there has to be aftermarket camshafts for the 3.2L i mean they put that engine in hondas and acuras but i sure as hell cant' find them anywhere i'm pretty interested in learning how to swap them out.

 

I don't think there's such a thing available on the market.

Although I am no engine expert, the impression I get from reading up all the sources available in our forum is that our engine is pretty much tuned to its highest performance potential at the factory.

Beside the usual set of bolt-ons, there is no other economically feasible and readily available performance enhancing modification available for a 2G TL.

The only exception seems nitrous, but that's something else entirely.
It's only good for going straight and it can only be pernicious to your already fragile transmission.

 

There aren't any. Our vendor excelerate had a set made but he never got a member(with a stock motor) to install them and have a before and after dyno to see if the grind would give us gains.

 

well i'm a member i my car is 1 hundered percent stock lol i'll ask him about it.

 

Its not free either. Its like 700 bucks

 

why would a stock motor be required if there was a before and after dyno done?

 

To give an accurate representation of the gains

 

having some custom cams ground is another option if you have the cash to do it.

 

have you tested them or had dynoes done. pm me with the price that would be sweet.

 

Thats what the vendor had done. Its not cheap.
Do a search on the CL side of the forum. All the info is there.

 

oh i thought you said you have some custom ground cams.

 

You could go with TypeS cams if you're driving a TLP.

 

ok thats do able is there any websites the sell the type S cams

 

any idea on the what the power difference would be on the type S cams

dont expect huge gains, these motors arent like old pushrod fords and chevys that can get a bunch out of a cam because we already have a aggressive cam that does in vtec what most big grind cams do.

 

i found the cams on there only 244 dollars for both kinda cool. i know i need more than just the camshafts anything else such as seals or anything else i should get with the cams

 

thats a waste of money and a mod imo..

 

Cylinder head cover gaskets will certainly need to be replaced.

Factor in several hundred (i'd guess $400) for install. You should also purchase an air-fuel controller as the stock ecu will limit the gains with the new cams.

I'd say you're looking at $1000+ for everything.

 

And so are the 400-1000 dollar exhausts people put on to gain 2 hp. There are certainly far cheaper and most likely yield alot better mods out there, But if your looking to squeeze every last bit out of it why not try. I do suggest getting a NEO or E-Manage and having the car dyno tuned afterwards

 

ight ight i get the point cams arent' in these cars anyting like in muscle cars. o well learn something new everyday

 

np, just pointing out to the masses that it's not as simple as just throwing a set of cams under hood and poof, instant HP.

 

 

tru dat
