Cams for 2001G20

[slickkedar]

Does anyone make cams for the 2001?? I called up JWT and they said they dont make them.....why is that??

[G-Forces]

The 2000+ SR20DE's have a different valvetrain that will need a different cam than the earlier motors.

[slickkedar]

Do you know of anyone that makes them??

[b-b00gie]

best thing to do is to call JWT weekly until the start making them!

to be frank, i'm getting quite fed up w/ them not offering sh!t for the 2000+ models... hell there's the 2000/2001/2002 that could all benefit from this.

they didnt even offer a Pop Charger kit for the 2000+ cars until they happened to notice that the MAF is the same as the new sentras... so now they "sell" 2000+ g20 intakes...

load of crap if you ask me.!! stop ignoring the G20's!!

and hell.. when i order a 2000+ g20 pop, you could at least label it so.. not.. Sentra and have the consumer get all confused as soon as they open the damn thing up and be forced to call them...

i wont even get into their catch phrase when you call and ask if they make a certain part, or when the turbo is coming out, or ECU's..

"its been developed. we just finished testing and should go into production next week. call us in about a month.. -Ben" TM

!$!%$!@%!!!

what can you expect from someone who hasnt updated thier webpage since.... October 2, 1999

[slickkedar]

seriously....JWT might know what they are doing with cars, but they dont do the the best for customer relations......

I swear their site is sooo out of date its not even funny. Its miss leading and is prob a bad thing to have out on the web. When I first got my G20 I went right past JWT because their site only has the P10 listed. But then I found out through this board they do make P11 parts and had to learn through this board about what parts they have out. What the fliping A is that!!!

IT'S NOT FOR NOTHING BUT I REALLY DON'T LIKE THE FIT OF THE POP , I TOO RAN INTO THE PROBLEM OF GETTING FILTER FOR A 99 INSTEAD OF A 2000+. IT HITS THE HOOD CAUSE IT'S SO BIG AND MAKES A VIBRATION AGAINST THE HOOK. IN THE SUMMER IT FEELS ACTUALLY SLOWER CAUSE TI'S SO BIG AND INJESTS SO MUCH HOT AIR AND I'VE TESTED IT WITH THE GTECH AND RAN LOW 16'S ALL THE TIME AND THE MORE I RAN THE CAR THE SLOWER MY TIMES WERE. IN THE WINTER I CAN PULL A 15.9 ALL DAY. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE POP CHARGER IS SEALED AT THE END WITH THAT CHOME PLATED SURFACE AND THE LEAD THAT FEEDS AIR INTO THE CAR IS RIGHT UP AGAINST IT . I ORDERED THE WEAPON R CONE AND ADAPTER AND THE CAR FEELS MUCH BETTER. NOT TO KNOW THE JWT , IT'S A QUALITY PEICE AND SEEMED TO BE LOUDER BUT IT IS MUCH TO BIG FOR THAT LITTLE SPACE. PS DON'T FORGET THAT THE SENTRA'S BATTER IS SMALLER AND THEIR ANTIFREEZE RESEVOIR IS NOT ON THAT SIDE....

about the turbo do you know if anyone else is making any turbo kits for the 2001 or do i just have to wait for jwt
thanks

well theres the FMAX and Hotshot SR20DE kits, but of course they will need some tweeking and theres no ECU with it, so you'd need to have JWT reprogram it for you, or use a piggyback device. some other mods may also be needed....


as for the JWT, you can bet than when it actually comes out they wont have ECU's ready for the 2000+ models, only the 99's.. what else is new? another quam i have with them is the fact that there's no intercooler in their ba$e turbo system...

As Jason said, the valvetrain on the newer engines is different. It uses a roller rocker which requires a different cam design.

I've been told (by someone who had done a buttload of cam testing for them) that they are working on a roller cam.

It is in the process of being updated. A personal friend of mine is working on it.

They know it needs to be updated. But, they have put their resources into product development rather than web development.

If you want pretty pictures and someone giving wrong answers on the phone all the time, buy from Stealin (Stillen). Shit they even marketed their camber plates for the P10! (camber plates don't work on our suspensions)

Chill.

Forget calling them weekly. You'll only annoy them.

As for being fed up that they don't make stuff for your car, just get in line. Believe me, you won't be at the head of the line. They don't even make an ECU for the Z after 95 and the Z market is way bigger than the G20 market.

They are a small shop turning out quality product. They have 5 employees including Jim and Clark to do development, production, and administrative. They work long hours and have more projects that they'd like to do than they have time.

As I said, if you want pretty pictures.... if you want someone to answer the phone all the time (and probably feed you misinformation), and slap out mediocre parts, call Stealin.

hmm...that's why companies expand. from a business stand point (and that's what they are in) they are a very lousy company in terms of growth..although all the Nissan guys knows their name, they need to work on their act and reach out to the customers. Quality of job, no one would argue that JWT produces lousy products, however, that's not the only aspect of business. Updating websites, hire more sales/engineers/managers are all part of expanding the company and, for a business, that's what they should focus on...as well as churning out quality product.
I know the G20 market is tiny compare to the other Nissans, however, their turbo kit is featured in 2 national magazines with SCC doing a 6page report on how great the kit is...that was 2 years ago. Forget about the 02 cams....just as George pointed out, the ECUs for 95+ Z32s arent even done...we are heading into 2002 as we speak. NOT a very well run business.
all 2 of their sales also have a very bad attitude in regards to explain/sell things to you, which is their reponsiblity. I understand they probably have tons of phones ring...but if we should stop calling becasue it'll "annoy" them...why do they even offer phone numbers for us to call? If you cant handle the volume of the calls...it's not the consumer's fault but the company...in this case, JWT.
Getting in line waiting for products that are already in production means that the company is heading towards the right direction....getting in line waiting for a company to produce products in demand (i am NOT coming from a G20 persepective because i know G20 have a very small market) simply reflects the company's inability to produce products.....new cars such as the 02 G20 or the new sentras are one thing...but a 1995 300ZX ECU is not out yet???? Give me a break.....Mine's of Japan build an entire R34 one month BEFORE the actual production of the car!!!!
Who says you can't have pretty pictures AND quality products? Marketing (pretty pictures) attracts customer and quality sells...a good company would strive to acheive that...and wont leave their company web site un touched for 3 years?

I dunno about you, but sitting back and *hoping* they produce a product is pointless!!


People, if you want something done, make your voice heard!!! They're not gonna develop products for something they dont see demand for. If you dont call them, how can they see demand?


As for the roller rocker cams in the 2000+ models, this is just ridiculous! It's still only a modified sr20de cam, which they already offer. The 2000 models have been out since 1999, how long does it take to modify a camshaft??

If you want a cam real bad send them the Gude. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to take your money and re-grind them for you. Don't expect good results however!
