I wouldnt mind being able to get cams aswell but I have heard that if you get cams you need new rods and pistons aswell. Can anyone verify if that is entirely true? Hunter you buy another ECU yet? I really want to get that chip if it works for our car
no you shouldn't. its all about the limits on the interference engines and timing.
I thought you were going down thereOriginally Posted by reddemonx92
You are thinking about getting a turbo. New set of cams won't increase the quantity of air getting into the engine enough to blow the engine because of the pressure... unless you have a very weak engine, but anything recent will be ok
well since you posted that, i guess i should clarify. if you have an engine with notched pistons for the valves to clear. its stock cam is like 256, and then you go add a 278 cam to it, your probably going to smack the valves off the pistons. because the valves stay open until the piston is far enough up to hit them before they close. so you need pistons with larger notches. (or just be able to notch your stock pistons further).
So what is recommended cam size for our engine and still gain power? And hunter I will be going down I just need the funds lol. Plus I need to buy a extra ecu incase it doesn't work.
ok haha, ecu wise they have them on ebay pretty cheap, but I am waiting on mainly my cams to go in before the ecu tune and dyno
i dont know the specs of your cams, or how they are timed to the engine to know where to add duration (on which side of the lobe) and how long without creating interference, plus you need to know the current lift and how much you can add..
a cam specialist could figure this out pretty quick i imagine..
Quick question on the cams guys, can we source the cams from the vauxhall/opel engines? They are GM engines and shud have some similarity!
i know the ecotec can use vauxhall cams.
if you have a vauxhall that is earlier to compare to, let us know, we do not have vauxhalls here.
