Cam Gear Feeler thread ... formerly GoldenEagle ACG round 2

[labeledsk8r]

im interested in one of these but i kinda want to know how well they work before i get put on a preorder list or anything (dont wana have to back out on anyone) Whens the cut off date for takeing orders? ima need to set aside some money ahead of time, and whats the power gain outa a cam such as this (sorry im a noob)

[b8er]

just to make it clear labeledsk8er, what he is selling isnt a cam , is a cam gear and like already mentiond it doesnt really 'ADD' any hp, it moves the power around in the rpm band for where it best suits your driving style, the only way i can see one of these 'adding' any hp is if its lighter which would reduce roationaly mass and stress on the motor but again, it basicly moves the power

[mkymonkey]

so when do we actually get a pic of this thing?

[2drSE-i]

not to mention hes only writing your name down to purchase IF this is the right product. he doesnt expect anyone to pay for junk.

... If there are 42 teeth on the cam shaft there should be 21 teeth on the crank (42 cam / 21 crank = 2/1 <-- 2:1 ratio)...

Has anyone attempted to swap both the cam and crank gears, to maintain a 2:1 ratio, but be able to use more common adjustable cam gears? It would probably be more work than its worth (probably cheaper to just buy a A20 cam gear, even if its a $130 golden eagle one), but its an idea.

[2drSE-i]

interesting, i dont think it has occured to anyone. but your probly right, wudnt be worth it most likely

se-i coupe or sedan?

Sedan. It should be a manual sedan by Christmas, I hope.

So... Anybody know what's going on with either one of these cam gears?

[phrenology]

So... Anybody know what's going on with either one of these cam gears?

GE group buy...don't ask me. As for the Volution cam gears read the other thread and be patient. I will update you on the other thread as I have info.

[labeledsk8r]

i knew it was a cam gear (typeing and no sleep great combo) but yeah my fault, wouldent gains be posible (if on a allready modded engine) due to the fact of retarding or advanceing the timeing? or is that still just being able to udjust the power band within the RPM range, but again if im putting this onto my stock a20 there wont be noticable gain corect. i dont want to be put on the list till i know i have the funds, i trust the guy and his word and his word was that he would instal,test, and etc. the part before selling. sorry about the length and the fact that im still learning this. thanks

What effect do the cam gears have on your mpg?

It looks like they adjust your timing belt, will this cause any problems such as rough idle, timing belt life decrease?

[88Accord-DX]

I think Adjustable CAM SPROCKET is more appropriate for this thread.

[bobafett]

why? do people not understand what a cam gear is? lol

[88Accord-DX]

It don't matter what you call it, sure people know what it is. Mechanics see gears different than a sprocket. No harm ...
Defintions basically mean the same thing.

Sprocket - 1 : a toothed wheel whose teeth engage the links of a chain.

Gear - 6 a (1) : a mechanism that performs a specific function in a complete machine <steering gear> (2) : a toothed wheel (3) : working relation, position, order, or adjustment <got her career in gear> b : one of two or more adjustments of a transmission (as of a bicycle or motor vehicle) that determine mechanical advantage, relative speed, and direction of travel.

[bobafett]

meh... true... either way works.

im just ready for pics!

[b8er]

diddo

[2drSE-i]

i get mine after you do boba, so moi aussi

how multicultural of me

[bobafett]

[2drSE-i]

im ready for pictures as well lol

[Acidbath88accordlx]

Now That I found the right thread...

[mkymonkey]

ok, where are my

PICTURES???!!!!!?!?!one!!!

i want to see what this shit look like

[1987HondaAccord]

correct me if i'm wrong, but i think they may still have to be made. it maybe be a custom run that Volution is doing for these gears. It may be a while before you get your pictures.

[paso100]

THIS IS NOT THE VOLUTION CAM GEAR that Phrenology is getting.
This is a pic of the Golden Eagle gear that some of us have and MIGHT be available.
Just posting for a comparison when Phrenology gets a photo of the Volution gear.

[mkymonkey]

cool......that looks awesome, what sucks is if this falls through none of us will get cam gears...

[Swap_File]

Here is what I have found out about the new cheaper cam gears so far.

It looks like user "onefastassinteg" on ebay has been selling the "CAM GEAR Honda 2.0 SOHC" on ebay in 10 packs for around $120 to $130. Here are two of his auctions:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=4581668551
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=4579382645

Both auctions show the gear as having 42 teeth in the picture, but then I checked his other auctions, and he has been selling H22 gears with the identical pictures:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=8002413601

Then I checked out the ebay user "gettnitdone". He won a 10 pack of the cam gears, and is selling them on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=8008715649

The picture shows a box that says CP012, and the gear in the picture has 40 teeth (from my counting). This agrees with what "onefastassinteg" said on his auction (but not with his pictures). This means they would be the wrong gear for us. If they are 40 tooth, does anyone know what 2.0L SOHC Honda Accord/Prelude engine would use it?

I have not seen one of these gears in person, and do not know of anyone on Preludepower who has yet either. Hopefully someone will report back on what they find. It would be awesome if they ended up being the correct item.
