kpr Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 go with what voldo suggested. 193-b. i'm going to be running the same soon. just to wake it up a bit. you'l get a bit more power going bigger. but unless you build everything engine and bolt on wise, to work together. you wont get the results you should. plus you will have all the drawbacks of running big cams on top of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thchad Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Yeah those 193-b's look like the best way to go, and with a freshened up head and trd springs it should go well with the itb's and a good tune. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Yeah good man! What car is the 4age going into? You need to chat with Andrew as he's got a sweet 85 that he's rebuilding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thchad Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Haha yeah I have he's put me onto a few real good places to find the last rwd parts I've needed, just need the altinator mounting bracket and bar and it'll be all sorted. Going in an Ae85 just like Andrews but hatch instead of notch back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyscar Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 maybe too late but I would suggest talking to Kiwi cams here in palmy. old guy who ran it for years and years worked for TRD doing their cams on rally/race cars through the 80's... will be the best money you've ever spent. got them to do a set of race cams for 20V.. asked for power between 4000-9000rpm and plenty of torque with standard compression and got exactly what I asked for! car pulls like a champ. also +1 for go as big as possible. 20V cams were 304in 292ex and very streetable would easily drive around town on them.

BobbyBreeze Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Touge, where did you hear that the dude running Kiwi Cams worked for TRD doing their cams? Its a different story to what I have heard, so interested to hear more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Mr Voldo, what do a pair of 4age 16 valve cams go for these days? Also, if I was to send you my cams, could you measure them up and give me a spec sheet? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Cams - Just 1 piece of the puzzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 TRUE DAT. I have no idea what mine are, would be good to know, so I can work out where to go to from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 you can work it out, if they are still in engine, and you don't want to pull them out. just need need dial gauge and degree wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBreeze Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Ours retail at $895 a set of new cams. Regrinds are around half that. Certainly can measure your cams and send you a spec sheet buddy, flick me a PM and we can sort it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Woo, new cams are way cheaper than I thought. I wont take them out now, as cars super close to being on the road again, but def want them measured, so will hit you up in the near future sir. Thanks for the info sir's!

flyingbrick Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I don't know the history behind that trd guy above- but I'm bloody sure I have heard that story about 5 times about different blokes. I know nothing but won't the trd development team be a bunch of Asians in Japan not some dude in nz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Touge, where did you hear that the dude running Kiwi Cams worked for TRD doing their cams? Its a different story to what I have heard, so interested to hear more.The original owner of kiwi cams was a guy named snow who worked for the Toyota GroupN rally team in NZ in the 80's as the engine guy - he is a magician with cams and Toyota engines. Only problem is he's in his 70s and sold the business a couple of years back. He's still available for info and all of his grinds are loaded on the computer, but apparently spends most of his time doorting around NZ in a camper van now. New owner is a guy called Terry Paterson who has a V8 powered 1st gem accord drag car. He knows v8s, but has noting on snow IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBreeze Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Ah yes, I know Snow. That's cool, I thought you mean't he designed the TRD cams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
