XS-Power is reliable if you get a cast iron exhaust manifold and don't turn the boost up high...they are the most bang for your buck..the average price for a turbo kit from there is like 450, how can you complain?...I'd give them a try.

 

Yeah... you go ahead with the cams, and tell us what happens since your friend is so budget oriented. Sorry, I have ZERO faith in XS Power products

 

I would never put xs power products inside my motor......External parts you can fix mostley, but think if anything goes wrong inside, bad things can happen to your motor

 

Oh yeah?...well maybe I have ZERO faith in you and that little oriental dude that's rubbing his beard as it drifts off into the wind...lol j/k

 

I wouldnt use them if XS paid me $1000 cash and gave me the cams for free.......

 

^^ agree....your prob better off with oem camshaft

 

Wow..now that's just stupid...considering you can buy pistons and rods for 1000...or a bunch of other things...and if the XS power ones failed you could just replace them.

 

No, whats stupid is you thinking that a cam failing is no big deal and that it cant/wont grenade your entire motor and trash the head...... bet that costs you alot more than $1000 have a nice day sir

 

i think they might just make your motor go

 

x2

 

Not really...and I don't think the cam would fail.

 

Any your basis for this opinion is?

Considering Crower Cams have been known to break along with Blox's, I am sure the quality and dedication that XS and SSAC puts into their products will naturally be embedded into their cams...... what do they cost let me guess $299 new?

 

Risky imo. Over here in the UK XS Power are covering their manifolds with ceramic coatings now (prob to hide the poor quality metal)

I used an XS Power 'kit' and ended up like many others replacing every part! Lucky my engine was built with good parts though.

My motto is usually don't knock it til you've rocked it but where internals are concerned i think it could end up being a costly lesson.

 

why not try to find some used cams on the marketplace? I have my web cams brand new for 250!

 

I'm not sure what they cost new...but if he's getting them for free, and if you'd be getting paid 1000 to put them in your car, I don't really see why you wouldn't...I mean in your turbo car hell no I wouldn't put them in but any low HP set-up should be able to tolerate them whether they're made of shitty or the utmost quality...Also, I haven't heard of Crower Cams being known to break...under extreme power I presume?

 

it has been scientificly proven that xs power camshafts are made from pot metal.

 

even with the theoretical 1000, if they were to break it would wreak havoc on the head. more than likely making the head a door stop.

with the power being made on stock cams, and the power from the skunk cams over the ctr's, thats not enough to sway me towards xs cams.

and i have to agree with their past track record, of unreliable service, i wouldnt put them in my engine.

the op asked us for opinions, we gave them. if you dont agree with them, so be it, crack a beer and relax.

and i was just thinking, if they did break and hung a valve open, thats gonna far exceed 1000 to repair.
not saying i wouldnt like to see it if it did happen.

 

 

Not to change the subject...but what do you drive?...I saw the 10.4 in your quote...just curious

 

2007 chevy silverado classic 2500
the numbers in my signature are my t3t67ho powered gsr. was at 28 psi. i chose ipg v1 cams.

 

Oh ok, cool. Do you still have the car? You must have been spinning all the way down the track, ha.

 

sitting out in the garage waiting for next friday.

 

Sounds good...do you have a list of the mods?...i have an 03 rsx right now that i'm selling to get another integra gsr and I plan on boosting it, possibly on stock internals.

 

done thread jacking. ill pm.
