ok so im looking to do cams in my redtop, but im so confused, ive had people tell me i can run cams with no tune and people tell me i HAVE to have a tune, is this true? And can someone point me in the direction with getting cams and what kind and if i need a tune or no

redtop-mods:fmic3inch turboback no cathks wastegate @ 12psihks bovmishimoto rad with fanss14 t28apexi intake

what cams can i run if i can without a tune, and do i need to modify the head at while installing them?

thanks guys

i guess it would be a yes and no answer, it'll run but how good will it run with massive lopping cams and no tune or even if it is a mild cam if you want to extract the most hp just do an enpathy tune and don't worry about it

ok but im looking to install tomei poncams without a tune for now until i get my z32 maf and 500cc's and then a tune, will i be ok running the tomei poncams without a tune for a while?

how about getting your car to run right before you start modding internals.did you know your car is backfiring and this can very much be detonation and detonation on a sr is not good, since the ring glands tend to bust on the pistons...i have rebuilt a sr for a friend just this year bc his car was detonating and he ignored it bc he wanted to GO FAST!! it put him $1500 in the whole. his car was idling funny and backfiring just as you describe so get your motor on check before hand

[sean@z1]

Yes i would fix the detonation issues first then go for some cams.

z1...I have a friend in florence that had his 300zx up at your shop gettin twin gt28's earlier this year, you guys are good with what yall do,

sorry to get off topic, anyways

[sean@z1]

hey thanks we just opened up our new 240sx division here sorry for off topic

[slidestyle69]

kewl man, i may contact you guys later this year, im gonna be overhauling my car with a rb25, not sure if i wanna do the swap.

[sean@z1]

I had a s13 coupe with the RB25 the sound and feel of it is amazing the SR EH it was cool but not RB25 COOL

[slidestyle69]

thats what i hear, im excited to get it done, my car is down right now and i wanted to enter some events this year so i almost went back to an sr bc i have the money to get one and swap it but i decided to just bite the dust and save more and just get it done, i wanna get some of that RB'ness.

[michaelmontuori]

just some info, my timing was at 17 degrees so its now back at 15 and all set, it only backfired once today and it was a little pop the last few days it was backfiring at least 10 times and day and they were loud so i think im all set, now can we get back to the part about some cams please?

[michaelmontuori]

that alright with the threadjacker?

[michaelmontuori]

JK thanks for the advice guys!

[the converted]

Why not just save up and do it all at once? Your engine won't run perfect otherwise and could slowly damage itself.

[michaelmontuori]

not for nothing, but this is why i like nicoclub, the gurus have the greatest of ideas,

i bow down to you

[slidestyle69]

I agree, save up and buy

1. rings2.bearings3.headgasket4.arp head studs5.rocker arm stoppers6.oil pump/water pump/thermostat7.timing chain kit8.new gaskets thru most parts of your engine

then your mods

[sean@z1]

I have all you gaskets piston rings ect in stock except for SR water pumps cause they are on back order
