well, the guy who is assembling my engine told me that the camshafts I have are not stock gsr cams and said they have bigger lobes. I checked them out and they have like 4-5 numbers on the end of them but dont know what brand they are. Will they be bad for a 350whp turbo setup?

 

hump

 

How can you ask if they'll be bad when you don't know what they are? How are we supposed to know???

LOL...while we are on this subject do you know if my turbo is good for my car, it says garrett on the compressor

 

i was gonna put this liquid stuff in my car i dont know what it is , but it says oil on it?

 

hahahaha...nice one sylvester (c2nap)

 

[n00b]Guys, I have this engine in my car. I think it's Vtek y0 but my mechanic says it's not. The block has some numbers on it, but I don't know what type of engine it is. Can you help me?[/n00b]

 

dude you poked your head out and asked for that one.... [hint] maybe tell the numbers that are on the end of the cam[/hint]

 

Nah. He dosen't have to supply us with any numbers. He already said there's "4-5". Let's start guessing numbers in the 4-5 digit range. c2nap, when one of us guesses it, you tell us okay?

My guess is:7165

Is that it? Are those the 4-5 numbers on your cam? Anybody else able to guess the number?

 

maybe he was saying the number is either a 4 , or a 5.

im going to guess 5 , since most motors have 5 cams....yes thats it.

 

lol.

Wait a sec..I think I got it. I was asking my self "what other car's cams can fit in a Bseries..." then it hit me! Rotary!! c2nap, you sir, have a cam from an RX-7 in your car. Lucky bastard!!

 

lol, fucken ********.... hahah i seriously sat here laughing my *** of tho ...ill get the numbers from the camshafts hopefully later on ... but is it possible for certain types of camshafts to be no good for a turbo setup ?

 

Maybe some pictures or lobe measurements?

no, everything is perfect for it... imean.... It IS a turbo

 

haha

 

There are cams that are no good for boost. Luckily, you don't see many of them in the honda world, because the same cams for high RPM, are the same cams for high boost - high lift, low duration. Dial in some nice seperation with some cam gears and viola.

 

Cams for turbo cars can vary.

Cams for NA high rpm cars like lift and lots of duration. Duration helps the scavenging process in these cars at high rpm. Lift of course allows the valves to be push openmore for more air to come in and out.

Turbo cars will work on different kind of cams. That is one of the myths that people don't really understand that often. High lift and short duration between cams to prevent overlap and keep boost in the combustion chamber is good for mild to medium boost.

At higher boost levels (race cars) turbo cars, tend to like more of a wilder camshaft and breath almost like how a NA car would. Most people don't really experment with high lift and high duration on big boost cars because some guy in there machine shop thats been building Chevy's for 30 years told him that it won't work well on his boosted car. It all depends on the airflow of the head, the CFM's the turbo is capable of and most of all the boost the car is going to see. More of a wilder cam may delay boost to spool quickly because of overlap but may flow much more top end then a stock cam would. There's tradeoffs.

Titan's Sport FWD car is using a Jun 2 intake cam and a ITR exhaust cam, kinda goes against theory huh? But wait it makes good power.

 

Comedy!
