hey guys,
want to get a little more kick from the 5s without going turbo. anyone got used or new 5sfe 294 cams laying around they want to get rid of?

+1, Same boat.

haha. i know you could ship your cams to web and get it but i just wanna see if anyones got some first.lol if not i'll prob end up shipping mine

Who will do it because I've been wanting to get mine done as well, I might just buy a new replacement one for my 5s and send it in.

about like 15-20hp more but i believe (please correct me if i'm wrong) it changes the 5s into a interferience engine with the cams grinded like that. i still think its worth it

webcams does it. they sell or regrind

I wander if theyre willing to do a group buy for cheaper. Hmmmm......

I'd be in haha.

haha. that's 3 for us.lol.

I'm going to email them and see what they can quote for us 3.

I'd be in too depending on the price.

Roger. I won't post up a group buy until I get confirmation from the site and from the forum mods.

no way do they turn them into a interference engine.


they are hardweld cams, which is just material added then reshaped.

colt cams are regrind which is taking off material to the desired shape then compensating for that loss of material with thicker shims

I would also be in depending on price.

ok. just wasnt sure cause on the mr2.com forums, they were talking about it that it would. thanks for the clear up Tigawoods

and good, we got a couple of ppl interested. it'd probably be easier if we just have them make it and we'll just buy it new.

they cant do it without a core sent to them.

everyone interested would need to send in some stock cams for them to rework

+1, theyre not new. They need your cams to be shipped to them. Then they work on it approximately 1-3 weeks depending how busy they are, then another week to get back to you. Id expect it to be 3-5 weeks.

The 5GC GT had slightly more aggressive cams and made 5 more horsepower, so going with an as aggressive set of cams that the springs will allow should be fairly beneficial.

ok. i have two spare set of cams off my other two 5s, so i'm still down.

Awesome. They emailed me to give them a call to discuss about the group buy.

Im in to.

anyone have an idea of what sort of price this would be? I am still totally down if I can afford it.

I contacted WebCams already and the price id def fair. I'm just waiting on the admin to give me the green light to post a thread. Been waiting for 2 days....

That's awesome. Anyone have an idea of how much horsepower this would add?

20whp on an untuned ecu. If tuned properly probably another 5-10whp.

Do you know of any threads that explain how to install the cams correctly? If im doing this I dont want to screw it up

No I don't actually. I don't know how to do it myself either but I'm having a cousin help me along with the repair manual.

Make a thread when you do it! Ill be waiting lol

Go to the engine/maintenance thread. There's the tech manuals. I recently commented it with a repair manual. It shows how to remove the camshaft and the valva clearance.

i was reading a bit earlier in this thread, that u might need some motor work done? can someone explain that to me and how indepth does this motor need to go?

i was told. its a direct bolt in. just make sure to do the normal stuff like check valve clearance.
also tune it if you want to gain the full benefits of the cams

Awesome!! how much did they quote us?

I dont want to spill anything on here since the mods haven't given me the green light yet but I already put the info out on fb. Price is a really good deal. Thats all I can say for now. Lol.

would they be able to throw in a set of the 272 cams into the mix for the same price? All the hardwelds for our motor are the same price on their site.

haha. sounds good to me then.

Yeap. Any grinds from the 5sfe.

Aight. Group buy post is up!
