Cams Cams Cams

re grinding stock gtr cams who has done it ? where did you get it done? i have been told clive cams in victoria does it does anything else need to be machined if i do this?

[R31Nismoid]

id say anyone that does cams could do this (there are heaps of places that come to my mind)

it would be more about knowing what you want specs you want them done too id imagine.

Once you provide that to whomever, places should easily then produce what you want

yeah i agree with you only thing on here im not sure about is what else needs doing im looking to make big power and using a rb30 bottom end my turbo is ratted at 1100 hp so just trying to get us much into as i can

That probably means you've got the wrong turbo.

There's no sense asking an internet forum what reground cams you need if you want to make 1000hp. For the $30K plus you'll pay for the motor the builder will specify the cam.

lol your dreaming 30k bro

i was asking about re grinds for cams and what people have done i didnt bother going into detail into my build cause there is no need so IF ANYONE has had there stock cams re ground by a shop could you let me no

Waste of time and money. Just get some off the shelf units. To get the lift and duration you will need to alter the base circle. You can only go so far before needing to build up the lobes with weld. That is a no-go for this application it's super dodgy.

Billet units or nothing for such extreeme applications.

well 1100hp doesnt come under 5 figures

IMO you'd be better of buying cams suited to what you want, and whatever other parts your using in the head etc

thanks bro im going to cheek with clive to see what he says but that was my last option to lash out on some hks items

Might want to get you grammar and punctuation re ground while your at it

For your 1000hp application i wouldn't go smaller than 260 HKS items.

[ANK]

thanks for you post i was looking more towards hks 296 items im looking to make around 800hp on c16 once i change the rear housing on my turbo it wont be rated at 1100 no more lol

It's not lashing out when you consider that the shims can cost you more than the new HKS/Tomei etc cams do.

You really need to make sure that whatever grind you are offered there is no 'building up' of lobes going on.

These cams are very long to make matters harder and this is why we can't go getting local billet units done (that would beat the pants off the one size fits all we are stuck with).

The long cams mean straightness and balance are super critical or you end up with 4 peices of cam.

Is this going in to an "os gieken" bottom end as you have in your sig? I hope that isnt a chinese rip off of an OS Giken

lol your dreaming 30k bro

Are you saying he's dreaming because its double that money or what?

Because considering in your screen name it says your building an os giken RB30/26 and an os giken bottom end is $30,000 alone ( http://www.otomoto.com.au/osgiken/RB30_race_engine.htm ) i think his statement was fairly accurate....

lol im talking about the kit for the r33 gear box im well aware of what the kit cost for bottom end

car is being built by maatouks racing in sydney

bottom end is just coping the normal stuff and being tapped for 12mm arp bolts not sure weather i will sleave the block but its somthing im going to look into further and seeing if its worth it

and as for what the motor will cost to build its no where near 30k

The first engine might not cost that much but by the third your will start to be getting to the $30K mark.
