If listed all the go fast bits on my car, people would think AMAGAD BUILD THREAD??? but it performs rather.. averagely.

Not bad, just averagely.

It has Tomei type B's in it (engine is 2.8L), adjustable cam gears, and I'm not 100% certain that it's all the way it should be. It probably isn't actually wrong, but I doubt it's completely right so it'll bug me until it's checked.

I've also read many places on SAU that having an adjustable exhaust cam gear is of benefit. So I got one, with my cams, and no one has ever actually adjusted it to see if it does anything. Just a "she'll be right mate its designed to be on +0" in which case why even make the item?

Fair enough, have you had opinions from the tuners etc..?

Is it currently with a reputable workshop?

Curious to know which one its at. PM it if you want to keep the workshop private

bahahahah.

they are race cams for the 1.3 in the micra..... going stupidly cheap. but i dont know enough about duration/lift etc to even contemplate buying them....

I could ask a mate if you REALLY wanted to know....

race cams for race head or just OEM head???

If OEM will certainly requiring machining. That's about all I know.......and IF I'm wrong well my disclaimer is this.......kiss my French something something dark-side :P

i have consulted the guru of all that is micra.

ghettofrank.

hopefully he should get back to me when he wakes up, but from what im reading your right ants...

this is tomei poncam spec. http://www.rhdjapan.com/tomei-camshafts-procam-poncam-cg13de.html

the engine it came out of must have been mental.

just be wary: procam is for solid lifters. poncam is for hydraulic. anything bigger than 280-290 degrees... you'd want solid.

Dont know much about those engines, but cams that big is like "I need to wait 15mins for my car to warm up before its possible to drive it under 40km/h" and the "my car doesnt make power less than 4krpm"

thanks man. will leave them the f**k alone then.

Seems to be some car enthusiasts on my street, there's been beemers, mercs, and now micra project cars in the carport.

give that micra kent a shout and see if he has any parts!

where you live?

Who needs a daily?

I have a workmate selling a 1995 integra Type R for ~ $2k with RWC

f**k me your kidding?

would have loved that 3 months ago.

prob would still buy if i had sold the clubby.

    • Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.  
    • Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want. 
    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power
