jgkurz Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Hi all, I finally bought my new camshaft for my Z. Based on several people's positive feedback I went with the ISKY 490 lift turbo cam. I called ISKY and was surprised to actually talk to Ron Iskenderian in person. He seemed knowledgeable about the L28 and turbo profiles. He gave me two options. They are both the same cams that are in the catalog except they use a split profile. The cam he recommended has the L-490 model on the intake and the L-480 model on the exhaust but with 114 lobe sep. I could have also picked the L-480 intake / L-475 exhaust, but he said that cam is done around 6000 rpm which is less than I wanted. The cam and keepers cost me $214.00 not including shipping. I thought that was a reasonable price. That price plus the excellent customer service was more than I could refuse. Now I'm wondering where I can get a decent price on rocker arms. The best I can do from Nissan is 377.40.... Any idea's? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Welcome to the wonderful world of turbo rocker arms. I was unable to get a price less than $18 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 I think you have made a good cam choice and will be curious to see the results. I last purchased rocker arms as a set from MSA. I get jobber pricing and the cost was about $10-$12per. You may want to also try Courtesy Nissan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JAMIE T Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 Are P90 (not P90A) rockers actually differant from other rockers? I can't see why they would be. How about some of the remanufacturers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 John, My cam is very similar to that grind (if not an exact copy) and I think you'll be very happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 Isky is great, I also got a little bit of techie talk with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 You can get resurfaced rockers from Delta cams, I think they are about 4 or 5 bucks each, the downside is you will have to run a slightly thicker lash pad or double check your geometry to make sure you are ok. I tried a set on a crower cam, and they are quiet, and are not giving me any unusual wear patterns. You send them yours or pay a core.

jgkurz Posted February 16, 2003 Author Share Posted February 16, 2003 I was able to source new OEM rockers from Arizona Z car for $152.00 to my door. I looked everywhere and that was the best price I could find. Here's the link. http://www.arizonazcar.com Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S130Z Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 :iospalo::iospalo::iospalo: Yeah, yeah......I know. 2003! Big deal, get off my back already! Since I have been doing some research on turbo cams, I just wanted to ask if you ended up liking this cam profile. Also, what did you do about springs?
