Hi,

Iven Tigth cams In Brisbane told me once for the right money he could do a billet cam.

 

What do you need billet for are you planning to use roller lifters or a wild race grind etc?

just after a certain grind :P

did he ever tell you the price or you never asked?

cheers

.... lots and lots..... more than any man could afford on the average Australian wage. You would have to be on the super rich list and then also get a hefty loan just to afford the down payment.

gjm, not necessarily true, i need to ring a guy about getting billets for my 1g made, but he was implying it was affordable...

Yeah I was just taking the piss. Not even sure what the real benefit of a billet cam would be anyhow.

You can cut a bigger cam but keep the rockers in the right orientation... ie- its better overall.

 

You need a manudacturer making the billet, so while they will still make them for modern cars I'm afraid 4K billets probably haven't been made for years. Like Lynx inlet manifolds, 4-2-1 extractors, LSD units...

Also you can hardface a normal cam to cut big grinds and keep

the same valvetrain geometry.

So.. does that mean you add metal by welding up the cheeks and lobe end, to keep the base circle in the same place??

allright people thanks
