Hi Guys,

I am planing for GT Motorsport Camshaft 272 for my 350z VQ35DE, 2004 Automatic.

My Car have:

• aFe Air Intake
• Skunk2 Plenum Spacer
• Titek Test Pipe
• Borla Cat-Back
• Greddy E-Manage Ultimate Tuning

I got 240 whp on Dyno Dynamics with above modifications.

It 272 cam god for my car?

Its ok for daily driving?

How many wHP i will get?

If needs more modifications before Camshaft, please advice.

Thanks in advance.

 

Not sure on how much whp you will gain but you would need to do a valve spring upgrade

 

thats a turbo cam ....go with jwt cams....but cams r so labor intensive i hope u r gonna build the motor also i hope?

 

going to have a hard time fixing the idle and its going rumble back an forth unless u a pretty good tuner

 

which JWT Cams u r prefer for my car?

 

which cams is better for may car (GTM or JWT) and which Degree?

 

We have both N/A and Turbo specific camshafts.

The 272s are a mild cam and great for a daily driver, I wanted something more wild and went with the 288's in my car

*Notice the ability to chose if your car is N/A or Turbo.

Hey George,

What would be your opinion on an N/A HR set up like:

GTM 302 cams, GTM valve springs, CP Pistons, Eagle Rods, and some type of cam timing unit...

Good for daily driving during summers only (4months)?

 

Hi George,

What more modification needs for my car if I want go for Stage 2 (272)?

How much approximation WHP I will get?

may i face any problem later?

Thanks bro

 

It will have a loopey (sp?) idle and a nice top end for sure!

I daily drive my G and I have stage 3 cams (288s)

 

I would also recommend valve springs if you are planning on revving pass the stock RPM limit.

Expect 20+ RWHP depending on other supporting mods and tuning, there aren't any reasons you would experience any problems down the road

may i know what the modifications u did on your car before u install Cam 288?

Thanks.

 

what cam would you recommend for good lower and mid range?

 

The stock camshafts are pretty sufficient on bolt on apps, but for more low to mid I would suggest a 264.

 

I can speak from experience on cams...

Unless you're ready to spend a lot of $$ on tuning, you won't get it to run correctly. I have an 04 Z as well, and before I went FI, I had put in Nismo cams into my car with all the bolt ons. The ECU isn't adjustable (you need to compensate and re-adjust idle air etc) so we constantly had stalling issues. Also, CELs were common, and the car didn't make any more power than before, except in the high end (This is due to no tune). I had technosquare re flash the ECU as well, which didn't fix anything either, but we got the idle higher and bumped the redline slightly. Even in Japan, when using Cams, new ECU software is used by nearly every manufacturer to accomodate the new cams. The ECU and variable timing do not like the higher duration of the cams it seems , and have a tendancy to wig out.

There's absolutely no point in doing cams unless you're ready to spend a lot of time and money of tuning. And by tuning I mean an FCON or something along those lines, not just a simple re-flash.

In addition, better valvetrain SHOULD be used so that when you raise your redline your motor can actually handle it.

at the price point of all that is involved you might as well go FI, gain more power and even with a simple FI setup, be more reliable than with cams...

IMO

 

thanks World Famous Z for your reply

 

plz more

 

Uhhh, I reflashed my ECU for my 272's and guess what...no problems...no CEL's and plenty of hp gain from the tune 50+ rwhp but I had other supporting mods....heads and high compression as well.

 

50 rwhp !

may i know what is on your car?

which cams on ur car?

 

This is the key
