what camshaft for the civic 01

[jdmcivic01]

i was wondering what camshaft they have for our cars and what electronic mangement system is good to run with

 

[joe7987]

not too sure about camshaft... but as far as engine management...

the GReddy Emanage is a good option.. but if you want the best.. go for the AEM EMS.

crower is the only company that makes cams for our cars, stage 1-3.

greddy e-manage ultimate and aem ems.

on avg wat kind of gains can u see from stg 1 and stg2 cams and proper tune?

 

[04civic]

stage 1 you will see 7-10 hp gain. stage2 you will see about 10-14 hp gain.

 

[04civic]

i would just stick with stage1. stage 2 is too much of a hassle. with stage2 camshaft you have to buy springs and retainer kit with it. so all together you will be spending close to 700 bucks for just a few more hp over the stage 1 camshaft. not worth the money IMO. but if cash isnt an issue for you then go for it. plus... you will also need AEM EMS or something to smoothin out your idle. you idle will be rough with the stage 2.

Many members of 7ThGenCivic are having issues with the Stage 2 Cam. Idle is very rough, and I don't think any member has a proper tune. Also not very ideal unless your boosted or heavily modded.

 

[04civic]

if you are boosted you gonna have to get the stage2 turbo camshaft. stage 1 will not work with boosted cars.

screw the idle lol i like how they sound hahaha... but yea im gonna get one of the greddy emanage system and have it tuned along with the high cr pistons i want... yes im not a 7th gen but i figure they be around the same lol

 

[04civic]

screw idle huh? you wont be saying that when the rough idle bugs the hell out of you.

 

[AliasNeo]

u mean when it idles does it go up down type of thing?

 

[04civic]

it could be that. i saw a car that did that. got on my nerves. that or when you at a complete stop your rpm would probably sit at 2000 rpm or something.

 

[AliasNeo]

meh i dont mind that lol... ppl said id get real tired of how loud my car is, i still love the sound it makes so wats a high idle gonna do lol

 

[04civic]

i used to think loud cars were cool. my car is loud and i liked. then it started to get annoying.
