272... the guys at delta are the shit. Gave me the shirt for free, and didnt even kno i was getting the calender or stickers.

it was 82 and some change for all of it. lol I love them now.

**turabaka** · 01-08-2009, 03:52 PM

Nice man. I'm thinking of getting one of those after my next paycheck. Tell us what kinda of power gains you get with it after the install.

**Tdurr** · 01-08-2009, 03:57 PM

Yea sure will. I was actually planning on getting it dyno'ed, but ran out of money for a before + after. Ill just have a after at some point.

**turabaka** · 01-08-2009, 04:05 PM

I wish we had a dyno here, but I think all we have are engine dynos which doesn't really help me if the engine is still in the damned car.

**Tdurr** · 01-08-2009, 04:34 PM

lol drive down to ga. we got a good bit around.

**turabaka** · 01-08-2009, 05:15 PM

lol. I just did a google search for "boise dyno" and found a shop that has a dyno less than a mile from my house. hehe. So I guess this spring I'll be going to get my numbers.

**Tdurr** · 01-08-2009, 05:33 PM

**Demon1024** · 01-08-2009, 11:11 PM

$82? hell yeah! i know what i'm getting now! how long? a month?

**rjudgey** · 01-09-2009, 03:06 AM

Camshaft:
If you can get the A20A3/4 exhaust header or Pacesetter one with a 2-2.25" madrel bent system on it with either a hi flo cat or bypass pipe, and if you can get to the jets on the carb drill them out a little to increase the air to fuel ratio then you'll hit some decent numbers, if you can mod the carb with some countersunk screws in the butterflies if i remember correctly the honda carb has some god awefull round head screws that take up half the choke area!! If your allready running a weber then just jet it correctly and you'll see the best gains with a 38/38 especially at the top end!!

**snoopyloopy** · 01-09-2009, 03:44 PM

man, makes me want to get off my ass and do my tb and throw in my acg and camshaft. oh the laziness.

yea its 72.xx change and 11bucks to ship it to Ga. Hopefully this time next week the butt dyno will be able to tell you if its really good or not. Ill prob run my friends civic after i break it in lol....

and ^^do ur TB as in??

**lostforawhile** · 01-09-2009, 07:02 PM

make sure you coat the entire thing in engine assembly lube before you start it. try to find molly based stuff. wouldn't want a scratch on these nice lobes. is it made from a core? if it's from a different engine make sure you plastigage the bearings ,well the bearing caps,to make sure the oil clearance is right.

Honestly i dono if they are reground, or from another car, i called ordered, and gonna ship them the core once its swapped.
Didnt think to do all that extra stuff u said. Only was gonna cover the whole thing in lube lol. I went through my recepts and it looks like my motor is a honda rebuilt/reman that got rebuilt. lol so im guessing ill be fine. I have do look at the dates on stuff tho..

and yea i have a lxi btw. no carb for me.

**Rendon LX-i** · 01-09-2009, 10:55 PM

I just told em what i had. they asked me what mods i have done and the said a 272 stage 2 and the next day it was at my house.i didnt have to send in my core or all that. had no probs putting it in at all. like murshomtoy said i dont think they do all that other bs.

**Tdurr** · 01-09-2009, 11:50 PM

^^ they told me u get 20 bucks back if u send in ur core so 60 bucks for a solid 10 hp and some tq im down lol.

**mushroom_toy** · 01-10-2009, 12:05 AM

Actually you just spend $60 dollars on something for me. Im so happy Tim....you know you need to donate to the needy....

never hurts to be careful,especially with engine stuff. ALWAYS check engine bearing clearances with something like that, people do make mistakes . not often but it happens. takes a few minutes to put the plastgage on, torque the caps,untorque and read it. it's cheap insurance, been machine stuff to clearances of a thousaneth of an inch for years, it can be off by just .0001 and destroy your cam,and the aluminum caps. if you know how to read a mike ,mike everything first before it goes in, and use the plastigage to check the oil clearance. also if you destroy the bearings caps, the head is junk. the caps are line bored while torqued to the head,you can't swap on others unless you are able to have them re linebored. can't mix them up eithier. how that works,is they rough machine each cap and the bearing bores, then all the caps are torqued, the head is installed in a jig,and a precision boring tool goes all the way through the caps from one end to another. this makes sure they are perfectly aligned to each other and to the centerline of the head. something to think about when you install a new cam, just take your time,check everything twice and you'll be fine. honda build these old engines to extremly high precision, almost like every one was a race engine. this is why they still run like new when an american engine of this vintage is on it's last legs.
