does anyone have any video of how the car sounds with the camshaft installed? i'm wanting to buy one but i want to hear what the car sounds like at idle and with alittle rpms behind it if you could post the video and what store you got them from that would be alot of help. thnks.

 

Based off of what is stated, the idle should be the same as the lobes appear to be near stock. I would guess the sounding would be a little different once in MIVEC. If you are looking for performance, this will definitely give you performance. Sound, well, maybe a bigger muffler

 

Agreed , the idle is like oem, it's when you put the throttle that it opens the lobes for longer duration which makes more power.

 

im wanting a good mod is this worth it? in terms of install.

 

Do it at the same time you do your timing belt and it's well worth it

 

Agreed. If you are going to go through the trouble of replacing the cam, you might as well take care of the business needed on other pieces that involve removing all that stuff anyone.

Changing the cam isn't essentially hard, but it's time consuming. I've never changed a cam in my Mitsu, but I have built engines (my VW engine in my sig) and I've learned over the rebuilding process that you just have to have patience and commitment to the job.

good luck

. . .and yes, a cam is a terrific upgrade, probably won't gain huge amounts of H.P., but will modify the powerband. It increases lift and duration more than increasing H.P.

 

do you think i should buy the cam gear too?

 

lol i just changed my timeing belt and all others.

 

buy the cam. thats my next one im after. just wait til your next timing belt change i suppose

 

na ill just buy the cam and keep the same belts.

 

Don't waste your time or money on that unless your ready to do some tuning , and advance the timing .....

 

lol noobish question but when or how do i know the car is ready for advanced timing?

 

When you flash the ecu to handle it haha

 

When you question buying clothes/food or mods for the car lol j/k ....

I mean you could do it now but still not get the full potential that is available with advancing the timing. You need to see what you want for long term , turbo , motor, nitrous or what have you . From a full motor build I'd say after you have a p&p intake manifold , intake,p&p head, cam, pistons, upgraded clutch , flywheel , an LSD would reall prove that your comitted, solid motor mounts, 150 direct port nitrous lol that's just my plans anyway....

 

also what does advancing the timing do im not familliar aka i havent payed attention how it works bye advanceing the timing
