there a certain oil i should switch to ?

[94tegRS]

ok I was thinking that was hella cheap. but I wasnt sure. Id still be using what your car calls for. which im not sure but probably is 5w30

[97CivicX]

no certain oil, mobil 1 is one of the best out there anyway. just that a thicker or thiner oil will help to reduce the valve tap. for the life of me i cant think right now which one it is though.

[94tegRS]

thicker oil usually will quiet noises but dont go too thick or the pump will have a real; hard time getting it everywhere.

my friends supra had a rod-knock and we put a bit of hyper-lube (thick as cold honey) in there and the sound went away, of course as the problem got worse the sound came back and everntually it needed rebuilding but just shows you what noises you can mask with some thick shit.

today i installed a autometer air/fuel gauge... i can't get the bitch to work it just stays allt he way on RICH rite when i turn the car on it shoots from red through yellow all the way to green then from there on it STAYS at green the last tick on green....

i tried allt he wires on the o2 sensor

and after i installed it my fucking speedometer JUmPS AROUND when i drive it....
ANY IDEAS

[crabby760]

also i can't figure out where to adjust my camgear and distribuotor at..

cause when i i advance them both... the car pulls nice in low eend but lacks in the top end

then when i retard it... it lacks in the low wend but pulls int he TOP
