Adjustable Exhaust Cam Gear for Honda K-Series Engines
Are you looking to fine-tune your Honda K20 or K24 engine to maximize its performance potential? The Drag Cartel Adjustable Exhaust Cam Gear provides the crucial control needed to dial in your exhaust camshaft timing, complementing performance intake cams and cylinder head work. This gear is an essential upgrade for any serious tuner or racer looking for precise control over the entire power band.
Why is an Adjustable Exhaust Cam Gear necessary?
While the VTC controls the intake cam timing, the exhaust cam timing must be mechanically set. An adjustable gear allows tuners to optimize the valve overlap for maximum engine efficiency and power output.
-
Performance Tuning: Allows for precise mechanical adjustment (advancing or retarding) of the exhaust cam timing to optimize horsepower and torque for specific engine setups (turbo, naturally aspirated, etc.).
-
Optimized Overlap: Necessary for achieving the best valve overlap with high-lift, aftermarket performance camshafts, maximizing cylinder scavenging and power.
-
Durability: The gear’s construction ensures reliability under the stressful demands of high-RPM racing.
Construction and Quality
Drag Cartel Adjustable Cam Gears are built with race-grade materials and manufacturing standards to ensure they outlast and outperform factory components.
-
Material: Crafted from robust 8620 Billet Material, providing exceptional strength and rigidity.
-
Wear Resistance: Gears are carbonized to Aircraft Specification to achieve maximum wear resistance, extending the life of the gear and timing chain under extreme conditions.
-
Aesthetics: Features polished centers displaying the distinct Cartel Trademark Logo.
Engine Compatibility and Fitment
The Adjustable Exhaust Cam Gear is compatible with many popular K-Series engines commonly used in performance applications up to the 8th generation Civic chassis.
