2001 Toyota Celica GT-S - Power Enterprise Camcon & Air Flow Controller

Then, we began to test different combinations of cam phasing at different rpm ranges. If there is a large or radical change in cam phase between any given rpm, the Camcon will make that transition smoothly instead of suddenly. For example, when you set the cam phasing to change from -5 to +8 degrees in a certain rpm range, it will transition gradually so you don't end up with irregular spikes or rough spots.

On our first attempt to adjust the Camcon's air flow setting along with cam timing, we changed the settings to +3 degrees cam timing for zero to 4500 rpm, -8 degrees timing and -1 percent air flow from 5000 to 6000 rpm, +5 degrees timing and +1 percent air flow from 6500 to 7500 rpm, and -5 degrees timing and -5 percent air flow from 8000 to red line. Until 5000 rpm the power curve almost mirrored the baseline; from 5000 to 6300 rpm as much as 5 hp was gained, while 2- to 3-hp gains were seen from 6300 rpm with a jump of 17 hp at red line. We saw peak power gains of 8.8 hp and 1.4 lb-ft of torque.

After 16 dynos of trial and error, we were ready to make the final settings. We saw a minimum of 9 hp gains throughout, with additional gains of 5 hp and 12 lb-ft of torque from 3000 to 4600 rpm, 10 hp and 10 lb-ft of torque in the 4600 to 6300 rpm range and 16 hp and 13 lb-ft of torque from 6300 rpm to red line.

What were our settings for the final gains? Don't worry we wouldn't leave you in the dark. We kept all of the previous settings except for the air flow settings, which we changed to -5 percent from 5000 rpm to red line. From our baseline run of 143.6 hp and 107.2 lb-ft of torque, we ended up with 157.7 hp and 116.3 lb-ft of torque, an increase of 14.1 hp and 9.1 lb-ft of torque.

The Camcon answers the call of Toyota tuners without forgetting the Honda faithful. Power gains in our test were quite substantial, and when you start adding more parts in the search of horsepower, the Camcon becomes an even more valuable tuning tool. For a MSRP of $419, push grandma out of the way to get Power Enterprises' latest and greatest.
