any of you fella's know of a shop that does cam grinding cheap enough for the average joe? after hearing grims car on sunday, the yella terra just all of a sudden needs a cam grind. the other car too!

 

anyone?

tighe? their 80 buck grind fee is pretty good, other places usually quote $95-$115. my cam was done by camshaft engineering in coorparoo, they're in the yellow pages

That's a good price. Wade in Melbourne charged me $80 11 years ago to do my 169x grind. Now THERE was a camshaft.. ;)

wade 169? - 41/70 75/36 291 degs adv duration

sweet. so where are tighe? and yeah i'm supplying the cam.

 

i found cragar performance do 'em for 100, but tighe is still cheaper

tighe hasent got either of my motors listed? does that just mean the pege is not updated?

 

maybe i'll just give him a call

Tighe is at wacol. Give em a call I'm sure theyd be able to grind any cam...

thanks.... but you know what i just relised?

 

the yellow rona does not have adj rockers! so i can't put a lumpy in it!

 

unless anyone know of a cheap 3s? ;)

i'd rather just cam the 2s for now but i have to find a way around the rockers

 

hmmmmmm.... what to do, i can't really pull it apart and make something as it's my daily driver.

 

atleast i can still put a big mother f@$k of a cam in the 22re! ;)

well mine should be pretty toey

 

full engine balance,

block decked, honed, and crack tested,

head shaved, port 'n' polish, bigger valves(20r)

2700-6700 range cam grind,

i think thats it......... yeah thats it......for now, muwahahahahaha!

 

decided not to go turbo.

 

i think it should go pretty hard once it's back together ;)

Rona Vrs Rolla

 

lol

 

thats a nice motor !!

R.E.S.P.E.C.T

 

Thats quite a shopping list...

 

Screw turbo... People who drive tough N/A's have more fun!

i am inclined to agree with you.

 

turbo is just a expensive wank factor thing.;)

 

i'd rather n/a anyday

 

teddy: yeah i hope for some exelent results.

lol

 

i still think if i had the option, i would supercharge, for the main reason that the power bank is more 'even' compaired to a turbo motor... if that makes sence!

 

but I'm more than happy with my Stock Na atm !! ;) :insane: :D

I want to build up my tough 4A-GE when I bounce back from debt...

 

Slowly, bullet proof N/A and go stick it up the turbo guys

 

Seriously out at carnell raceway, the turbos ate me on the straight, on the corners they were baby'ing the loud pedal cause they were oversteering so badly

 

A nicely sorted n/a would stick a big one up those lame turbo hairdrier bastards ;)

i agree. toyota's are known for builing bulletproof engines. and the fact that they take a floggin and keep asking for more, they are great for serious power.

 

22re's actually came factory with forged cranks! :insane:

 

and if you build a n/a engine correctly, i believe they are better than turboed enignes anyway. it's all in how you drive

i still think if i had the option, i would supercharge, for the main reason that the power bank is more 'even' compaired to a turbo motor... if that makes sence!

yes i think supercharging is much better. no lag, power all the time....... yes the future might turn my motor into a 22rze!
