Mdriver on DTM is trying to get a GB on schrick cams here's the link
850.00 a set! with 20 orders (each cam counts as an order so each set is 2 orders! that means 10 people need to order not 20!)
http://forum.dtmpower.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60420

damn, the only problem is getting 10 people :) , thats almost impossible

What's the typical performance gain for an M3?

do I have to convert to OBDI?

If only Josh @ Eurosport were selling the CAM chip alone I'd be in on this.

From what I hear when I talked to him a while ago, you can't buy a Conforti chip for that setup without actually buying the setup from them. Cams, HFM, Injectors (for 95) more stuff for the OBDII.

Doh!

Phid,

So does this mean that this group buy should only be done if:
a) you have a 95 ///M3?
b) you have a 96+ w/ OBD I conversion?

Otherwise, you have to buy the WHOLE set up from Josh @ Eurosport - right?

Sorry, new to this side of the mod world:)

Turner sells the JC chip for Schrick cams by itself for $249. BTW, instead of buying a set of six 24# injectors for $300 from Turner, pick up a set of EIGHT 24# injectors from www.Jegs.com for $219... the Ford Motorsport ones work perfectly ;)

so what's the count for these cams??? Thanks

Hey guys check the thread at DTM for the most current info.

umnitza,

You can get the cams for any year...

Just the flavors of Conforti setups are for:

A) 95 M3 - EuroHFM, Cams, Injectors, Chip
B)96+ OBDII M3 - STAYING OBD2, Cams, EuroHFM, 95 Intake Manifold, Injectors, Chip. (This one just costs more- more hardware)

C) not a Conforti kit, but you could do B with OBD1 to squeeze out a little more HP. But I think you're basically doing the same thing as B.

You can get the cams and piece parts and get them tuned yourself I suppose.

I'm personally looking for the most cost effective method.

Bimmer95,

Where on Turner's site can you find the CAMed chip for 95s alone? Does that factor in the ConforitHFM setup, w/injectors?

Are you already running this setup?

Thanks.

It's in the CHIPS section :12: Find the E36 M3 listing and pick the "Schrick Cams, Euro HFM, 24# injectors" option from the drop down. I'm not yet running the Schrick cams and 24# injectors, but I do have a used Turner (JC) #T413-371 chip ready to slap in for I do get the cams :D

Doh!

I have the HFM kit right now and I'm gonna do CAMs, I have talked to Josh, you can buy the chip alone for sure...

Guys, start emailing shane@kormanautoworks.com, lets make this happen!

I may be wrong, but.... I believe that the Conforti chip sold by Turner (among others) for use with the Schrick cams is only for the '95 OBDI E36 M3.

Chip is only for OBDI, that be 95s.

96+ have to do OBDI conversion.

For OBDII cars 96+M3s you don't have to go OBDI. Like I said earlier, Eurosport has the kit to keep you OBDII but be able to use the cams, etc.

Check out their site http://www.eurosporthighperformance.com/cams.html

No affiliation.

I've driven a 99M3 with this kit (still OBD2) and it's great....granted he had a whole bunch of other mods, the 3.2L just felt so smooth and powerful. Almost made me get rid of my 3.0L...

I wish I could find someone with the Cam kit on a 95 so I could get a ride and see how it stacks up to the 3.2L.

But it is cheaper for us 95 guys to do these mods. :D

bimmer95,
thanks for the info...I think that's a savings of ~$300 bucks instead of going for the Turner kit. (getting the parts separately)

Money for the Hardened valve retainers...

Here are a couple of questions I had that Shane very promptly answered.

Yes, if we can get at least 10 people the cost is 850.00 per set.
The 264/256 cam set is the one being offered.
If you have a 95 M3 it is a bolt and go. If it is a 96 or newer then you will
have to convert back to the Bosch injection system.

These cams are brand new Schrick cams

FWIW.

Phid -


Yes, I understand... I have the full Eurosport/Conforti OBDII cam kit on my car!

My only point is that I don't believe that you can separately purchase the software necessary to make the cams work on an OBDII car from Turner or anyone else. I believe it is only available as part of the complete kit (which, of course, includes the Schrick cams) sold by Eurosport.

Neil

Neil,

I agree.

For 95s you CAN get the separate parts.

For 96+ M3s OBDII, it does NOT look like you can get the software piece.

Thanks.

Neil

You're absolutely correct, the Kit Eurosport sells it's a whole kit, you can NOT purchase the parts seperately.

Also, NEIL, are you the one that got his done at Curry's?

Are you gonna be there tomrrow for the Curry Clash? I like to ride in your car...

From Turnermotor sports Check the last paragraph!
E36 M3 Schrick Camshaft Upgrade Set

The 1995 M3 is one of our favorite cars to upgrade for bigger horsepower. We usually start with the Conforti Euro Intake (which includes a larger mass air sensor and special Turner Motorsport chip. Then we go after the exhaust with a Borla muffler system to further improve airflow. After those items we suggest you go with our Schrick camshaft upgrade along with 24lb fuel injectors (stock are 18lb) and a new Turner Motorsport chip. Adding a larger intake and exhaust will only partially move more air through the engine. More aggressive camshafts (264° intake and 256° exhaust) are the final, but equally, important step to increase airflow. This final step will result in an additional 16-19 hp over the Euro Intake's +32hp. That's within a breath of 300hp from your American-spec 3.0-liter engine!

