Anyone know anything about aftermarket cams for the tc?

 

Brian Crower says he has them in the works and we are looking at mid summer... That was from a call about a month ago.

 

how bout aftermarket intake manifold...is that out already or in the making

 

FINALLY!!!....LOL theres actually some dudes on this forum thats concerned about important ____ like cams and manifolds........i was soooo fed up of these kids askin bout making their tc's jdm by stickin on celica badges...lol

 

btw im interested in both cams and an aftermarket manifold.....that 2.4 needs some cams to really unleash da beast..lol and yess an aftermarket intake manifold would definitely be a help...right now im on a 100shot wet system...wanna up the shot to a 125 but im worried the manifold will blow off...plastic pos!

 

Sry I'm noob but what exactly do cams do? There are the piece in the cylinder right? You get lower compression ones? What kind of gains could come from this and are there other mods that need to be done for these? Say port and polish or something?

 

well on our cars we have 2 cams one intake cam and one exhaust well thats all DOHC. the cam has lobes and it opens the valves. getting a performance cam has a wee bit larger lobe which opens the valve more letting more in etc,etc.thats a quick briefin for ya...hope it helps..theirs more to it but thats it, havin a better intake mani with a better runner set up gets more air in and match it with cams you can have a decent increase in power...it is a 4cyl so its not gonna be like a cam in a camaro or a cobra but it will be somewhat of power mybe 11-15whp possible a hair more. more worth it if you install it all yourself not pay another 500bucks to get someone to do it

 

i had skunk2 stage 2 cam shafts and intake manifold in my del sol and it made a WORLD of a difference

 

cams, turbo, and e-manage ultimate on my list

 

same here but on a gsr, not fast enough so i built and boosted lol then it got stolen...so boys and girls dont buy a honda and put money into it for that reason...neways this is scion..id love cams and a mani its a nice power band yea turbo is better but ill blow my car up like i did my first honda...you always want more and more

 

There was a company who actualy made a aluminum im and posted pics but I guess they never made anymore. It was a shame the im would probably give some real good gains the stock ones is like a maze with all the bends.

 

i'll take some cams and a manifold if the price is right. well either way i'd still get them just not as soon. lol

 

id be more worried about your pistons melting

 

yeah that guy posted here but got heat for the price of the manifold he produced. in SUPERSTREET magazine for july thier is a power section for the tc wich jotechracing.com show WEB camshafts are available as one of thier mods. you guys can try them to see if its true
