The Great SR20 Cam List – V 1.03

 

 

I’m working on adding a new section for other assorted valve train components, mostly for valve springs and retainers.  Some manufacturers have specs for their valve springs listed, some don’t, so it may be a little spotty, but it should at least cover all the part numbers.  I’ll also include other miscellaneous items like cam gears, rocker arm stopper kits, etc.

 

 

Wanted: I’m still looking for the following specs, I know some of you probably know them.

           

Stock 94 intake cam

            Old JWT S2 cams

JWT S3 GTi-R cams

 

-Thanks, Calum

 

 

 

Note: Cam makers are never the most honest people.  Its not that they lie straight out, its all in what exactly they are measuring.  The problem is even larger here, with most of the cam makers being Japanese.  For instance JWT’s advertised duration is from .003” open to .003” closed.  You can probably take it to the bank that no Japanese cam maker’s advertised duration is measured exactly like that.  Also, a cam is more than just duration and lift.  I have assembled these numbers to help provide a baseline, but the amount of faith you put in them is up to you.  Hopefully what they can do (and what I went to all the trouble to get them for in the first place) is provide a flavor of what the cam has been designed for.

 

I compiled this list with FWD sr20s in mind (namely SE-Rs).  However, I tried to note when a manufacturer had either GTi-R or roller-rocker grinds available.  I did not note if they had S14 or S15 grinds.

 

I compiled this list for my own personal curiosity only.  I included only cams made from fresh billets; no re-grinds were listed.  There are still other cam makers out there, if I run across their specs or if someone who knows is kind enough to e-mail me (cjj6558@tntech.edu), I’ll add them to the list.  Also I’m sure I’ve made many mistakes.  If you spot one, I’d be happy if you told me.  If you buy cams based on this list, don’t blame me when they suck!

For GTi-R motor only, I don’t think these need to be shimmed. YMMV.
