JUN exhaust cam shaft finally arrived

Doing cams on a car with VVEL is a big thing. If anything your car will be less reliable than a low-boost build.

It's very easy to say a boosted car running 500 horsepower is less reliable. A single turbo set up or a twin turbo set up at 3 or 4 pounds of boost will easily run close to if not 400whp very very safe. Boosted cars need extra up keep like regular boost testing and making sure your afr is in limits. I myself is pretty scary about opening the motor. That vid in the beginning definitely shys me away. It pretty much sounds stock.

I've been to a lot of dealerships where they won;t touch modified vehicles, let alone install parts that are endorsed by them. Just because it's being installed by a Nissan dealer doesn't mean it's all going to be peachy. I hope it does, but I wouldn't use that as a rule of measurement. With the exhaust cams, it is advised by JUN to upgrade your valvetrain as well. I see this as just a big of a risk as going FI.

Not saying every Nissan dealer is going to do it but if they say they can do it, most likely will. Of course the labour won't be cheap at the dealership.

No valvetrain upgrade needed for this mod, AFAIK from JUN and Concept.

Sub'd

The car is going in next weds to get the cams installed. They are charging me 1500.00 for the labor and the Nissan manual calls for two full days of work. They have to make sure the exhaust lifters are not to loose or two tight due to the increase duration of the cams

370Z Purist · 09-18-2012, 12:50 AM

definitely looking forward to this.

Navyboy916 · 09-18-2012, 01:04 AM

red6spd · 09-19-2012, 12:49 AM
