It's an old process with much newer techniques developed to acheive better results. a quality regrind will be just as durable as a regular cam... and they cost a fraction of what new cams cost. bottom line, regrinds are a good bang for the buck for more power. Crower, Web, and others are producing some nice numbers from their regrinds.. with very little cam failures.. Leitner Performance is carrying a new line called Colt Cams, which have regrind apps for both VTEC and non-VTEC heads... they're using a set in one of their customer's frankie setups... i'll be looking into this as well, a N/A set for non-VTEC PR4 heads is only about $300 CDN..

 

what about F series engines..... anyone?

from what I've read they have more torque then hp ... and gobs of it at that... opinions...??

 

You talking bout F22 found in Accord's???

 

yep... or the F20 I was at buddah's shop today and they were changing a timing belt on an accord so I looked up the engine when I got home on hondaswap.com... the spec are interesting, I just haven't heard much about this engine...

 

That's cuz the engine is junk compared to other honda engines, but basically it's still better than any other manufacturer's engine. Don't swap to an F series. Stick to D or B engines. Most parts are available, and all bolt in. Really, if you have $5.5K to spend on an engine, buy the ITR engine that cluster is selling.

 

It's sketch that's selling it

not cluster

well anyways .. what makes the F series worse then the B or D or H series?

 

Which F series?

Accord F-series like bbarbulo said sucks

but the F-series for the S2000 is ******* wicked! hahah but it wouldn't apply to us FWD Civics

 

Geometry my man...I thought we covered this in PM a while back

 

ok geometry... but what is different about it ...rod to stroke bore to stroke? combustion chamber geo? and we did cover geo in general in PM ...but not specifically whats wrong with the geometry of the F series...

 

ok I can't seem to find geometry for the F series of engines....anyone got that info....

I'm still trying to decide on the engine to get just wanna explore all options...

 

Doesn't matter which motor you put in for autocross classing, a swap is a swap, you'll be in the mod class right off, so might as well go all out.

H22 weighs 200 lbs more than the stock motor (more than double) fast though

You don't necessarily need to swap for autocross, I do well with my D15, regularly beat 2 friends with swapped B18C's.

 

well this year I'll probably just leave the D15 alone (suspension first) however in the end I want a bigger badder ender....maybe not the biggest (H22) but something cheap and good...

 

man I'd jsut go for a b20 not a frank b20 jsut a b20 non vtec

 

ok ..ummm why? (just curious as to the reasoning behind this)

thanks
