Thread: Kelford 184 Series

Hey,
Has anyone tested this series yet? Im really interested in what kind of build would be required to maximize the 184-c camshaft...

Since their release I havent heard much buzz about it...

You will need 12.5:1 2.0L & head work to make these cams work.Most people will loose power ,its not a bolt on cam for Daily driver.If its your only car I suggest N1's.

endorsed..... these cams wake up under way more mods..... exhaust manifolds, headwork,
c.r. track use basically

would you say these cams are one of the best for a 2.2l, 12.5:1 cr, sr20ve with a port and polish?

I have a set of 184-C and I love them as the power delivery on the track is wicked. I would like to point out that the 184-C made in the last 10-12 months is different from the previous 184-C grind so digging up results from up old posts won't give you a fair idea.

I can guarantee that they will be horrible without high compression, which makes sense as that's what they were designed for. I had Franklin Stage 4s previously and they were also very nice on a high compression engine but not on an unopened block unless it was a 20V. The Franklins made 18 more whp on my high compression engine than they did on 2 cars using them on an unopened block, similar would happen with the 184-C.

My build:

Kelford headwork, cams, springs & camgears.
8cw crank with modified SR16VE pistons
3.8kg flywheel
Modified Fujis with shortened secondaries
custom intake & Blox velocity stack.

did you dyno your car? whats you whp if you did? your set up sounds pretty nice to me! good work.

Doing a power run on the dyno in a couple of days & I'll post up the results.

We currently switched to Kelford cams in our S15 Drag Car with good success. But we are running a totally different profile. Kevin over there is a really knowledgable person.

Kelford has a newer version of the 184c cams than the ones i recieved in Nov '08. I accidentally got the spec sheet for them.

Right now the biggest issue for us in getting them to make the most power is getting them degreed in and setting lash properly. Stock lash on a stock head produces some less than stellar degreed specs.

I am waiting on shims to hopefully get us back on track.

Mazworx may have an updated off the shelf cam or maybe their own custom one and I do agree that Kevin Ban is super helpful and knowledgeable
