So what are people running? Fidanza? OBX? Maurha?

The OBX are the cheapest @ $150/set. Any experience with them? They are 5 bolt so I assume they won't slip. Will spending an extra $50 make a difference on an item like this?

I had cheaper ebay ones, which they no longer sell anymore. I used them, then when i changed the engine i left them in my shed and my meth head neighbor stole them. When they were on, they worked well.

 

what other valvetrain mods did you have CDM?

valve springs and high lift cams will put more draw on the gears than stock...

 

Here be mine:


Boundary Engineering set. Had to be machined slightly on the backside to fit. Adjusted and tuned on dyno a year ago, have not slipped at all.

 

Do you have any aftermarket Camshaft on it?
what's the Cam gear for? beside adjusting Timing.

 

Well mine will be to adjust timing once I tune for it, but first off it will be to set proper stock timing due to the block and head being shaved.

 

Buy my FM cam gear. That **** slipped.

 

Have you checked CorkSport?

So did mine

 

Anyone planning to by for their VVT? I only need one, want to split a set?

 

Well buy my FM gear. Then you don't have to split a set.

 

AEM Tru-Time. So far so good.

 

I had the AEM gears on a civic back in the day.

They slipped if i looked at them wrong.

 

Has anyone had experience with the Toda gears?

Anyone with slippage problems use loc-tight or vibra-tite?

 

I gained 12 to 15hp with an intake gear with a minor(only noticeable on dyno) loss in tq.

 

I've got a set made by mazda. Haven't slipped yet, fingers crossed!

 

i got a set of fidanza ones, i havnt had them for very long but sofar they are great, i dont think ill have any problems, they look and feel VERY well built




here is an adjusting tool i made, it makes adjusting them easy as heck

 

I have a set of toda cam gears. had them for 7 years. they don't slip but the material starts to wear down on the gear where the timing belt teeth ride. to the guy who made 12 - 15 hp. what are your gears set to? just put my engine back together and set them back to zero. switched the head for a 99 and need a referance point to start tuning them.

 

I was there for the tuning and thought it was about 8* retard - retarded in timing that is But he had only the intake gear.
