Who wants what camshaft.... your help is appreciated.

[bretton]

Hi guys,

I am currently talking to Australia's premier camshaft manufacturer, Tighe Cams, about a new range of performance billet camshafts for the range of Hyundai models. This manufacturer previously supplied HVE with their billet camshafts, however for reasons that I do not know there were 'supply problems' which meant that HVE was not promotings these camshafts. WHatever the reason/s I am not concerned, and have been able to build a good relationship to ensure that I am getting off on the right foot to ensure a reliable supply.

Within a week or two, I should have prices and specifications for camshafts for the X3 Excel 1.5 SOHC & DOHC, J2 Lantra/RD & RD2 Coupe/Tiburon in 1.8 and 2.0 litre. These camshafts will be the same specification as ordered by HVE Motorsport.

I am wondering what kind of demand their is for the newer model Hyundais, primarily those with XD Elantras, GK Tiburons, and EF Sonatas. If you are SERIOUS about considering a set of aftermarket camshafts, could you please drop me an email at info@performancestylingcentre.com.au to let me know. Could you please include the following information for me:
- model of Hyundai
- month and year of manufacture
- engine capacity
- exhaust specs (4-1 or 4-2-1 extractors, diametre of cat back system)
- intake mods (cold air intakes, modified throttle body, etc)
- any head work or change in compression ratio
- RON of fuel being used
- transmission - auto or manual
- intended vehicle use - every day driver, racing, 1/4 mile drag,
- your preference for more midrange torque, or top end power
- normally aspirated, turbo, supercharged, or NOS
- your target power increase over standard with all modifications
- price you would expect to pay (please be realistic)

This information will bhelp me in my discussions with Tighe Cams to help develop new cams for cars where there is a genuine demand.

Thanks for your help and input.

Cheers

For all you V6 tibby and sonata guys, this is your chance to really open that 2.7L up! I made this topic a sticky for ya bretton so it stays up top and doesnt get lost in the clutter.

Hyundai Accent
April 2000
1500cc
Stock, but if i do the cam it'll be 2in. cat back maybe with 4-2-1 extractors
metal intake pipe with pod style airfilter
No compression or change to the head
98 RON Shell optimax
Manual transmission
every day driver, but fuel consumption not a big problem
top end power
normally aspirated, but with views of turbo
with all the mods id like to be looking at 130kw at the treds
maybe $400-$500

i own a 96 accent GT 1.5 L dohc engine
have u guys made cams for my particular car, and if so, what would they hold over stock cams, and gains of hp and also would they be wise to get if i was getting a turbo kit?

[stkhoo]

any good chance for a 1.6l beta camshaft........pleeeaaasssee

[skierd]

2001 Hyundai Accent GS (LC Chassis)

1.6L DOHC AlphaIII

4-1 header, 2" exhuast with hi flow cat, 53-55mm TB, extrude honed IM, short ram style intake or HVE CAI, headwork similar to RPW's stage2 http://www.rpw.com.au/New%20Website/...shicylhead.htm

93 octane (US)

Manual tranny

Normally aspirated

US$500-1000

This is for an daily driven car, but races on weekends in both 1/4 mile and autoXing with the occasional track day.

Looking for mid to hi end gains (3750-6500rpm) and willing/wanting a lopey idle. Willing to lose some low end torque for top end power. Peak power gains expected to be 6-10whp, but with 15-20whp+ gain in the meat of the powerband (4000-5500rpm) over stock cams. I've seen this done with SR20DE cams so its not too far fetched of an idea.