For the 1996-99 M3, we use the same cams for a similar boost in horsepower. A Conforti Intake Kit is recommended first. Software and larger injectors are not required when upgrading the cams for this car. These will drop in for an additional 16-19 hp!

///Arman -

Yes, Curry's did the installation on my car. And yes again, I'll be at the Clash tomorrow. Hoping to get there by early PM.

Neil

Just received an email from Shane@Kormen. Says we have more than enough people interested. Now we need to place our orders.

no affiliation...blah blah...

guys, since u guys are in for the cams, i'm running the 24lb injectors group buy. all i need is 2 more people.

No

Just wondering who exactly from this board is in on the GB ?
Remember it ends wednesday september 25, 2002 so call shane and give him your info. The sooner the better everyone seems to be raising there prices on schrick cams.

I've already called Shane and given my billing info to him.

PEOPLE PLEASE CALL IN WITH YOUR PAYMENT INFO IF YOU ALREADY HAVEN'T.....


SHANE: 336-275-1494 ext is 15

MInes on order too!

wooooo mine is too we should only need about 2 or 3 more people to call in there CC info and it's on like donkey kong!

Hey,
I jumped in last minute and got it too!
thanks for setting this up!
Full-on irrational impulse buy.
But I can't wait!!! (Been thinking about it semiseriously for a long time)

Bad new, just heard back from TMS and they will not sell the CHIP alone. Must buy the entire cam kit from them. This is for a 95 M3...

Not good....

That's old news. Korman sells the right chip, but it's $350 from them. Luckily I've already got one :devillook

whats the count?? is it too late?

I'm sure that they've got at least 8 or 9 orders so far. The cut off date is 9/25/02 so you've got a few more days.... hurry!

guess what......according to shane,
they are placing the order today, and they should be having them sometime next week.

then i think we give them a week for it to come to us.

So what's the status of the order, anyone know ?

I suppose it's too late to get in on this

Shouldn't we have these things by now ? It has been a month. Man I hate waiting :complain :mad:

I talked with shane 10 days ago, he said Schrick couldn't deliver that many on time, so they are waiting for them to make some more. Could be a while.

What do you all doing as far as chips?

There are several options, bimmerworld, AA, chuck stinley,evosport,and autothority. I my self have a JC chip and a bimmerworld chip. I'm gonna dyno both of them and which everone is better i'm going to keep.

anyone heard from shane at korman yet? last time i heard it was backordered by Schrick....that was 2 weeks ago.


it's been over a month already!

Still back ordered, should be in by late december

Let me know if another GP is put together on the cams. So how did the GP go? Everyone happy?

happy my ASSSSSSSSSSs! haven't seen it yet!

the GB went fine...no problems finding people....the problem turns out to be the delivery of the product!

I kind of saw the delay coming with so many people ordering them I think final count was close to 20 people, that's a lot of cams.

aro0?

guess what, got an email from shane regarding the cams...they are coming in before the new year or the first week of january., depending where u live. they have them now in stock. my CC was just charged.

How 'bout cams for an E36 328?

Puh-leeze :) ?!

-AJ

Can we still get in on this GB?

Kinda late dude...
But it's worth a try. Call Shane at Korman Autowerks, I think the number is somewhere in this thread. Perhaps someonce cancelled out due to the wait and they may have an extra set laying around.

AJLamport
I have stock cams out of a 98 M3 if your interested. It's good for about another 20hp in the 328. PM me if your interested.

You got a PM comin' your way.

-AJ

Sent you a PM.

I'd be in the market for a set of 3.0 take-off cams for my 325 from one of you fine gentlemen, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were more than me looking for take-offs.

Call it a "trickle-down" group buy? ;)

I got billed for the cams as well. Did anyone receive them yet?

Haven't gotten them. Left 2 messages for Shane already. Anyone else?

Sent him an email and he said that they were still waiting for them to arrive from germany. I wouldn't hold my breath, when I ordered some stuff from HIOP they sent it out with in 2 days and it took 7 weeks to get here!

Haven't gotten mine either. I called him last Wednesday the 8th and he said they should have them that week or this week. Starting to get a litte annoyed with this delay.

Good News!!!
I called Shane today and the cams have made it to U.S. shores. They are in Rallye (sp?) NC i believe. They will be shipped immediately. Thank god!!!!:clap:

Did these things finally ship ?
My card was charged for 17.00 so I assume that was a shipping charge. anyone have any info on when they shipped ?

I was charged for the cams in Dec. No package yet.

Just talked to shane today, he states that some cams were shipped yesterday and the rest are being shipped today.

My Cams just arrived. It's been so long, I forgot that I ordered them.

Arggg I can't wait any longer. They better come this week :mad:

Got 'em yesterday!!! They look good. The invoice says retail price is $899 EACH!!! Some kind of mark-up there!!! We got a good deal, it was worth the wait....I think.

I just got my cams! hip hip horray hip hip horray! thanks shane! thanks Korman!

Just got mine !!!!!:redspot :redspot
I'm taking them to the shop ,my car is there right now getting the ball joints and the head (talk about timing) replaced, and I'll have them put them in. So they should be in my car by friday!:redspot
Talk about instant gratification :bj:

I got mine too!

Eugene

all you S. Californian...i'm in the process of talking to a local shop that can install schrick cams to do a Install Group buy. i'll post cost and minimum of people required.

Eclou...btw my 3.2L is coming soon!
