i can't find aftermarket camshaft for the Accord LX

i know, that's why crower is gonna modify your existing one for you. nobody really puts time in the f22 series because there is nothing stelar about them.

Yeah, you're gonna have a hard time finding an aftermarket cam for a SOHC non-VTEC. Simply not a large enough market. A factory regrind is a possibility, but there's just something about simply welding more material onto a cam lobe that makes my stomach churn. Obviously it's a little more complicated than that, but you get the idea.

Swapping cams in a non-VTEC is, IMO, a bad idea anyway. You end up with severe loping at idle in order to make any usable top end power, since the cam grind cannot change between RPM ranges. In addition, as soon as the cam profile got aggressive enough to yield practical results, you'd run out of rev range. That is, of course, if the car didn't stall off the line because of the aggressive grind.

The stock cam is optimized for the stock engine. IMO, F22? H22 or turbo, all the way. You'll be much happier.

don't you need a different profile cam for turbo ? i think i read that is reccomended to get a different profile cam for turbo.

What you probably read was referring to Vtec cams since they have a little too much overlap than a turbo would need(i.e. boost going out the tail pipe before the exhaust valve closed). But even then its recommended but definitely not neccesary.

Give WEB racing cam a call. they have made a few custom ones for me at a very good price. I dont have their number off the top of my head but im sure you can find it in one of the import mags. Try turbo mag

Try Crane they have a sport compact section now.

A properly reground cam will yeaild excelent results . As long the durtaio ndoes'nt get out of hand you'll be fine .
The Bad part of it is that you don't ahve hla's (i think) Meaning you would wither need to have your cam lobe welded , or a custom core made up . I don't know the factory specs on F22 cams or i could be helpful . From my experiance the f22 motors seem to die past 5000 rpms , but have a broad but weak power band . A good after market regrind would make good power between ~4000 and 6000 rpms were you would want it to be .
Peaco I believe already makes f22 cams , but I've yet to deal with anyone using there product .

Listen to Dangerous Dan He knows his shit and hes a friend of mine. He helps me work on my accord and I have the same motor. I have relized it doesn't put out enough power so me and him are going to build a non V-tec H22 motor.

U could also try Junusa for a factory regrind
