Installing a set of camshafts

[Weirdo_Joe]

Xaio did it without it at first, if it will run right with them in then I will worry about it at a later time, I wish there was other ecu tuning options besides piggybacks but that is what I am going to have to use. No one even wants to buy underdrive pulleys

I am SO down for buying an underdrive pulley... even if I do get a professional to install it! Possibly have the funds in February! Cams would be a ways off, but I am taking notes! The chip you refer to; izzit one that's widely available for sale? Last I heard, they were all ripoffs; most just over-ride the ecu to allow more gas, which is bad for the engine... (right?) Any GOOD chips for say, an 08?

i found a tuned ecu option for the same engine as the etecII aveo overseas, and there are US dealers that can install it. But we need someone to test to see if it works. (this would require buying a second ecu just in case, <$100 off ebay, just to be safe) The tuner has already stated if it doesn't work (they have a satisfaction guarantee) that you wouldnt need to pay them for the tune.

The chip is advertised for $350, so if it works you would have $450 into the first one. (you could probably sell the second ECU tuned on here to someone without a local dealer). If it doesnt work, you spent $100 and fried an ecu. (i also said to put the ebay ecu in for the tune to "save" the original for backup).

so probably going to a cam specialist would cost like $500? or more?

Not that much, unless he is making your cams as well

If we could get a group buy going...I know we have at least 3 people in lol

I think I might stop by a local place to see if they are interested in making a batch

[petrified.rabbit]

prices will depend on what they do and how they do it. if you can find some specs from xiogarys cams, or look on daewotech, there are people who have already done this, an may be able to pass along a set of cams to you, or get the info of where you can get them.

[reddemonx92]

I thought the cams the had on daewotech was a different car aswell. But worth looking into.

[petrified.rabbit]

different car, same engine.

[Weirdo_Joe]

This ecu sounds really interesting... I'd almost volunteer for being a guinea pig, but I just dropped all the money I had saved up on the car's down payment! It's gonna be a little here, a little there. But I'll be excited to hear how that works!

Red is working out details slowly. But we are working on it. If he hasnt done it by summer, maybe ill have him and hunter come down to miami while i am there and do it (since thats were their closest shop is).

Yea i am just working out what kind of number is needed so they can compare the ECUs to see if the chip will work on our ECUs. I contacted the distributor here in Florida and they said if the Headquarters in North Carolina aproves, they will go ahead and chip the ECU. I contacted the headquarters and the asked for me to give them an ECU number. I have to call again to reclarify some stuff about where i go about finding the specific number they need.
