Polak where are you getting these prices for sunbelts at 600 bucks? I want to know.

[jahnaboi]

Sunbelts for 600??!?! Count me in!

[e30s52]

/\They arnt real. They are just regrind cams.

[e30polak]

Here's the break down guys:

50-80 for m52 cams w/ trays from a junkyard/forum

250 to regrind the pair at American Custom Cam (look them up on google, very knowledgable guy here in good ole Cali)

Sell cams for 250-350 on r3v or bfc.

So at this point the least you have spent is 70, and if you got lucky your up 20 on the cams themselves.

Next, Bimmerworld has about 9 different tunes for the cams ranging from 260whp-280whp depending on how peaky you want the cams to be, if you have euro headers, and motor work, etc. for $549.

$549+$70= $619 at worst

$549=$20= $529 at best

Of course you should upgrade valve springs and either buy Bimmerworld's Vanos limiter, or buy the Dr. Vanos Stage 2 (which I will be doing). :pimp:

However, I'm gonna do the whole top end, timing chain, and upgrade the water and oil pumps when I do cams.

Reground cams are win.

[318isbmw]

Reground cams are win.

I agree. Gotta love em, and way cheaper than new ones.

Delta cams in Tacoma, WA is really good as well, know lots of m42 guys do them for regrinds.

[surebimmer]

And why are re grinds win? I thought regrind's get a different angle on the lobes the a fresh blank. Correct me if I'm wrong. And your guy has copied sun belts?

He can do any profile that you want. I want to copy Sunbelt's because they're proven, and have great tunes for them. You are correct about a different angle on the lobes with more aggressive cam profiles, but this can be compensated for with bigger valves.


BTW, Matt did you get your car tuned yet?

[jahnaboi]

I may go with re-grind cams on a later note. That's if I don't invest on a supercharger kit first.

Polak, did you re-tune your car yet? I'll be dyno'ing my car soon. Once I get my obd2 mid-pipes on with my stock e36 m3 exhaust I'll hit up the dyno. Hopefully my numbers are good. (crossed fingers).
