The post questions the strength of JWT cams. Any useful info you have would be helpful

Thanks

 

If they are truly made from factory blanks, JWT is not to blame.

How do we know they ARE made from Nissan blanks tho?

 

someone should defiently call them to find out

 

You could call me and I could tell you alot of stuff phil....

IIRC there is a Nissan logo imprinted on the cams.. Someone should check for that.

 

I will check. I have a set

 

You have an extra set of Nissan cams or you have the JWT cams?


BTW, you fix the whip yet?

 

JWT. I am putting them in my motor for now.

Car should be up and running by tommorow or monday. I am f$$$ing pumped. I cant wait to strap it on the dyno

 

Every single JWT cam is ground on a stock Nissan blank. JWT gets blanks, because they grind cams under contract for the Nismo program. IIRC, anyone/everyone can buy blanks through Nismo as well..

Interesting... Where did you get this info?

 

It's common knowledge that JWT grinds cams for the Nismo program.. They also grind cams for a few high profile road race/drag race teams.. But, it wouldn't be appropriate to discuss names.

I know that there's a lot of mistrust with JWT, because of the incomplete/inadequate ECU tune for the VQ stuff, but thier cam design is second to none. Clark Steppler, the man behind all of this, has 20+ years of Nissan experience. He used to build engines/pit crew for Nissan's Baja truck's back in the 80's! If you get the guy on the phone, with a tech question, not only will he spend an hour explaining the problem.. he'll probably give you the history of Nissan in the process.

Anyway.. I know that you guys don't know me that well.. because I haven't been here that long, but, I've been dealing with JWT for almost 5 years. I know what goes into thier cams.. and you'll just have to trust me when I say that they know what they're doing.

See if you can get me a set of cams to "test" out


I will gladly put some in my car

 

We're testing a set in Bryan's engine. I'm going to be testing a set in my VQ35 that's going into my S13. I'll be N/A, so we'll see what kind of gains we can get out of them with tuning, etc..

Vq30 testing

 

I've been telling these guys this for years!!
