Careful swapping those cams, James. They have a tendency to snap if they are not installed properly...  | | | | | 10-15-2010, 07:29 PM | #693 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Fl Posts: 1,353 |

Once everything is in and running, then I will probably try the Turner chip first, then if I don't like it, I'll start looking for something different. | I spoke to Turner about doing the 3.5 maf and 24lbs injectors on a 2.5. They told me the 3.5 maf was not something the 2.5 could really use and they had no chip for it, even with S50 cams. I'm curious about this because I have all the bits lying around to do this mod to the M50 Club Sport we have here. __________________

Well, this will all be trial and error... I have no problem experimenting, but I don't have easy access to a dyno to fully chart the changes and progresses... this will all be "butt dyno" results, therefore subjective... __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

No, I hadn't really researched it yet...

they're 215/35/18, picked em up from the ecs clearance, the 17s were sold out but the 18s were at a price too good to resist | | | | | 10-16-2010, 05:52 AM | #704 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |
Lucky dog... well done. The rims look staggered, or at least from the pics, there seems to be more stretch/poke on the rears vs. the fronts.
my 17" Style 5's are running 215/40's __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.
