antrx.com performance camshaft discussion thread
« on: Jun 8, 2003, 06:51PM »

edit: cam prices have been amended due to reasons beyond our control

antrx.com will be offering a camshaft changeover service, where we provide a good 2nd hand cam to be ground, and then, we will send the cam off to you in exchange for your stock cam.

the way this will work is that we ask for a $100 deposit on our cams + the cost of the grind & postage which is $150 for the grind, the plus the postage prices which are listed below..

destinationnormal parcel post (3-5 days)express post (overnite)
melbourne suburbsn/a$10.00
sydney$10.00$19.00
brisbane$12.00$26.00
adelaide$10.00$19.00
perth$19.00$42.00
canberra$10.00$27.00

quotes to other areas can be provided on request

after you get your antrx.com regrind, and once we recieve your stock cam in good re-usable condition, your $100 deposit will be returned. cams that will be used are generally in the 180,000 -> 220,000km age bracket. however, on your request, we can locate a low km camshaft for you at an extra cost.

here is a picture of one of our recently reground ka24e cams... (i applogise for the poor image quality)




these cams are good for a 15kw increase in power. they run well on a stock ecu and stock internals. they are a little bit lumpy on idle, but nothing that lessnes driveability of the car. they also work well on cars with no other modifications, however, the results of installing the cam would be more noticable on a car with other breathing/exhaust mods.

please note, that, these cams are for the ka24e ONLY payment is accepted by direct debit or money order (please pm me for details), no negotiations will be entered into regarding the changeover service. simply put, if you dont provide a deposit, you wont be getting a cam. your deposit will be returned to you once your stock cam has been recieved. you must also pay all postage costs on camshafts too and from melbourne.

by then you might have a choice of a couple of cams
i`m in middle of trying to get some blank billets for the ka motors that will be able to be ground to different specs
maybe start a stage 1, stage 2 series etc

you could have them as a special one-off order basis
if someone wants one they can order it but will have to wait for it to be made

so if i send you mine 300,000+ k's on it you wouldn't be getting that reground would you?

How will these go with the teamnse chip no probs?

if not, give us a couple of weeks and i'll most likely get one  ;D

low -> average km cams are preferred. this is because, if the next person to recieve a camshaft only has an engine with 200,000km on it, they wouldnt want to be installing a cam that has racked up 300,000km+

i think that for people with excessivly high km's on their cams will have to purchase another 2nd hand cam for their grind. or, if you can do without your car for a little while, you can remove your cam, send it to melbourne, and have it ground and re-installed in your car.

as stated in my original post, you need to pay for postage for your old cams to melbourne. you would have to pay for these costs in the first place if you were going to have your cam ground in melbourne. i'm running this as a non-profit excercise, and if i were to pay for postage of your old cams to melbourne, i'd be losing that postage cost every time i got a cam done and i'd rack up huge monetary losses over time. therefore, the cost of the cam to you will be as follows:

initial deposit + grind + postage to melbourne + postage back to you. then your initial deposit will be returned.


installation is relatively easy if you are confident with working on motors and you have the nescercary tools. you do not need to remove the head. you only need to remove the rocker cover.

i'll look into it a bit further. i think sssgtr has looked into turbo cam specs a bit, maybe he could help you out? i believe he designed his cam with the possibilty of a future turbo upgrade in mind.

is there anything that happens to cams over time, like do they gradually degrade or anything?  If i take my cam out what do i have to look for, with things going wrong with it... if that makes any sense  :P what i'm tryin to say is what is worng with a 300 000km old cam?

its just because that i'm trying to provide a change over service, so someone that has a car with say 200,000km on it would want to avoid putting in a 300,000km old part, its just a case of general wear and tear in most cases i suppose.

but something to look for would be scoring in the lobes, or even chunks off the edges.

at the moment i havent been able to locate a ca20e cam, so you might have to look at, possibly being without your car for a week or so and sending your cam to melbourne & then getting the same cam back.
