Wasn't there GSC's that were snapping too? My cams were bought new, but I've never paid attention to the numbers to look for of the bad batch. My S1's haven't been installed so I just need to go out to the garage and check.

 

I've been running the S1's for about a year now.. Car idles/runs perfectly (except the clutch went out recently)

Can't comment on a power increase because I did a bunch of other mods at the same time though.

 

Didnt seem to be an S1 problem. I think Cams after turbo is about the same as Cams before turbo...either way you win.

None of the cams that are part of that batch are likely to be in circulation anymore but you can ask for a pic to make sure prior to purchase.

upgrade

 

I bought my S1's from a good byddy that had been sitting on them and just wanted to get rid of them. They were far cheaper than a FP Red and couldn't pass the deal up. I guess I'll call GSC and find out for sure for piece of mind cause they will be installed soon.

Thanks

 

Love the difference with M2s and Green over the greddy easy and the green... IX evo I say upgrade

 

My old S1s have been running for the last 3 years, my S2s for the last 2 years, and my new GSC cams as soon as I get them will get the counter started. I have no fear of the cams other than the possible batch issue which I feel has been adequately resolved.

 

I agree JB,
But I wouldn't advise people to take the chance if they have the EHH8 batch cams.

 

werd...changed the post to reflect thats what I meant as well.

 

So I need to look for "EHH8" on the cams? If I find this, these cams are pretty much useless, right?

 

Ok i appreciate it guys

 

hey do the gsc s1 cams give the car that nice and mean sounding idle? the wop wop wop sound lol

 

I didnt really notice much different from stock. But I like that. Stealthy.

 

If your tuner knows what he's doing he can make them idle like that. I believe I posted some vids earlier in this thread.

 

The point people are missing is that does upgrading cams on IX seem to give a lot of power?
From what I've been reading that it is not a big gain...maybe ~20whp on a stock or red turbo.

To me that is not a big enough gain for the money being spent. I'll be upgrading to a PTE 5857 turbo and running it on a stock motor. The turbo will have plenty of power that the stock motor can handle.
