Who will do it because I've been wanting to get mine done as well, I might just buy a new replacement one for my 5s and send it in.

about like 15-20hp more but i believe (please correct me if i'm wrong) it changes the 5s into a interferience engine with the cams grinded like that. i still think its worth it biggrin.gif

Roger. I won't post up a group buy until I get confirmation from the site and from the forum mods.

no way do they turn them into a interference engine.


they are hardweld cams, which is just material added then reshaped.

colt cams are regrind which is taking off material to the desired shape then compensating for that loss of material with thicker shims

ok. just wasnt sure cause on the mr2.com forums, they were talking about it that it would. thanks for the clear up Tigawoods biggrin.gif

and good, we got a couple of ppl interested. it'd probably be easier if we just have them make it and we'll just buy it new.

they cant do it without a core sent to them.

everyone interested would need to send in some stock cams for them to rework

+1, theyre not new. They need your cams to be shipped to them. Then they work on it approximately 1-3 weeks depending how busy they are, then another week to get back to you. Id expect it to be 3-5 weeks.

The 5GC GT had slightly more aggressive cams and made 5 more horsepower, so going with an as aggressive set of cams that the springs will allow should be fairly beneficial.

20whp on an untuned ecu. If tuned properly probably another 5-10whp.

No I don't actually. I don't know how to do it myself either but I'm having a cousin help me along with the repair manual.

Make a thread when you do it! Ill be waiting lol
Go to the engine/maintenance thread. There's the tech manuals. I recently commented it with a repair manual. It shows how to remove the camshaft and the valva clearance.
