I emailed Delta a few days back concerning a new project im starting and they said they can produce a Regrind for the F22b1 V-tec motor with a 268 duration. PERFECT !!! although the powerband will be shifted beyond the motors rev limit .....my skunk cam will take care of that. Any thoughts on this particular cam duration ? let me know. Price is 125

btw, ive been using a friends member account and found this !!!!

so the regrind will do nothing for us because it'll be beyond our rev limit?

PimpCL23

so are you gonna be reving past the redline now??
cause if you are... you gotta make sure the bottom end (cylinders) can handle those type of revs.. or BOOM!

it also depends on how high ur gonna be reving that beast

FULLRACE

hellooooooo.... Cam gear felllas. The cam gear will allow me to shift the powerband within the rev limit.

So.. the regrind is for the camshaft, and ur Skunk ajustable cam gear allows u to apply it..

shineynitelite

so you send your cam to them and they regrind it for 125?

what kind hp gain are we talking here

PimpCL23

HEEEELLLLLLLOOOOOOO.... bottom end homie!! think of it like an LS/Vtec conversion for the integra... the top part of the block(head of B16 or B18C) is made to rev to 8000 - 9000 or some shit.. where the bottom part (Block of the LS) is only suppose to go to 6500 - 7000 MAX!... lots of LS/Vtec owners have blown their engines because they think that just cause it can rev that high doesnt mean that its suppose to

PimpCL23

hmmmm... sound good i guess.. but still skeptical on the powerband being shifted so u can get the rite ammount of HP

shineynitelite

whenever you do anything involving a cam on a sohc it effects the powerband first and gives power second

PimpCL23

at first i thought he was gonna chip the ECU or something to remove the rev limiter... i wonder what RPM (if he didnt do the skunk cam thing) is he suppose to get the full potential outta it

5-speed

so what would the advantages be of this over a 272 regrind?

FULLRACE

Delta wont make the 272 again.....i couldnt convince them to do it again for me. As far as gains, im looking to see 10-14 hp in conjunction with the cam gear and about 2 hours of dyno time. Because the duration is so high, the cam gear is essential to producing appliable hp throughout the rpm range. Theres a good chance ill be seeing no more than 6300 rpm so the cam gear will have to be tunned properly along with the fuel/air etc....for power to be had. Before i send her in, im going to send the F tb in to Maxbore to complete the segment.

Total costs: Camshaft...125 you supply core
Cam gear...90 skunk II
Maxbore tb...105 you supply core
dyno time...varies....here its 150 with wideband for one hour inlcluding cam adjustment on Neo/Vafc


I just recieved another email from Delta and with the increased air flow were and a tune, the mid to high end power band within 6300 rpms should significantly be increased while allowing smooth power not spiky. They suggested the larger TB but if you dont have any supporting modifications....this isnt for you.

You'll need at the least........I/H/E piggyback system ( vafc/afc ) cam gear, tb and access to dyno.

FULLRACE

exactly !! alot of people are interested in getting a cam gear but without realy needing to adjust the powerband to suite some type of modification...its pointless. The camshaft is almost a Perfect reason to get a cam gear because you'll absolutley need it !!

PimpCL23

go for it... tell us how it works out!

FULLRACE

i sure will. If everything works out in the next two weeks, and if theres interest, ill setup a bundle or some type for GB's. How awsome would it be to create a HP bundle using different components through a GB !! Not just basic bolt ons people, mods that will give you some real ponies.

im in

shineynitelite

i wouldnt say that, before my car felt good from 2k to about 5500 and that was kinda lame


cam gear put my powerband up higher so the tops of all the gears pull hard to redline

Clman02

speaking of cam gears I have a Blue AEM one for sale

shineynitelite

oh yeah huh, you still have your stock one bobby or do you want mine?

ghost_masterCL

would having a cam gear affect the J30 engine at all or waste of money? Sine the CLS cams put the powerband at like 4000 rpms - some rpm past redline, I would like to lowerthe powerband to where the CLS cams woudl end there powerband at redline, so I would make hte most of it.

shineynitelite

it couldnt hurt anything, same as a underdrive pulley or a light flywheel still takes weight off the moving parts

sixfifty

how come you're goin stock?

i might be interested if the price is right

FULLRACE

a cam would make the mods you have ....specialy camshaft..come alive. The weight savings is to minimal to even consider spending money on it for.

Clman02

it's from the old engine
