^I think that's everything.


NOTE: The following below will be stock

a.) bottom-end
b.) head work
c.) injectors
d.) fuel pump

GOAL:
170WHP minimum..........I would love to see how much more I can squeeze out with the above staying stock.

did you see the thread about a stock motor with engine management? get a calum realtime ecu and tune the hell out of it, i wouldn't bother with cam gears

The BenFenner thread????

^If so, this is what made me start this thread........BenFenner had some very interesting info. I hope he chimes in to my thread.

The question is, are you trying to squeeze every last ponie out it or just tryin to make it fast? Because when Rick with the 200sx VE (yes i know it's a VE ) did just cam timing with adjustable cam gears he picked up something like 15 whp... So go figure if you gain say even 5 hp from adjusting cam gears thats good for a all motor DE... So it just up to what you want. My personal opinion, get the adjustable cam gears and get a SAFC and just do a nice street tune and trust me you will be happy with it.

HKS Cam Gear Link (click)

^ I did a google search and ran into these. I don't think the price is that bad. I don't know of anybody running these to look up any feedback . It is HKS, so they should be good gears. I just don't like the pic they have on them. That is a belt driven gear.

EDIT: I think the price is per gear though......Hmmmm, that changes things a bit.

Call them and ask em if that is for just 1 cam GEAR. I'm reading that as its just 1 cam gear and looking at the price it seems that way too. But if not then yes that's a good deal, grab em if thats the case.

I've got a set of JWT cam gears I'm not going to use. They're 2.5 degree incrementals, though. I don't know how those would work for you, but like I said, I'm not going to use them.

Technically, I wouldn't use cam gears until I were extracting that last possible amount of power/potential from the motor. For instance, you've done hardcore tuning, and every bolt on you could think of, and didn't want to send the head off for some re-working. Just my .02, though

PM me if you want them, I'll let them go for what I paid for them.

^I know I know lol........I'm trying not to spend to much money on this as I have something else in the works ........ How many HP's do you think I am choking down by not havin the head down? The highport head flows better than the lowport, so I didn't think it would really be necessary for the daily. I'll send you a PM on the gears. You have any suggestions on running the stock ECU vs something better?

I would definitely go with a Calum at a minimum.

I've seen "common" bolt on builds that still run out of fuel. IMO engine management it's recommended if you want to make more power. I've seen gains from 5whp to 10whp with a conservative SAFC tune. I wouldn't really worry about cam gears on a DE.

ohh BTW... I didn't see an intake on that list. You'll probably get more gains with a JWT pop charger than with the cam gears.
