These will need to be purchased to do the install due to how the cams are designed tolerance wise. So make sure you or your installer are aware of this when opening the heads.

These are a mild 263* cam, so as you can see we have more room to make some power with a cam that is more aggressive.

Is there a way to find out if.your car didnt come with the dlc coating?

Sadly at this time there is not. After going over all the info Nissan offers in FAST there is not one distinguishing factor other than the model year 2009 (Ends in September for Nissan, and October for Infiniti) So if you have a 2009 and want to prevent down time ordering the buckets is not a bad idea. Otherwise most dealerships can get them asap(As can we)

List is $21.63 each(12 needed) so expect around that but a little cheaper normally.

Elmo370z · 09-28-2015, 01:35 PM

Ok thanks

Also Daelen i noticed after having to describe it in another thread but the initial write up you had on the first page you state to "re-place" the vvel components on the back of the head but it should be clarified so there is no confusion that there is a lengthy not so well described process in the fsm for aligning the control shaft to the actuator and motor, and then for aligning the sensor and actautor once back in the car that should be followed to prevent timing/vvel errors/strange running behavior once reassembled. I just wanted to throw it out there due to the number of times i've seen someone service the cams only to run into problems at startup and have to tear it all apart again to fix it. I'm sure you guys did it but it is often overlooked in the whole process.

You are 100% correct on this.

This post was meant to be a "Hey, this is the REAL BASIC run down of what we had to do" so people didn't have to scroll through all 1500 pictures I took of it haha. Its a very detail oriented task for sure.

If I already have headers, will I still see similar gains on top of what i already have? Now I am pretty excited to see stage 2 paired with an improved intake manifold that several groups are working on. If they work together for good gains, I might have to give Sebz some more money.

chuckie311 · 12-03-2015, 11:41 AM

Pretty sure you will see the same gain's give or take a few..
i'm still waiting to see the stage 2 gains and hoping it will be released here soon.hoping for more horsepower up top..

brucelidat · 12-04-2015, 02:44 AM

The car had an Uprev tune before the install. Was it still Uprev or Ecutek? If it was Ecutek, then some of those gains could be form that as well as the cams. If it was still Uprev afterwards, than we can say it was attributed just from the cams.

Honestly it is hard to say, all signs point to yes, if not even more torque due to the increased exhaust flow. Intake wise, I honestly im not sure that any of the aftermarket intakes I have seen will add any power to NA motors. The factory intake is pretty well designed, just cant handle crazy boost pressures.

Spot on, the goal is to have the Stage 2s in a car in the next couple months.

We changed absolutely nothing other than Cams to keep it a controlled test. Same weather, UpRev tune with only the addition of the cams.

brucelidat · 12-04-2015, 01:34 PM

Can you post a video of the car idling and driving so we can hear how it sounds?

brucelidat · 12-07-2015, 03:24 PM

Any videos for sound?

MAMotorsports · 12-08-2015, 10:07 AM

Let me see if I can find some! There was one on the dyno, but all you can hear is the dyno.

It idles like stock honestly.
