looking for cams and cam gears

[stillena33driver]

does anyone kno where i can find a sweet *** deal on some cams and cam gears for my 03 nissan maxima thanks guys

[Loki2daMax]

i wouls like to know also

It's doubtful they exist. The later VQ's use variable cam timing. I've never heard of any for the VQ, but at best, I'd think it would only exist for the exhaust cams, but I'd be inclined to say they do not exist for the VQ.

[C-Kwik]

I should be clarify that I was referring to the cam gears only.

i dont know of any "sweet *** deals" but i know you can find a set of camshafts on sportcompactonly (which is a nico supporter) for about $1,000. i think stillen may also sell a set, but i dont really remember off hand.

Stillen sells cams for the VQ35. http://www.stillen.com/product...00035

What are you planning to run for your engine management once you get a set of cams? I had some Jim Wolf cams in my old Sentra (S2's I think) and the idle was lumpy. Basically with an ecu retune it would have smoothed things out a little as well as gotten the most HP out of them. I mean, sure you are gaining a little but you are leaving just as much hp on the table at the same time. I can not say enough for engine managment tuning!

here's JWT

PART NUMBER: A3503-N00C2

THE JWT C2 PROFILE IS CONSIDERED A RACE GRIND AS ARE ALL OF OUR "C" SERIES CAMS AND IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH JWT SPRINGS. THIS IS A DESIGN WE ARE EXTREMELY PROUD OF, AS IT IS A VERY TIGHT DURATION FOR THE LIFT AND REQUIRED AN EXTREMELY PRECISE PROFILE TO SAFELY MAKE THIS LIFT AND STILL STAY ON THE STOCK FOLLOWER DIAMETER. THE TIGHT DURATION AND HIGH LIFT ALLOW THE C2 TO PERFORM WELL AT MID TO HIGH RPM IN NATURALLY ASPERATED ENGINES AND YET THE C2 HAS SEEN OVER 800HP IN BOOSTED FORM!

PART DESCRIPTION: C-2 JWT CAMSHAFT SET VQ35DE 261 DEG. / .456" (11.58MM) LIFT RACE CAM SET FOR NA AND BOOSTED ENGINES

PART NUMBER: A3503-N00S1

260 DEG DUR. / .428"(10.9MM) LIFT, INT.

WILL NOT WORK ON 2005+ REV-UP ENGINE WITH EXH. CAM CONTROL.

PART DESCRIPTION: S1 CAM SET FOR VQ35DE**. JWT S1 BILLET CAMS ADD 15+HP WHILE MAINTAINING EXCELLENT DRIVABILITY AND GOOD IDLE QUALITY. EVEN MORE AWESOME WHEN COMBINED WITH A TUNED EXHAUST AND OUR POP-CHARGER INTAKE SYSTEM.

do you know if the reprogrammed ECU from technosquare be able to work with the JWT cams or would I still require the ECU from JWT?

[nismo1219]

hey bro - check out all the goodies that come with a greddy emanage ultimate! for engine management, thats the way ill go when i get the cash, plus i have heard alot of good about it as well!!

[Q45tech]

How will you pass emissions with cams and ecu change?

[nismo1219]

why wouldnt it pass as long as the CEL wasnt on??

[brianw]

Technosquare should be able to handle the ECU reprogramming if you don't want to go to JWT (or if you already have a TS ECU), especially if you're willing to fork out the cash for a custom tune.

350Z cams will fit, so you have tons of choices-- I'm really only familiar with the JWT 350Z S1 and S2's, though. I don't think C2's are practical on a street car without extensive ECU tuning, plus the lope at idle will make passing emissions a dicey proposition at best.

[95prmax]

question do you have the 3.5 or the 2.5 if you have the 3.5 you can use the r-tune cams or are they called z-tune cams for the 350z they bolt right in with no problem

Normally I wouldn't post FS's here, but since you asked: I just picked up a set of very very low miles (like less than 1k) 2002 Maxima VQ cams. They were from a new engine torn down as a racing parts donor that weren't used. They are stock now but as someone here mentioned there should be several grind choices available for 350 etc. (a race grind would be a very bad idea for the street I think) A new core set is 640 from Nissan, but I'll take a reasonable offer. I'll also post some other FS's later of a few more very select VQ engine parts. Please email [email protected] if you would like them-they are sweet..peace. Jim
