Was there a price on this?

They post their production schedule here:

...no FA/4U...yet.

Judging by the current available BC cam kits for the EJ, these should be pretty darn affordable.

Only question is, how hard is it to install. I've done many cam swaps on the Honda B series motors in the past with ease ...but these FA boxer engines look a bit more complicated with the chain links and everything..I have never worked on it before.

I am in the same boat. I would like more power out of the 86 staying NA.

Are you saying we wont be able to reach peak level due to drive train losses?

Because of the boxer setup we will have 4 cam shafts and will likely be a PIA to get at. In terms of assembly and disassembly, it should be relatively similar to any other engine… Realistically the main cost of install will be the time a shop takes to simply get to the engine… If the FA20 is anything like the EJ (which it is) you will have to reposition the engine; either drop it, raise it, or pull it out altogether… tbh in terms of cost i wouldn't bother getting them installed by a shop unless you were getting the engine pulled anyway...

Just went to the Brian Crower website and it made me miss my 05 RSX Type-s haha they have a k20z1 putting out 300hp+ with their NA cams (plus supporting mods of course). Come on FA20. You've gotta do better than 200rwhp

Wouldnt be surprised if another forum would gain popularity due to these stupid bannings. Honestly no other forum is this ban happy.

Do you get banned for being NA?

Are these just ground and welded stock cams?
