TRjames Member 12 Member For: 9y 7m 20d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 14/10/14 12:26 AM Share Posted 14/10/14 12:26 AM Hello all,Just wondering are people putting upgraded cams in the xr6t? Is it a mod worth doing and how do these motors react to this upgrade? Cheers in advance.Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ie: over 500rwkw. The stock cams do their job fine for anything under that. Someone more educated please correct me if I'm wrong. But one aftermarket name comes to mind and that's atomic. I'd say NO, not really a worthwhile mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a think what a good cooler and exhaust along with pipe kits and fuel mods ( injectors etc) along with good valve springs and --- say 1.2 bar of boost --- shows in terms of delivered power at 5800 - 6000 rpm. You will get your answers........... Edited 14/10/14 07:11 AM by BRK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through more boost in and keep it driveable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost about $900 and labour was included in valve spring install and it sounds incredible at idle for a straight 6. Should make a little top end around the 400rwkw but you will lose some streetability with idle etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for all the responses though. Cheers Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be different now thoughAnd btw people cam everything Most people who do up my model of celica throw 264 cams in with great results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmixr Donating Members 686 Member For: 13y 8m 4d Posted 15/10/14 10:05 PM Share Posted 15/10/14 10:05 PM More boost doesn't always give the desired affect. Especially in warmer weather...Besides..nowdays.. most tunes are set at psi levels to take advantage of mods performed. Who would tune to anything less..
