Thread: Lets talk cam options..

Right ,see Im no pro but he said not to get bigger than +1mm.I never knew that ill read up somemore abut that.

If you have spoken to them before and they are willing to do something then I am willing to invest into getting this done with shipping my 2 sets of cams as samples to start from.


How high do you plan to rev or want to rev with this motor you are building Kesi.

I will be taking mine to 8000 RPMs with a max of 8500 RPMs for racing.

What I am looking for is a cam that is speced of of the SR16VE cams that gives the same curve s the N1 cam in a N1 motor. So what I need to do is how this will translate to cam lift and duration in a 2.3L.

I have some figures already that I came up with and the guys at Crane made adjustments to my specs.

I have 3 grinds speced out that are from mild to wild. I will be building a new one of these motors at 13 to1 compression 92 mm Jun crank and 92mm pistons. The second future motor will be oringed so a 90 mm gasket will work as I will just bore it out to fit the bore.

It will be a 2.44 or so.

All this NA talk is getting me all worked up again

I am so undecided on what to do with my car. Until I figure this out it will sit.

you know the turbo game is calling you back !!

but yeah id love to see some good ve cams built, i been thinking of a n/a build for a while now, would make a nice lil street/daily car.

stratton.

I want the car to rev to 9K rpm's and peak 7.5 to 8k. How much is a jun 92mm crank?I can't find where to buy just the crank.I know where to get tomei's 91mm crank.I dont mind doing 92mm bore but I stick to 90mm its safer (I dont want to blow up) .92x92 is my dream but the gasket is my issue lol

I haven't done any custom grinds with Kelford, but I worked with them to get the right cams for a 4age 20v Blacktop with a 4-1 header. They were very helpful in the ordering process, and seemed very knowledgeable about their products. Something that was interesting to me, is it seems like there is 1 person answering phones, and then the people doing all the work out back. When I called I got who was leading the team out back in about 30 seconds.

My $0.02 about them anyway..

Well anyways I think I can make about 250-260 whp and run 11.8-12.0 with N1's with that setup.I guess ill start and worry about cams later down the line.

I can see my newly bought N1's decreasing in value every minute

If we could get some more easy hp out of a set of cams, that would be amazing. Too bad I don't have 2.2l

100% no cams in this talk will fit a stock VE motor. Neither will any of these cams work on a 2L VE motor.

These cams are going to be designed with 2.3-2.4 L motors in mind. So if you dont have a oversized motor there is no need to be happy. Not even a 90mm piston x 86mm crank will like these cams. The cams are going to designed around a bigger crank where loss of some mid range is not an problem as it is on a large crank motor.

I will be trying to give a little and take a little.

Just a question for Kesi, what ever happened to the Franklin cams you guys were trying. I thought you guys were having good results with them.

Time to invest in a really big drill bit then....
