what kind of cam gears do i get for my 88 dohc zc? does aem make one for it?

 

[RaceInspired]

Yep, AEM makes one.

 

[DOHC EF3]

B16 cam gears *some amchiningis neccesary*

 

[crxcrxcrx]

why would you get adjustable cam gears for a ZC when, the zc already has a mechanism that adjusts the stock ones automatically? kinda pointless. i would get cams.

WTF are you talking about?

Correction...aem makes two..lol just messing. The ones for the 86-89 integra that aem makes work

 

[redcrxsi]

The zc doesn't adjust the cam timming automatically...to my knowledge only vtec i engines are the only ones that do that. RSX...new si...not the s2000 though...yeah I think that's what the honda tech told me.

umm u been hittin the ol bong or what?? zc's dont aout advance, only the new iVTEC's do that

He's correct

 

[DOHC EF3]

how so ??? i know the ignition timing advances by itself but i never heard of CAM timing auto advancing

 

[crxrocks]

Yeah, that is crap. There is no way that the ZC can change cam advance. Of course the IGNITION timing can be changed by the ECU, but not the cam timing.

B16 cam gears fit with no problems on a ZC

 

[DOHC EF3]

do the b16 gears have to be machined at all??? cuz sometimes i hear you have to machine off of the front, others its the back and sometimes theres no machining

Ok, here is the scoop on the cam gears for the ZC. They DO NOT automatically adjust themselves. B16 cam gears are the same number of teeth and are 100mm diameter, just like the ZC cam gears. 86-89 Integra cam gears are 120mm diameter and about 20 teeth (or cogs) more, so they will not fit. The B16 cam gears need to be machined about 2mm off the back side of the cam gear so that the belt will line up properly otherwise the belt will ride a little off the back side of the cam gear. I have the Venom Fang cam gears on my ZC and that is what I had to do to make them fit. This was all done with the motor out of the car so I had plenty of time to make sure everything fit before I installed the engine. Here are the part numbers for cam gears that will fit the ZC.....

Venom - C10-125 - 1990 - 99 Integra - All DOHC
AEM - 23-602 - 1990 - 00 Integra - DOHC
1999 - 00 Civic Si - DOHC
1988 - 91 Prelude - B20-21

This list was pulled from both parties websites, so it is correct. I heavily researched this for months before getting the Venom cam gears. By the way, the actually do work. I have not dyno'd the motor yet, but it helped with off the throttle response. Hope this answers everyone's questions.....

He's correct

could you explain?
