Pay if you don't know don't attempt as you don't want to blow your motor messing with timing and not torquing to correct specs

so i just bought this cam yesterday i couldn't wait and i just called procivic on the phone and ordered it . now my dilemma is does anyone know if it comes with instructions on how to install it. i been reading on how to remove and install the factory cam and it seems like a really long process involving the removal of many other things, so i dont know whether i should venture doing it myself or pay a show to do it.

When I get mine im going to get a dyno before and after to see the actual difference... but it would be nice knowing before I buy... hint... hint

 

[Mr.Wiggles]

Thats gonna have to wait a while im deployed right now and wont be installing this until I get back home or if I find someone to install it while in away then I will dyno it when I come back home. Not only that I got a couple of other goodies waiting to be installed plus a couple of others im going to buy

I'll have to talk to my shop,to see if they will even do this as I have a ton of parts going on at one time more of a base with nothing then bam everything I don't think they will give me 3 dynos and 2 tunes separate for testing without charging me lol. Would have to be a shop that wanted numbers for their customers for research

 

[Sprinqer]

I wanna hear this cam on our cars, who's getting it put in the soonest???

 

[red_nimbus]

any updates yet?

 

[Megaman X]

Lol takes time to add these parts and I guess u missed the part where they said it retains stock idle soooooo it will not sound different lol

 

[Mr.Wiggles]

so i called a shop and they quoted me 500 bucks to install this , does it seem fair ?

Lol, he'll no unless this includes tuning as we'll I'm Getting a complete turbo installed along with all supporting mods I mean all of them Exhaust intake spacer gauges etc and tuned on the dyno for 1300 lol sooo I would say you getting ripped off shop, around keep in mind you need a tune almost instantly since your upgrading cams. Now my price might go up 200 more for them to add cams to, the list maybe not

 

[Mr.Wiggles]

Im gonna call a couple other shops around and see what they tell me , im itching to do it myself but at the same time I dont want to **** anything up

 

[w00t692]

500 dollars for a camshaft install is fair. What are you smoking thinking he's getting ripped off?

 

[Mr.Wiggles]

If anyone knows a shop near eastern nc new bern area that they trust , or if any of you guys have experience and might want to help ....maybe there will be lots of beer and burgers as an incentive ....

 

[Mr.Wiggles]

I called another shop and they quoted me closed to 1000 dollars soo idk im gonna keep calling around

 

[Mr.Wiggles]

Ok so now legit Im getting a little frustrated with this, I called a bunch of shops , some quited me anything from 800 to 1200 to install the cam , and some just straight up told me they wont do it, now I want to do it myself , however ive never done this and dont want to **** something up, my mechanical skills are rather sufficient but I dont want to risk ******* up my cars timing, even though it seems easy to time. A couple of people have told me they would help me installing the parts that I have waiting for me at home so if anyone is interested in helping and lives near eastern nc ill be doing this when I come back in march the help would be greatly appreciated

Why not visit a Honda only shop in a different state?? That what I did to get my evo and Z turboed was cheaper and speciality shops? The traveling could be fun

 

[Mr.Wiggles]

Do you know any honda specialty shop near north carolina ? Or you can just come and help me

Any word on getting it dynoed after the cam?

What do you mean install cam only and then dyno?? If that's what you mean I would never do that as it's a waste of money. I have tons of other engine mods including a turbo kit in my garage I want it all installed at one time to conserve money from having to tune twice and double the shop fees and double the dyno time. Again that would be a waste of money the cams will add power I would assume 10-20 more with proper tuning.

Now what I'm willing to do is do a stock dyno pull then a pull after all these parts are installed to see the total gain that now I'm very interested in seeing
