Just looking at running the JUN 264 9.7mm cams for a circuit gtr with -5 Garretts.

Anyone using these?

1) Whats the idle like?

2) Whats the effect on response/lag, midrange and top end?

3) Do you need upgraded valve springs or any machining of head?

Thanks in advance.

These cams are a drop-in item, but the turbo you listed works better with properly dialed-in stock camshafts

dont htink they are big enough to make a difference.

there WILL be a difference... but probably not worth the effort. all you will get out of it is a car that idles a bit higher which makes it harder to drive at slow speeds. you would be suprised the difference 100rpm makes down there

Surely midrange would be improved wouldnt it though?

All the Vic circuit GTR's use stock cams with ~380rwkw being the norm output.. and there are a few of them

So apparently not. (FYI, most of them had poncams or other upgrades ones, and have since returned to stock)

Yeah ive heard that somewhere.. How are they making so much power though with -5 setups or are they running slightly bigger? What sort of boost generally on the track?

Obviously they have dropped the stock cams back in for better lap times right? That's pretty interesting and surprising....

i have dropped a set into my engine with the -5's and they were no better until we put the ported head on. We did see an improvement then but only over 20psi boost. Not to mention quite a long time dialing them in last time on the dyno, lots of work for very little gain over stock.

Does sound much better idling though if thats you thing.

ended up with 500hp at the crank with a full forged bottom end

Hmm.. Thanks for the input, I appreciate it..

I was pretty set on the Jun's but maybe not anymore.... Was keen for a slightly angry gtr idle too :P

Or maybe i'll have to get the head done and run over 20psi boost to make it worthwhile :P

just buy these...they bolt straight in and will be fine with your STD valve train.

Similar cams but with 2530s:-

1) => idle is about 950 rpm, you don't know it's got cams in it (until you hit 4k on fully open throttle)

2) => much the same as std but more torque and HP over 4500rpm, bitch to dial in.

Recommend you buy Dirtgarage's ones at that price :rant:

Why'd you get rid of them?

Whats the midrange like?

What's the idle like?

We went for a larger cam profile because we decided to pull the engine and go ballistic on it.

I had the same cams in my old race engine and was good for 467KW at the tyres with 2530's and ran 10.30's.

bit lumpier than stock but not too over the top.

I would grab them in an instant but Im just wondering why many VIC track guys have gone back to stockers from the 260 9.15's with -5's as R31Nismoid has indicated and I have heard elsewhere too.....

Still deciding and waiting for more advice.... Just want a good setup that will do the job efficiently on the track..

Response was better. A dyno graph doesnt show much, infact cams looked better on the paper :cheers:

It was on the track where it was noticed most however, the cars are faster than they ever have been here.

Its the real world where you can notice on/off throttle response and that kind of thing, things you cannot see on a set of rollers.

People nth of the border generally put cams in.

Comes down to your tuner, the engine build/things done etc... and how they all work together as a package including brakes, suspension and so on as much as anything else in terms of the whole car.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
