any one making cam shafts or cam gears out there. i think we would make alot of hp out of these? any thoughts?

 

No, nobody is making any cams or cam gears for us. Yes they would be real good power adders. They are the best thing behind turbo for engine mods. But I wouldnt count on anybody making them anytime soon, considering after the 2nd generation eclipse came out, it took the first company 3 years to make them, and the eclipse was a VERY popular car. Our cars arent. Its not looking good for us.

 

well now the base eclipse has our engine in it... so maybe well start getting more engine parts now that two cars have the 4g69

 

i think if there is more support for the Eclipse and RA you guys can expect future products such as cams.

 

a guy here is selling cam gears for the ra and has one installed on his car (a ra duh)....
is a 'skunk' brand gear for an other aplication, i will see him on wednesday so ill post details later and as soon as i have it installed... ill post a pic.

 

Three cars with our engine, RA, Eclipse, Outlander; cannot forget our SUV cousin in these comparos.

 

the 3g eclipse cam gear fit i have one

 

^^^ care to share more info and pics?

Ive emailed skunk about making cams and cam gears specifically for our car, but I have gotten a response yet.

 

u forgot the Galant too. i think the es has the same engine too

 

I'm just curious, what do you think the HP gains would be with a new cam gear and shafts?

 

with the cam gear you can set the power curve to a certain rpm range..... remember we are sohc no dohc...

 

Depends on what degree of camshafts you go with. The lower stage cams tend to not deliver as much power, but the idle isnt so bad. Now say for instance you went with a racing cam, (ie stage 4 or 5) your idle is gonna be so rough youll never wanna drive your car and bye bye gas mileage. But IF we were ever to get cams, i doubt we would have a choice between stages (unlike in my last 97 eclipse 420A where I had 4 stages to choose from). But having cam gears on stock cams is absolutely pointless.

 

Ok, but being new to modding, what I'm wondering is are we talking 5, 10, 20 HP range? Lets say, we were to get a set of performance cam gear and shafts which are still good for a daily driver, am I going to see a diff? If I were to take my car to a dyno after, how much more power you think this mod would result in?

Thanks for your input!

 

im pretty sure cams and gears will greatly change the power band also

 

of course they will, read the reviews for the 02-03 lancer.
