Ask the seller to email you text in English. It is the same as the first safc. Here is a link to one. http://apexi-usa.com/productdocument..._safc_wire.pdf
Also check out this thread: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...threadid=15891 great info. I wouldn't worry about hooking up the knock, unless you plan on doing turbo later. It would be too much trouble since there is so little documentation for version II. Hope this helps.

Oh yeah, glad you finally got it installed, but holy installation charge. Plan on any trips to the dyno/tuner soon?

Will it be possible to buy a 1 1/2 stage cam that is fitted correctly, and would it need anything else besides afc?

(B) Fitted with a 1mm washer between the bolt and cam pulley

Anyway I hope this clears up everyones questions - to clarify there is no problems associated with the camshafts and we have since gone back to our manafacturer and we will also check all future camshafts ourselves before sending them out to ensure the tapped length is correct.

Feel free to ask any questions guy's I will try my best to answer them.

So if we order from Vision, will we be getting the new cams that don't need retapping? Or is there still a chance to get one that needs to be retapped?

All future cams will have that problem rectified in the future and there are no other fitting problems.

I do not have a hp difference at this time between the 1 and 1.5 cam profiles and as always they will vary. If you are going to be fititng an aftermarket fuel piggy back system then go the 1.5 as it will work better on the car for larger gains. \

Think of it more this way - the more mods you are going to do to the car - the larger the cam you can go within reason.

If you want prices, talk to vision imports.

All camshafts are the same price regardless of which grind you wish to run on the vehicle. But as they say - contact visions for pricing.

No one carries them as in stock. But all of our other vendors can order them and we do carry a large range in stock ourselves in perth all the time. They are only 7 days on average to ship out.
