What is a billet camshaft and why is it important?

A billet camshaft starts as a solid piece of steel that is then machined to create the cam lobes. This method is stronger than older methods and allows for more precise lobe designs, which is crucial for achieving specific performance characteristics.

What kind of supporting modifications might I need with these camshafts?

For optimal performance and reliability, it's often recommended to pair these camshafts with upgraded valve springs, retainers, and a custom ECU tune. These components help ensure the engine can handle the increased airflow and RPMs safely.

Are these camshafts legal for use in California?

No, these camshafts are not CARB approved and cannot be legally shipped to or installed in California due to emissions regulations.

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your Nissan VR38DETT engine, especially for track or serious performance builds, a camshaft upgrade is a critical step. These GSC Power Division S3 camshafts are designed to significantly improve airflow into and out of your engine, which is essential for making more power. They're a popular choice when rebuilding the top end of these high-performance V6 twin-turbo engines.

These are billet camshafts, meaning they start as a solid piece of steel that's precisely machined to the desired profile. This construction method is strong and allows for very intricate lobe designs, like the 280-degree duration on both the intake and exhaust sides that these cams feature. This duration means the valves stay open for a longer period, allowing more air and fuel mixture in and more exhaust gases out, especially at higher RPMs. The lift is also increased over stock, further aiding airflow. Because they are designed for performance, you can expect a more aggressive idle and a noticeable change in the engine's power band, typically shifting it higher for more top-end grunt.

When installing these, remember they are a significant upgrade and may require supporting modifications to truly shine, such as upgraded valve springs, retainers, and ECU tuning to take full advantage of the improved airflow. It's also important to note that these camshafts are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always consult the manufacturer's installation guide for specific details regarding fitment and setup for your particular VR38DETT engine.
