[bonomo]

ok well heres my setup
ka24de
enthalpy ecu with safc with aem wideband
18psi
9.0-1 weisco pistons
eagal rods
ported head 5 angle valve job
brian stage 2 cams set to stock
custom race exhaust mani
pt70 turbo 70mm comp 63 a/r stage 5 exhaust wheel
front mount intercooler
apexi gt spec exhaust


now i see everyone on this forum and ka-t.org is making more than me at lower boost . its makes me really mad that my car barely breaks 300. now the cams should i get cam gears and time them or leave them alone? and what do u think can cause me not to make power?

yeah dude degree the cams also what cc injector are you running and and how is your air/fuel ration looking? Also heard allot of neg shit on the bc cams allot of people were making allot less power with the cams vs stock.

[bonomo]

800cc injectors air/fuel is like 11.8- 12 @ wot

[bonomo]

anybody?????????????

[DrIvEsldEwAyS]

my SR didnt make any power with the BC cams untill i added alot of timing. i added timing and it woke it right up. might be different with the KA

[fuk240sx]

who did the headwork? and how did you set up the cams?

[bonomo]

a shop lol there just sitting stock i just droped them in!

[bonomo]

does anyone have the CROWER cams? or the jwt cams?

[bonomo]

[S14DB]

Did you in dial the cams?

[bonomo]

no i didnt i am new to cam degreeing !

[speederJOdirty]

thats your problem right there

[bonomo]

do yall have these cams and how wold i go about doing this ? should i get the jwt cam gears?

[Ali 556]

BC cams are crap....You think they are 100% sot on but no...they are not..

95 KA set @ TDC on stock cams

= 4-5* BDC on BC cams

sell them and get JWT cams or kelford cams....or S13 248/248 cams...

All of they above > BC cams

[aNskY]

was it on a dyno dynamics? add 15% if so...

[bonomo]

witch ones are better for my setup u think? JWT cams or kelford cams?
i might get the kelford stage 2 cams . they said there drop in cams.

[Ali 556]

there is no that much feed back about JWT cams...

to save some $$$ :

swap your stock cams....then upgrade to 248/248 setup....

^^^ best $$/HP (for less than 500whp)

after that go kelford

Btw 248/248 > All b/c they are cheap (what like 50$ for the two)

[S14DB]

Find someone that can dial the cams in. If their base centers are off then get the JWT cams and adjust them.

+1 or do what i've said

[bonomo]

well im going to be pushing like 30 psi soon and i would like to have something bigger than stock cams .

[S14DB]

It will be cheaper to get cam gears and fix what you have then buy new cams. If the base centers are not off or if you dial them in with cam gears and they still suck then look to new cams.

[bonomo]

yeah but i dont no how to do that shittt. is there liek a write up or a video?

[S14DB]
