Performance parts list . 86-89 accord

In the drivetrain section, I noticed you did not mention anything about transmission upgrades/mods; gears, bearings, synchros, seals, etc. I am having trouble finding information about these things. Most people seem to recommend a gearbox swap, but they don't seem focused on component upgrades. Does this mean they don't exist? Does it mean stock components can already handle racing tolerances?

There isn't anything. Stock is what you get and those items are becoming harder to find. I've been looking in to a A2B adapter plate that was made it the past. Last known person with was Johnny O. He told me he sold it a long time ago and isn't sure who ended up with it. I did get some contact info for someone how may have made but haven't gotten a email back.

bisimoto stopped making all cam gears. Are there ANY others that would work for our cars?

[ShiRen]

They probably didnt stop making them. They make runs of them occasionally.
But no. You always have the option of degreeing your cam and maybe you will find you can move a tooth, if you want to move a few degrees then just take it to a machine shop and tell them to machine a new keyway in they pulley x many degrees off center.
If you thought you could tune your cam off trial and error then you really didn't need one in the first place, especially not if you have the stock cam. You really need to know what you are doing.

The answer is bisimoto never made them in the first place but they did stop branding them. However, this company in the link is still making them you can them in the link.

With that being said and to repeat what the last person said it has been found that even with a tune adjusting the cam gear doesn't really help. outside of TDC when you're doing the timing belt so unless your lazy it's just a showpiece. The was proven on a dyno with a n/a build an adjustment out of tcd + or - resulted in the power loss. This would be different for a boosted car but has yet to be tested.

I think it is a valuable tuning device, but results will vary and it depends a lot on your head and cam. There are other ways of changing the timing like I described

If you mill the head on OHC I think its a must have...but thats my opinion.

[ShiRen]

Even then, no. Just degree the cam, you can move it a tooth or get a shop to put a new keyway in the pulley

Either way, you need to degree the cam if you're trying to get the most performance out of it

Yeah I thought so too the brodie did it with his and when rich tune made adjustments to the cam gear in either direction they found it lost power but when it was TDC the gains showed from the tune they were working on. He's was a milled head n/a with all the bolts on as well. The only thing we haven't seen was a boosted application.

Agreed just slapping parts in there with put specing them is always a no no.

Here I am in 2024 FINALLY looking at this making a plan for the Project: Retro-Tuner. Not going wild with it, just want to make it a little more fun.
