what cams to use? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

purekoryo · 08-06-2008, 05:32 PM

I used to have JWT S3 cams on my sentra SR20det and was pleased with them; however, I looked at the JWT website and they don't seem to sell their cams for the S13 SR20DET. It seems that on the forums that the HKS cams are popular. I wil have gt2871r .64 a/r turbo and want something mild. What would be the best cams for my setup? Also, if I get the HKS cams, do I get the 264 intake AND exhaust for step 1's or should I use different durations for intake and exhaust, if so, what would it be? I want pretty good midrange power.

thanks

S3 cams will work on s13. Prob the best cam if you do not want to change valvesprings ans retainers.

is it a direct drop in? I'm assuming the S3 cams from the SR20DE's of sentra's and G20's?

No modifications of the dowel pin required, I dropped my S3's in back last fall. The FWD dowel pin is shorter on the exhaust side, but still works just fine.

Just ordered the S4's! We'll see how that works out for me.
