Are both cam gears are the same and which one would you guys suggest what kind of gains from it?

 

Im lost with you're question, and I need a cam gear question answered too, so could you please elaborate more on your initial question.

 

i think he meant....

are both cam gears the same? which ones would you suggest? what kind of gains from it?

I personally have the AEM 5 bolt design and they work fine...i haven't tuned my car completely since i just had a clutch install and am still in the wear in process. hopefully we will see some results after fine tuning.

 

AEM are excellant and reasonable also. What I use and recommend. If anyone needs a price pm me

 

what kind of gains can we expect from cam gears?

 

Well since he has a IX, both cam gears aren't the same obviously.

On the AEM cam gears the 5 bolt style is much better than the previous internal hex design.

My question was this: Since, IXs' have MIVEC, and can only be controlled electronically. Now, with that being said, on the exhaust cam, in what direction do I move the exhaust side, in order to shift the power band to the earlier RPM range? Can one benefit from using an exhaust cam gear on a IX? Are their proven results? I need more information to make an educated decision. Thank you.

 

There are many variables to try and answer that questions such as: turbo, cams.... The gears allow you to "dial in" the cams for more midrange or top end power for example by slightly "shifting" your power curve one direction or the other.

 

yea. i just helped my buddy rebuild his svt focus and he put them on his car, and we were dialing them in. so it got me thinking.

btw i have a 3076r/3037s turbo, alky, 272 cams and everything else there is to do to these cars. i am currently about to rebuild with eagle h-beams and wisecos. right now im at 472whp @ 25psi, pump and meth

 

+1

 

So, which way to get typically more midrange?

 

so evo 9 hase one cam gear ?

 

Two, it's just your intake cam gear is controlled electronically, and the exhaust cam gear is not.

The only one you can adjust mechanically is the exhaust cam gear, with an aftermarket adjustable cam gear. i.e. AEM, JUN, HKS, Skunk2...

The other is adjusted via ECUflash , or another engine software program of your choice.

 

thank you but can i replace doth of them for hks ?

 

u wouldnt see much of a gain with a cam gear

 

hks gears are really good ones. aem are good too. if you are running hks cams then go with the hks gears. im switching over to the hks gears soon.
