Question for all JUN camshaft owners... - Honda Prelude Forum

ed-camden · 01-04-2002, 01:33 AM

As I do my research of which cams to buy I'd like to hear from the owners. From what I know, JUN appears to be the highest in quality/testing as well as price. My question.....are the cams worth it (properly tuned ofcourse). What kind of gains could I expect with my mods (listed in sig)? Also, do the new cams change the sound/kick of VTEC engagement?

I just ordered a set of crower cams, i'm expecting about a 25 hp gain. anyone know if this will be true or worth it? so far i've heard that it's a very noticable gain.

wow, any ideas why that happened? I've heard that crower was good that's why i bought them. Maybe he got some type of a factory defected camshaft. That sh*t better not happen to me! i Pray

Look closely at his sig.

"2001 Honda Prelude 5spd.
(1/5/2002......14.43@97.36) "

ed-camden · 01-12-2002, 01:18 PM

My car is a 5spd as listed in my sig. I'd have to be shooting a whole lot of laughing gas to get that with an auto.

Anything can contribute to that. Improper installation (in town there was a B16 that got destroyed by Toda cams b/c the shop put the intake springs on the exhaust side, and exhaust springs on the intake side), poor break-in, and - of course - manufacturer's defect.

hahah my bad i am still kinda confused, your car is a 5 speed sorry i wasn't paying attention...

25hp? Wow, you're dreaming =]

I can see 25hp from the cams, if you've already got intake, header, exhaust and a mild port and polish... but that's only from the stage 3 race cams.

No, I don't think there's a recall on JUN cams. So far I haven't had time to tune my car, but they are definately much better than the Type S cams I had before. Just from doing a few runs with my friend's itr, it's a big diff.

So I'm assuming you have a friend that's done the crower cams, or you've done the crower cams yourself then. if not then i'll proceed to expect atleast 20 hp and maybe 25. thanks

Im about to order some cams, what would all you guys do ?

Get the Juns, Crower Stage 2, wait for skunk2, or any other options ?
