could i get some input to what would be the best cams to us in a NA engine
JWT or Nismo or ??? i know in past threads its been mentioned that some cams suit FI better and other suit NA better

cheers

good luck getting replies for this one, i've already tried and i got no help...lol...

 

because there is no right answer

figure out 1. your budget and 2 your goals, and the decisions from there tend to make themselves

 

to be honest, i think JWT cams are more for FI due to the high tourqe at higher RPM, in the other hand, NISMO cams give torque throughout the whole rpms

 

both JWT and NISMO are very mild cams, and particularly mild for NA use

 

I think I can answer his budget question...

 

and how might i ask can you do that?

look into tomei or some custom grind.. probably need to get into UTEC or another managemnt system if you're going with an aggressive grind.

 

as far as i knew, jwt makes the nismo cams. they should be near identical.

 

Nismo (0.426 inches on lift, 262 deg dur.) coppied their cams from JWT (0.428inches lift, 260 deg dur.), then tweaked it a bit so it isn't a complete copy. They are virtually the same and get about the same result. I would go for JWT because they are less expensive. Neither are all that great for FI uses, but they will still give you some gains over stock. You'll find turbo cams have more lift, but are less on durration. Since you are in Australia talk to APS <http://www.************************> especailly if you are going with FI. Also, you may want to check out Tomei cams for something a tad more raddical for N/A uses. After all the research I've done on the subject, I have decided to get my cams ground at Scott Performance <http://www.scottperformance.us/>. Good luck!

 

It wouldn't let me give you the APS website, so it is basically www dot airpowersystems dot com dot au.

 

Cosworth should be coming out soon with their VQ35 cams, wait up and get those. Cosworth parts are amazingly good.

 

How did NISMO copy JWT if NISMO cams were released far in advance of JWT? NISMO cams were released upon release of the car in Japan

 

hi
i didn't Know that UTEC Can Tune cam timing Already

CheerS
yun

 

it won't

 

i have nismo cams and i love em. The lift and dur. from nismo and jwt are almost identical. Its true, jwt is cheaper so go with that. I suggest u check the private classifieds and post a "i need nismo cams" thread. Good luck!

 

Because his name is 'ALWAYS BROKE'

thought that was pretty simple...

 

how much hp can be estimated over base with the mild jwt or nismo cams..

 

If money is not an issue:

TOMEI

but at $800!!! Yikes!!

 

dolemizer - you do realize that's $800 for a pair right? $800 for a SET would be a steal....and $800 for a pair is very pricey

 

exactly...I suppose you have to spend a bit if you want the best! I read thats what you will be running right?
