: S-4 Cams Subculture 09-01-2001, 01:35 AM Anybody know how much of a HP gain one can expect from a set of JWT S4 cams? ------------------ Thomas Fox 93 NX2000 http://www.geocities.com/socalserca/Homepage.html http://www.geocities.com/subcltr_nx2000/Homepage.html http://sites.netscape.net/napsz/importgarage spnx 09-01-2001, 07:08 AM Well, I just dynoed my car with the S4 cams, and I put out 142.6 hp, which is pretty good. However, my torque sucked! I only saw an increase of .9 foot torque, to a peak of 119.3. Something's up. Perhaps my very old Stillen header isn't a good match with the cams? I don't know. Subculture 09-01-2001, 11:12 AM What other mods do you have? I have heard that S4s make less torque than S3s, but gain more HP on top. ------------------ Thomas Fox 93 NX2000 http://www.geocities.com/socalserca/Homepage.html http://www.geocities.com/subcltr_nx2000/Homepage.html http://sites.netscape.net/napsz/importgarage spnx 09-02-2001, 03:54 AM Well, other guys with S3s and similar mods to mine dynoed higher, and with more torque, so I think something's wrong with my car, not sure what yet. I have the cams, JWT ecu with cam program, 2 1/4" catback, freer flowing cat, straight through muffler, JWT POP and a 1st generation Stillen header (which might possibly be a restriction). Strange thing is that I dynoed at 131.8/118 with just the POP charger and header alone. With the S4s, you should be putting out about 144/130. If you get them, bump your idle up to 1000, it makes life more livable, unless you like your teeth chattering at stoplights from the rough idle. Subculture 09-02-2001, 08:33 AM How much do they cost? ------------------ Thomas Fox 93 NX2000 http://www.geocities.com/socalserca/Homepage.html http://www.geocities.com/subcltr_nx2000/Homepage.html http://sites.netscape.net/napsz/importgarage spnx 09-02-2001, 02:58 PM They were the same price as the S3 cams, I think. Um, I *think* with the ecu that it was $1200 US. I would recommend you get the ecu program with them, for streetability, and cold starting stability. And they make more power then, too. 92SE-R 09-10-2001, 04:51 PM Man, Thomas, you don't need the ECU. Just run it without if you don't have the funds for now. It is not necessary but definitely helps. Shit, I just ran a month and a half with stock ECU on C3 cams. You think the S4's idle rough? You ain't seen nothing. LOL. Terrin 92 SE-R Subculture 09-10-2001, 05:40 PM Terrin, what cams did you have before the C's? ------------------ Thomas Fox 93 NX2000 Moderator 92SE-R 09-13-2001, 11:39 AM I had the stock 92 cams Thomas.
