Re: n/a cams working against turbo setup???
rite i undersy=tand wot you guys r saying now
so wots my remmedy? i aint turning the boost up till end of the year that time ill have a built block so you think i should give the skunk2 turbo cams a go? |

To the original poster: You are running a faggot 7 psi. It is impossibly to make any worthwhile amount of power from a B16 off of a faggot 7 psi, regardless of how many millions of dollars you spend on camshafts. Turn the boost up, rev to 9K, and prepare to be very happy with your NA cams in the 350+ whp range. In fact, here is what Corky Bell says about the topic. Pg 163 Camshafts: Make no mistake in the fact that turbo performance cams are very different from atmospheric performance cams. The characteristics of long duration and high overlap for atom cams are unwelcome in a turbo system. The street turbo, which is generally small, operates with exhaust manifold pressure somewhat higher than intake boost pressure. This situation, when presented with long-duration high-overlap cams, creates a huge amount of reversion. Thus, the “turbo cam” tends to become a low-duration, very limited overlap cam. RULE: Its hard to find a turbo cam that works better than the stock item. |

OH NOs
Corky's back for more :3 |

Re: n/a cams working against turbo setup???
Correct, reversion != blowtrhough.
And, when you get a setup that is mucho bukkake'd so that intake pressure starts to exceed exhaust pressure, damn if the engines don't like overlap again. Blowing a little intake charge out the exhaust valve is a good thing... anyone care to guess why? BBKA, the only turbo cams I've ever dealt with are Speedy's Web billets for LS, and Rocket M21/M20 combo... the Webs were night and day difference, whereas the Rockets like less fuel below 7500 and 5-6% more fuel 7500-9500 ! |
Re: n/a cams working against turbo setup???
just get ITR cams or crower cams! :P ive heard crower cams are better than skunk2 or so.. the powerband with those cams is almost complete..
|
Re: n/a cams working against turbo setup???
Not that you guys are probably talking single cams or anything
But Im running a Delta 272 regrind in the built A6 and theres quite a noticeable difference in where the powerband sits and when the torque is felt over the stock si cam i was running. Idles like a ---- though |
