Haha, god damn huh.
Not sure if I can actually recommend you buying one, but hey if you want to go for it.
Also, mine is not for sale at the moment.
what whats wrong with them mine runs fine
You LOSE horsepower if you adjust it. It might help an engine that has had the head and block decked down quite a bit.
mine seems fine
The dyno don't lie!
This ending up like the last cam gear thread and I'm not joking about needing one hahahahahahahahahahaha! my head and deck are milled down and need to reposition the cam for top dead center. it sits about one tooth out of position no matter which way i adjust the factory cam gear, for and aft. I'm running megasquirt on my car and believe it is messing up my ignition timing. please help. yes the 3gee runs on megasquirt!
I agree...NOT on did roach lose power...even MESSY lost power im like damn. lucky mine was set at 0....it just looks cool or if your boost i may help...if you obd1. you can control your timming you dont need a adjustable cam gear. you lose over 20hp im like DAMN....DYnoJet didnt lie thats for sure.

she dude...you should attend are next meet forsure?

Yea I did lose power, a lot.
I don't know if you really need it, like you say josh maybe for boost but other then that I'm not sure the advantage.
Oh well.. good to know.
That's rad dude. Cygnus is running an A20 Prelude on Megasquirt. You should post up a pic thread. If your head and deck are milled down that much, yeah you might need one. Did you check the for sale threads? There might be one in there. Usually someone is getting rid of theirs.That's about the only way you can get one is used through someone. There aren't any in production. You might be able to get one made, but it might cost a bit.
Roach, I can't remember how much power you lost?
I have a spare, PM me.

when is bisimoto gonna actually release the cam gear they said they were going to release last month?
Lostforawhile:we have to pick on him he's CAH he spray painted himself into this corner with the accord.
yeah i lost almost 20whp when mine slipped and retarted the timing couple degrees...i set mine back at zero and i got better mpg on the way back...im back to around 29mpg
1989 Honda Accord LX-i
B18c1 swap since 7/2011
175whp and 132tq
Redzone tuned
The dyno told roach and messy they lost 20 at the wheels...im like PHUCK

operator error guys...
stop telling people you lose hp with a acg,when used properly that is simply not the case. If you have had your head shaved, have a cam other than stock, have modified pistons, or compression chamber., and yes decked block.. you can gain torque and hp as well as match those rpm curves to your final drive ratio according to desired purpose of the car.
As with any parts you put on your car that "increase" performance, that percentage of gain depends on other modifications. Another example is headers, they typically advertise 5 to 15 percent gains, well those gains are multiplied with other modifications, like if you had head P&P you would pick up more power with a better flowing exhaust over OEM with the same P&P mod. Hence 5 percent on a stock head, and up and over 20 percent on the modified head with the same header (not including the percentage gained by the head mod) note these are just example numbers to make my point.

Not sure on the bisimoto cam gear. He said over two months ago that it would be next month.
I think you're right. I think the question becomes, how much milling between the block and head is necessary before the cam gear is needed. Roach's car had headwork, some milling and a cam, IIRC. I mean he had a pretty decent mild build, 129whp = ~150bhp. And the cam gear was unnecessary...operator error guys...

I do not doubt roach's circumstances at all, but true ...what specifications would apply. My point is the statement acg are inefffective would not be true across the board.
not needed if your obd1 since you can time it on the tune.....just a pretty dress up thingy

doesn't obd1 only mess with the ignition timing. the cam gear is to adjust the cam timing, not ignition timing.
