ok i know with DOHC motor you can tune your intake and exhaust cams with adjustable cam gears but what about with a SOHC what can you do beacuse you can't advance or retard to intake or exhaust because they on a single camshaft but someone help me if you can i was just kinda curious about it

they are both adjusted atthe same time cause theres only on cam. Iam not too sure how much of advance they can take but I dont think too much.

It seems less beneficial on a single cam, but I'm pretty sure it lets you shift your powerband if needed.

plus it look cool, you can get 50hp from it, if you get it in type R red

But seriously, like they said, it's all tuned or changed at the same time, not too much of an improvement though.
I've seen a lot of people with quick d's either going back to stock, or just recommending to use the stock one.

Oh and I forgot, this is the wrong forum for the question

ok thanks i wasn't to sure it seems if you were to advance intake then you would be retarding exhaust i dunno but ok thanks yall

a cam gear really helps on a sohc when you shave a head or block down to retard/advance the timing.

but no, the scavaging effect on a sohc is limited.

correct me if i'm wrong tho, but it's good on a boosted engine to retard your base timing w/ it.

Actually after completing my mini-me setup in my Hatch I realized that an adjustable camgear would be beneficial because for whatever reason on mini-me's the cam timing is alway's off a half a tooth. I think it's got something to do with the profi9le of the head. It runs, but I'd like to pick up a cam gear and get it where it should be.

if u got aftermarket cam u can use a adj.gear to dial it to 0.
otherwise it doesn`t really do THAT much.
IMO don`t worth it stock wise.
