Bigger cams, and high compression pistons

rod_88 · Oct 17th, 2007, 03:07 PM

Alright here is the deal; im currently in college, & I have a 95 altima which I plan to keep later on, but, I wanna install a roll cage probably next winter and a set of buckets with a four point harness. But heres the real question, where can I find bigger cams, and high compression pistons? I try to look everywhere, but they are no where to be found.

. I also plan to get a manual trany

, and a stiff as heck suspension

! Yeah, no turbo for me

ima rock this baby like this:

Could just put a small block 5L V8 in it.

Guess nobody modifies these engines for racing, as there are no aftermarket cams or pistons available.

Cams:
Jim Wolf Technology website

There are cheaper out there bbut these are some of the best

Pistons:

Dude, I love you. I wonder how my car will idle with these suckers. I wonder what the sport compact car mag, would say about a highly modded out altima. lol They would call it smut prob.

but Yeah, Im gonna rock them stuff. Would a small block fit?

they also have a stroker kit for the KA, from Brian Crower....its for the 240, and i called them, and told them that the 240 is RWD, and our Alty's are FWD, and the dude, said that the Stoker kit would work. it would make the engine from a 2.4 to like a 2.6 maybe 2.7 dep. on the comression u want

Oh, wow, i need to look into it. Idk, but I would love to have pretty high compression.

Altiman93 · Apr 3rd, 2008, 01:44 AM

yeah, i didnt think they made stroker kits for the KA, untill i seen in ad in Import Tuner, but it said for the 240, so i made the call, asked them, and they said it would work...i would love to have a bigg. displacement turbo'd engine

I did my homework and it turns out that having a stroker kit aint all its cracked up to be.

Buy what you can afford. V3's are supper agressive, and have to be tuned, but V2's and JWT cams will work great.

Also check and see what Crower (not Brian Crower) offers.

If you can afford them, JWT cams work well. I have/had them

Altiman93 · Apr 14th, 2008, 01:52 AM

i can afford them, but i want to use one, that i can later use if i end up turboing my car.

and i want something that sounds good at idle as well

You can use them both with turbo. Jwt works better, and they do lope a tad bit at idle.

an agressive idle?
