Kelford "King Cams" for EVO X!!!

We're very happy to be testing these Kelford "King Cams". (NINJA EDIT :: These ARE the same grind that have been available previously)

I've always had great results tuning Kelford's products on 4g63 and 4b11 motors. The Kelford 214-B cams always idled smooth and made great power even on pump gas, but we were happy to hear that the good'ol boys from New Zealand have developed a "max effort" camshaft application. Dave, from Headgames Motorworks, was the only ones we trusted to handle the delicate tappet duty and valve job that these cams can benefit from.




With a cam card like this, these bumpsticks are sure to please.





The first car we are testing this product on is "fully loaded".

Our Phase 1 shortblock, proven to be stout, has the important task of supporting the power,,,











We enlisted the help of a few well known manufacturers to help the build come to life.

In order to have the airflow that we needed, my favorite turbo kit had to be involved. We enlisted the services of ETS for their infamous long runner top-mount turbo kit.








Jack's transmissions provided the build on the gearbox, but we needed something special to accommodate getting the drivetrain to apply the power.

Competition Clutch was more than happy to be a part of this team.





With their input, we selected the twin unit with new style heavy "street flywheel" for smooth daily driving. The slave cylinder is also reversed, negating the need for clutch fork stops!!








We're very excited about this combination and look forward to keeping you updated on the progress. Keep your eyes on this one!

If these are actually the 214-Cs, I just had them installed in my car and it's been running for the better part of a month now.

My thoughts exactly, nothing new about kelford C's. Which is what the part number says.

Nice build regardless though.

Thanks for the interest guys. I have yet to see any feedback on the new cams. Nothing posted in the dyno results section on either forum. As per my discussion with Kelford's rep in the USA, this is a new grind.

I'll have Kelford chime in directly.

I wanna hear these bad boys run. I'm assuming there's an aggressive idle.

I'm confused you have been driving the car with those cams for a month now or you haven't gotten the car back with them yet?

I haven't been driving it, but the car has been driven (for break-in and such).

6262 -- Right to the corn juice with 2000cc injectors.

You should wait for the new FIC 1700's, should be a lot smoother than the dopey 2000cc's.

But I don't think they new FIC line is due out until spring.
