Forced Performance Cams

[TSIfreek]

You can order them that way from comp if you want but they are desighned to work as they are. If there was any real advantage in doing so comp or FP would have done it in the first place. Dont reinvent the wheel when it comes to cams. The engineers at comp get paid good money to come up with what works best in real world situations so I woundnt test them. Just choose a grind for your aplication and be happy with it. If you want more power put some spray on it and call it a day.

We actually saw no significant difference when testing the mixed sets. We only sell them as matched pairs for this reason.

i'm gonna try and keep this on topic and not a "help me" topic now. but now that i have these things in, my car just won't idle. if it does, i'm having to bring down the rpm's like VERY slowly otherwise it just dies on me. i've adjusted my biss screw in as far as i can (adjusting it out totally kills it), and my isc steps are around 35-40. not really too sure what else i can do to fix this. when i ordered my dsmchip i believe i had it set for 900 rpm's for idle. i dunno what else to do.

also, my trims are all 139/136/139 (lo/mid/high) but having no knock, timing is still good, and egt's are okay as well. ya'll think it'd be okay to keep em there? if i richen it up, it seems the car wants to start sputtering some. so i lean it out to keep it running good but those are the trims i get. uggghhh!!! thanks guys!

That sounds like a issue common when you vent BOV to ATM, are you venting the BOV to atmosphere? Lets take this to emails for detailed help to keep the thread on topic.

Do you have specs on the Comp 101200's? I can't find them online, but I'll bet they don't match FP2's. I can't see a reason for FP to market the same cams under their name.

Let's see some specs, or quit bitching about someone else's product.

EDIT : This post was geared towards SlowBoy.

Edit again : To comply with forum rules. However, this is not an apology. I think a company with such a questionable honesty should not be questioning other company's products, especially with no proof (as of yet) except for "They're the same!"

Don't you have more people to rip off?

This is not a feedback forum. Keep your issues to yourself, or post them elsewhere.

, your funny. That's the whole point, I'm not bitching about someone else's product, because its just a relabeled Comp cam. I can prove this because we order direct from comp, and have gotten several cams label FP2 right on the box when ordering a set of 101200. They are the same cam, COMP even labels it for them, get over it, and quit crying about it.

Nonetheless, the FP2/101200 is a great cam, kudos to FP for helping in development.

This could help people as well i guess. But i also have a set of fp2 cams and when i first installed them on my built 1g head i was getting idle surge. Now i know idle surge isn't related to this so bear with me. I switched TB's and the fiav has been blocked as well as i have a functioning isc. I am getting the same problems another user posted and i never thought i would be the cams. If i rev it up to 3,000 and let the rpms come down the car either stalls or holds a idle of 400 with the 02's showing 98volts nothing is more annoying than when the car does that. My bov is recirculated and even if it was vented i have dsmlink to compensate anyway. Am gonna have to call FP and ask about this then since it sucks when the car stalls. But don't get me wrong i love the cams and i love the power increase i got from them. I also get the jerking in first gear around 1,000-1,500 rpm's and my friend had the same problem. He made a grounding kit and installed it all over the engine bay and he got no more jerking in first gear with the hks272's so i may just go try that and see whats up. To help with the stall a little bit i set my biss screw to 1,000rpm

 

[98GSX_MTX]

Anyone have the FP1 cams in? A review or log would be great.

I would love to see some of these before and after DSMLink logs as well.

DSMlink won't compensate for it unless if you set it up on the speed/density routine. Even then I think it's only at the high airflows where the MAS starts losing counts that it switches over.

 

[anconover]

actually nate, the FP2 cams and 101200's are indexed differently. That is however the only difference. Andy from comp gave me theyre specs that i compared to FPs.

Yep, it can be setup to switch over to a MAP signal to estimate airflow above the MAF overrun point, but not under.

Have you indexed a set yourself yet? (no offense anconover, your the man)

Might be a good idea to double check the numbers with a degree wheel

But to make big man Robert happy, i'll stay out of the post from now on., my stomach is starting to hurt

I just want to know if this is a common issue for people with the car stalling when they install the FP2's

[anconover]

look at the centerline index numbers of the FP cams vs the Comp Cams. You guys have the comp specs on your site, and the FP spec is just a few pages back on this thread.

I guess you dont know everything although im sure youd like to think you do, as the rest of you guy at SBR

Well, I know a couple of guys who will vouch for their engine building skills and customer support levels (www.rmdsm.org and search on "slowboy")

ok lets not start a SBR FP debate.

And robert please don't post any ebay links or sales info in this thread. We have a forum for vendors to promote their products.

I agree 100%..... and like Nate said... Kudos to FP because the DSM world is a better place not having to spend $600.00 on HKS cams.....

MGH

 

[jott5555]

agreed^^

 

[boostngst]

I would really like to hear from RavenX and v8s_are_slow, and anyone else in the same boat, about the stalling and 1st gear stuttering problem. ie- after talking to FP did you get the problem corrected or is it just the way the cams are? I understand that setting the BISS to a 1k idle could help but I really don't want to have to do that to make them work. I would also like to hear from some of you 272 guys if these problems were present upon first installation and if so how did you get them fixed? Thanx.

 

[RavenX]

Well i haven't called yet due to that i lost all oil pressure on the highway last sunday and thus now i have rod knock which means i need a block. So am in the process of doing a 6 bolt swap but i only need the built block sine i already have the 1g buitl head and intake manifold. So i haven't really bothered to call and ask about the problem. Granted even with the biss set to 1k the car still tried to stall. The rpm's would hit 200-400 and slowly the car would catch itself back up again. If its true thats its the cams then i will have to figure something out unless someone here or FP can give us more insight if this is related to the cams or not. After changing 2 throttles bodies and 2 isc's with known good ones i can rule out that its not my idle.

you may need some adjustable cam gears to tune it down
