hey i just helped my friend installing some cams for his VR6. and i love the idle noise. but those add like 25hp.. the ones for the max are like 12 hp right??? i was just wonder when u guys installed this cam did the ilde change?? noise etc. power?

is JWT the only one that makes camshaft for the 4 gen max?????
what did u guys change??? chain, tensior, water pump etc. cause im looking into this.

thanx

 

What were his cams designed for? What was the profile of the lobes? Our cams are made for mid-upper rpms, like the MEVI. His maybe are for low-mid rpms and are maybe more aggressive. The JWT ones are pretty mild from what I hear. The idle does change. There is a guy here that has them along with the cattman headers, MATT or something.

 

the cams sound mean where they are loping. With the maxima and jwt cams, you'll have to raise the idle to 900 rpm to get rid of that sound

 

Iron Lung down in AZ has cams and headers. There is some video with his car with crazy lope in the idle and no catback, sounding like a serious race car.

 

He has the car tuned in now, it is purring like a kitten, and fast as h**l.

 

how fast? if its fast enough that may be the route i may go

 

It'll restyle your hair in a matter of seconds...

 

PhxBlue: did you get those cams installed yet or what? BTW love your car.

 

The factory cams in the 95-99 VQ have a shorter duration with advanced valve closure and a slight amount of overlap to help promote low-end power. They're not high-end cams at all. If that was the case they'd have a longer duration and a later intake valve closure angle than they do. For top-end, the extremely oversquare design of the engine (3.66in bore x 2.89in stroke) gives a lot of valve area to work with, and that's where the top-end comes from with the MEVI. Not the cams.

 

Thanks for the accurate information, Stevtec.

 

I wish! I have been way too busy to have the time yet.

 

Stop encouraging these people to use dinosour math.

It's 93mm bore x 73.3mm stroke)

 

o man i wanna hear a video how it sounds!!!! so it does sound like it wants 2 stall??. plus im looking 2 do all motor. first then bosst
whats the power increase on these again???
where are these cams ? does JWT have a site
i know stillen has then.

 

Sorry, good ol boys like me have trouble thinking metric.

Cam duration @ 0.050" lift, lift in inches, boring 0.030" over, etc. Metric = no compute.

I'll try to get it right next time.

 

I wasn't talking about the stock cams. I was talking about the JWT cams. From the dyno that was shown they didn't show any gains til after 4krpm with a bit of low end loss if I'm not mistaken.

 

Yeah I wasn't sure, that's why I said factory cams.

I've heard that JWT video. Lots of nice idle lope. The LSA is probably a lot smaller (lots more overlap) than the factory setup for sure.

 

Sorry for the confusion. I still have the video and listen to it often. It sounds amazing.

 

SteVTEC
send me the video!!!! pm me bro.. please

 

btw how many diff cams are thier for the 4 gen????????

 

There are only the JWT cams for now. You could of course go somewher to get some custom cams too. Just edit your post instead of posting them one after another within 5 minutes.

 

here you go. Enjoy

The VQ35 cams will also work if you get your cam gears machined to fit them.

 

That sounded sick. Sounded like an old v8. Not for me. But hey whatever floats your boat i guess
