Default A loping Civic WTF!

Found this on youtube after another video. I think I've seen it all now.

Hmm.. Either that's an open header or the exh needs work.. Almost sounded like it was leaking..

That's the first time I've heard a big set of cams in a DOHC 4 cyl. .

a guy i worked with had an 89 turbo eclipse with a built motor and cams similar to that, sounded a little funny but one of the few imports i liked, 25lbs of boost and ran high 12's before he went to a 80mm turbo

Looks like he said Bye, Bye to any low-end he had before. Those cams are built for all top end power. Sounds cool for a 4cyl. though. Found this info on them:

They are an ultralight hollow-core cam.

They are single lobe too - no VTEC.

They only make power above 5000 rpm up to maybe 12K rpm and likely would idle somewhere around 2K.

Not streetable.

"TODA VTEC KILLER camshafts are similar to what professional touring car teams have used for years in the British BTCC and Japanese JTCC and Group A racing series. TODA has been offering these camshafts to Japanese race teams for years, and now we are making this advanced technology available to consumers. They are designed for racing only and provide power gains from 5000rpm and up. The camshafts are produced from a special hollow core developed exclusively by TODA Racing for lighter weight and higher rpm capability*. The kit comes complete with camshafts and special hardware needed to complete the conversion. Three different intake and three different exhaust profiles are offered. Special order item! Price: $1,800 "

Type Duration Lift (mm)
INTAKE 285 12.0
INTAKE 295 12.0
INTAKE 305 12.0
EXHAUST 285 11.5
EXHAUST 295 11.5
EXHAUST 305 11.5

*TODA dual valve springs are required for this kit. Using non-TODA valve springs may cause damage to the camshafts.



1800 bucks? That's some serious money for cams.

Power above 5k? SHEESH

From link:

sokvannak Reply Thoscams are ******* sick. and to ne one who says sounds like ****,then you dont know **** about cars and shouyld stick to regular bolts on and just go and buy a new air intake. You dont have to grind the rocker arm,but instead the vtec part of the rocker has to be removed,hence the name vtec killer. Nice car man



Funny how most Honda folk can't spell good.

To me that engine sounding like a bad idle 4 banger car with an exhaust leak.

I would get out of the car world before I had a car that did not make power till 5k, even if it spun to 12k. It would SUCK on the street.

Ill stick to my 7k shift points and power any place on the power curve.

if i had a honda, damn straight i would want those cams. i think that sounds pretty sweet, i also like a set of 272s in a DSM. to hell with tq, it only has 130ft-lbs anyway, if it knocks it to 110, who gives a ****. Big *** turbo, big *** cams, that would be kinda fun. But, ill stick to my LSx, i love torque

I want to say its cool, but its really not. Its in no way even remotely streetable or docile. It would be a pain to just get that thing around the lot at the track.
