Camshafts+CA18DET+312.5whp@18psi+regrinds

Post by **boost_boy** » Fri Mar 07, 2003 1:07 pm

Hi all,

Just wanted to give you guys a crack at them 1st! I'm selling my famous camshafts which were done for me by colt cams in canada for a mere $350.00 OBO. These cams have proven to be very remarkable and were worth the $475 I paid to get them done up! The idle is almost better than stock. The cams seems to take effect from about 2000rpm til you blow your motor:D My first dyno pull was 284whp@15psi with these cams. I added 1 degree of timing from 5000rpm to 6500rpm and I peeled of 299whp@16psi. We waited 5 minutes, cranked the car back up, adjusted the boost controller and ripped-off 312.5whp@18psi of boost. The true feel of what the cams did is when the car is under load. Through 1st and 2nd gears, I was able to rev the engine to 9000rpm and was nearly at 80mph in 2nd gear. Through 3rd and 4th gear the engine sounds like that of a motorcyle especialy from 4th to 5th. It pulled without mercy to redline and assisted me in the rude spanking of some really bad cars (ie, Z06 vettex3, C5 vettex2, turbocharged IS300, AudiTT, S2000, multiple supras, RX-7's just to name a few) and none of these accusations are exaggerated;) So without further a due, if interested, hit me up at [email protected] . The only reason why I'm taking them out is because I purchased some HKS cams on ebay and lord forbid if they don't perform like the ones I'm taking or better, I will be pissed:mad: But, my loss will be someone else's gain "trust me on this".

Boostboy, this is a bit off topic, but you have some pretty impressive numbers at 15 psi (I think) I did some searching and could'nt come up with all the stuff you have done to that engine, care to share? If it's a closely guarded secret, thats cool too

I'm thinking about either an CA18, SR20, or RB20 swap down the road with the modest goal of 220-250 whp. Its so hard to decide between them, but I have until the end of summer. Anyway, thanks!

hahhah boostboy, dude, were those HKS camshafts bought recently? and if so, were they the 272's? I tried convincing my friend to pick em up, but he opted for a milder camshaft. Good luck on the sale of the cams

I bought the cams because it had adjustable cam gears and I was hunting for them foolishly. Didn't really need the cams, but what the heck it's only money (made to be spent and made again to be spent).

The physical engine was stock except for the regrinds! Fuel management is controlled by an SDS efi engine management system which sprayed fuel through MSD 50lb/hr injectors. Boost was provided by T3/T04B super 60, regulated by an HKS wastegate and fuel was pumped by a 300ZXTT pump. Blitz BOV expelled excess pressure and I had very skillfully welded intercooler to hide behind my front bumper (very efficient). Hope this helps.......

what the deuce? what a coincidence, that's set is the same spec as the ones my friend got from ebay recently. And it came with camgears too?!?! what the heck? They have a 264 intake Duration and a 256 exhaust Duration. Thier Lifts for the intake and exhaust sides are both 8.5mm?!?! whack! and dude, i like how you view money as a means and not an end in itself. Much respect.

PS. Colt cams isn't too far away from my place (vancouver --------> coquitlum = 20-30 min drive)

Awesome, thanks boost_boy, I'm busy collecting information and its always good to have an idea what will work and what wont, that sounds like a really nice setup you have going...think your going to get that 11 sec. street car you want on stock internals? I'm thinkin ya will...

Post by **boost_boy** » Fri Mar 07, 2003 1:07 pm

The problem is getting that power to the ground and that's why I opted for the hybrid transmission with a Helical LSD diff. My other one was an open diff set up. Dan, what type of cam gears did your boy get? Theones I have now are home made and they did one heck-of-a-nice job, but they have no scales, Oh well. The cams are both 264 and were in almost new condition. I've already installed them, but I'm not ready to put the engine in just yet. Talk to you guys later! I got to do a clutch and cams for a 200SX SE-R and figure out why this guy's 240SX w/CA18DET won't rev past 2000rpm. Sounds familiar, don't it!

haha, 2000rpm...sounds like what happened to me. ill give you a hint, if he has a napkin as an intake, replace it with a real intake then reset the ecu.

Somebody in japan had either an AFC or black box and cut the green wire with black stripe and had a butt connector on it. I tested the AFM and it read beautifully. I ran a line from the afm to the ecu and "Bingo". But the harness was below ghetto standards and the car just needed to be rewired. He opted to buy my last SDS system and I'll be done with the install tomorrow. Time to get paid:D

Hey boost boy, i got a few questions regarding wiring, if you could email me at [email protected] with some answers or right back here it would be apreciated. Im putting the ca into my 95 240, gonna run everything stock at first other than built internals and new clutch, that way i can upgrade once the motors in the car that way i know all the **** works. What i want to know is if there is a wiring diagram or some sort of helper or place that i can send my wiring harness to that can help me when i wire everything in. also im a little unsure, do i have to splice the wires from the harness to the motor and splice the wires from the car together and then rewire them back into a plug that goes to the ca computer, cause mother f@cker that doesnt sound like fun, and i dont know of anyone who has done this into an s14 i would really appreciate a little info. also im still wondering which mounts to use, were to get a down pipe( will sr or ka work) and what is the best way to route piping so not to move battery. any info would be great.
