i emailed Crower awhile ago to see if they were gonna release a cam anytime soon and i finally got a response.



"thats something that we would love to do since the fit is becoming very popular.we would need some cores first then go from there on making a few grinds and possibly some valvetrain a big help would be a complete head"


so here is to hoping they can make a cam soon

 

sounds like they would like someone to give them a complete head.

 

wouldnt everyone ?

 

dude, i'd totally just buy a head and give it to them if i get the cams for free...

 

that sir is to funny. but really im in for some... im mean a complete head. question is, who on this board is going to man up and send them a complete head?

 

this is where the people who swapped in a k20 should chime in and send them their l15...

 

thats funny cause i was just reading a thread with someone who wants to sell his ol' L15 wid tranny, cables, clutch etc...for a grand...perfect canidate...he could sell the cam back to anyone of us...den agen he'd prolly get more for the motor..lol

 

That is some kind of a good news for sure!!!! Anybody have the specs for the stock cam timing around here??

Marko!!

 

i email them last week as well called. they told me they dont plan on anything for the fit. i even offered to give my fit as well i didnt mind spending the money. and it was still no bite, they just told me to swap a k series

 

I personally wouldn't like to give anyone complete head.

 

Contact skunk2 or rocket motor sports about cam....rocket can make a cam to any spec you need if you just send your cam to him...i wouldnt trust crower with any motor after one crower cam after another broke over the years in customers drag cars.

 

don't hold your breath guys. Just how much power do you think a cam would make?

5whp maybe? So with all those bolt ons, you could possibly see a whopping 90-100whp. Wooo. instead of high 17s or low 18s in the quarter, you could run low 17s! woot!

 

has anyone even done a build on a L15 platform besides spoon?

 

noblesse built a fit with internals and valvetrain but it is all prototype stuff.

 

Thanks for sharing this info. I would imagine that a there would have to be other purchases made to reprogram to make the most of the valve timing changes, unless the duration changes are minimal.

 

both spoon and noblesse have the know how to do all the tuning in house and custom machine their own parts to whatever specs they want. the rest of us have to rely on on companies to mass produce parts for us unless you want to shell out he money for custom valve train or cams.

 

When you start messing with cam lift and duration, you always have to do other expensive changes that include a complete tear down of the engine, to see any kind of benefit in performance. Changing the camshaft without at least replacing the pistons with a bumped up compression ratio would have a very negative effect on the power band. Forced induction isn't without drawbacks either. When I compare the cost involved, with the price of a second hand sport bike and its operating cost, I start looking for space in my garage. Add to that, the cost of remapping.

 

honda cbr600rr is the way to go. faster,lighter,better mpg, and the passenger always holds on for their life.
