Cams for -5s


Recommended Posts

What is your new setup?

Nothing too exciting, stock bottom end NEO with new bearings/spool crank collar/spool oil pump gears (so I can rev the tits out of it). Crank will be balanced too.

Basic head work, one of Tao's prototype SAT turbos. I'm aiming all in by 4k, and 420~440kW.

The plan was to keep it stock looking and make as much power as possible with -5s because it will be a weekend car, Then when I get over the power I'll go single turbo.

But picking a cam for both set ups seems nearly impossible.

Damn! That will be an expensive exercise! 

Why not do it once and do it right? 

Keep the boost down on the single then turn up the wick when you get bored of the power?

Do you have the 5s already?

What sort of single will you be looking at? How much power do you want? RPM limit? Where do you want you power to be? 

How long do you plan on keeping the -5's?

I already have the 5s, just need to make dump pipes,
it should not be too expensive of an exercise, i am welder/fabricator, so basically my time and bolt ons.

I was thinking something like a gtx35
if i go single 500kw anything close would be good, i think i have high exceptions tho.
would like to be safe as possible also. 8000 rpm

Has your head been relieved for a high lift lobe?

What springsdo you have and are you willing to change them?

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
