Hey guys,
Has anyone looked into getting their own cam cut from a steel billet? I have read what MikeK says about needing to get the correct Nissan billet so that that components dont wear excesively on each other. How much is this true and to what extent? What other sort of issues should I be aware of (other than stronger valve springs). A company in Brisbane Australia have told me they are happy to create a custom cam for me. I will be moving to Brisbane shortly so I thought I might aswell drop in for a chat. These guys have been making camshafts for around 30 years so they are well respected and knowledegable. They haven't worked on an sr20ve cam before though they do have 8 normal sr20 cams from mild to very wild.
What sort of profile do you guys think would make for a good cam in the sr20ve? Should I just go for a n1 cam copy or go a bit wilder?
Im only speculating at the moment, and due to moving, i probably wont go ahead until after xmas with this. I am just getting a bit sick of waiting for JWT, it seems to me they have missed their opportunity.
Cheers,
Gary
