^^^^ you better ******* get them, i had a Sport Tint Red SS/TC, you better represent the color!!!

 

Yes, the S1 cams are only about 8-10 degrees over stock. The gains are not going to be huge. Of course if you need the larger fuel pump lobe, the gains can be much higher.

 

Matt, a friend of mine who runs his kappa on scca events.

In his division, he's not allowed to have a more aggressive cams.

He is having fueling issues though since he's using ethanol.


Is it possible that you guys supply him w/ a stock cam BUT with a BIG fuel lobe?

thanks!

 

Forty's car needs the extra fuel that is for sure. If I get super aggressive with his wg DC even at 6000 RPMs it drops rail pressure badly.

 

I forgot he got the stage 1 cams not the stage 2. Stage one should have a better powerband for his BNR 2871 setup. Even if he gains only 12 whp he will be at 370 whp on the stock turbo and an otherwise stock engine.

 

We might be able to do something like that.

 

Zzp dosn't offer stage 2 cams and I believe earlier in this thread they said they don't plan on releasing the stage 2 cams

 

aight man, I emailed my friend and told him that you guys might be able to do it.

told him to call zzp and ask for you!


thanks!

 

lol, good luck with that. I'm 1400 miles away. He can send me an email, though. stattama@aol.com

 

Alright,

So we finished the cams last night, here are some pictures taken of the whole process.

Cleaning the ZZP Cams before installing w/solvant

Preparing Valve Cover to be removed

Valve Cover removed and began working on disassembling HPFP

Common leakage of Oil in HPFP

One thing I wanted to point out was that the silicon(when opening the top portion of the HPFP housing) did not have sufficient amount to create good seal. Most likely contributing to the oil seen about leaking in the HPFP.

New Cams in Place with Larger Fuel Lobe on intake cam

 

Applied Silicon to make good seal with gasket and top of HPFP housing to the engine.

JOKES ON ME!

lol, the loud tapping joke was kinda funny.

Nice work on the swap.

 

LOL @ the ticking sound. id get mad. what exhaust do you have? shes quiet.

 

I have a Solo Performance Mach 3" turboback. I could gotten the Mach shorty but this one only opens up loud after 4k.

 

Gets loud on the dyno.

Amazing numbers for a stock turbo car. Any track times though? I would much prefer to see a trap speed associated with this.

 

Once I get the engine done i will be getting all my suspension, wheels & tires. At the 1/8th ive been able to trap 87mph on stock tires.

 

And that was before when it was dropping rail pressure sometimes and going into limp mode. I think you can get a 91-92 MPH 1/8 trap easily now.

 

WOW 357 on a RWD kappa? Nice

 

Thank you so much for all the pictures! Seeing that you can remove cams without removing the timing cover was a good bit of knowledge to have. Thanks.

 

Np

 

Were those cams swapped on stock valve springs?

 

Yes, i was aware that zzp recommends aftermarket i was just trying to get absolute flow #'s for zzp cams to share to the community. My Supertechs are being installed this weekend.

 

Cool man. Last question, when you ordered these did you order the standard stage 1 cams or the larger fuel lobe for $150 more?

 

He has the larger fuel lobe.
