1993NX1600canadian

Hello I have a 1993 NX1600. I already had put in intake, headers, custom exhaust. But I recentlry bought a reprogrammed JWT ECU and JWT GA16DE cams. I put the ECU first and the cams 2 months later. To start with, the difference with the ECU was very impressive and gains were accross a broad part of the poweband. The ECU ended up costing me about 1300$ canadian, not cheap no. I JWT had told that the turnover for reprogramming the ECU was 4 to 5 weeks. Well I waited for my ECU 11 weeks, ie, all the summer. However, the wait was really worht it. I was so happy when I got them, and have been ever since. Just an advice to anyone who might want to buy one, it may take a while. As for the cams, I ordered them and got them a week later. However, repeated calls to JWT and questions on this message board assured me that an average mecanic would be able to install them in a minimum time of an hour and a half, but I figured it would be more like 2.5 to 3 hours. I was also assured that no other parts were needed, that the cams would fit right in, no new shims, valve spring, anything. So I thought the installation costs were something I could relatively easily absorb. I left my car at my local garage, where all my previoust installements were done, on a sunday night. I endeed up getting my car on wednesday afternoon with a bill for 9 and half hours of labor, plus new shims. The cost of installing the cams had now come to close to 1000$ canadian whereas the cams cost 750$ canadian. This was well over what I had planned to spend, and even what I had to spend. If I would of known about the real installation time, I would never of bought the cams at this time. I dont know who is right JWT my local mecanic, or the three nissan dealers who told me that the minimum time for changing normal GA16DE cams is 5.5 hours, or even the performance garage that gave me the same estimates, but I sure would of liked to have known the truth before buying the cams. I have been going to the same mecanic for many years now, for the three cars I have had. Therefore, I dont really see the reason for him to overcharge me, since he hasnt in the pass. Still, the cams are amazing, they pull incredibly hard till the redlinen and would recommend them to anyone with a GA16DE. Only, I would of like for JWT to tell me that the installation time would be a bit longer than 1.5 hours, quite a bit longer. As it stands now, I am more bitter than I am happy, even though my car goes faster.
