I’m just basically playing with the cam gears to be honest. I want to get out as much as I can from my bolt on SR20VE.
And I hear setting the cam’s up (0\0) is the worst setting because of piston dwell and a few other factors.
Here is another post by Snicker (not sure if he is still on the forum) but I’m not sure if he is talking about a SR20VE with stock pistons or Sr16VE pistons.
The 1.6L just drop em in straight up and go from there. the 2.0 you idealy need the exhaust retarded about -7 and IN +2 is the best but because there isnt enough air flow for mas top end and usually people run a cheesy header, i tell em to go +4 intake to gain more midrange.
the -7 exhaust wont clear stock pistons so stick to -5. -6 is really close on valve to piston clearance. You have to go so far off because the cam actually has more duration than needed and the exhaust valve actually opens before the piston is halfway down the bore. by opening the exhaust valve later, you gain a higher BMEP in the cylinder ( the actual force pushing the piston down the bore) and thus gain more torque. The early Exhasut valve opening is for higher RPM power and on longer rod motors to account for the extended piston dwell time at BDC.
The problem with my set-up is the header but compared to local here the quality and the price of the SSAC header is amazing.
I’m not going to be upgrading the intake to a N1 because I hear there is almost no gain on the SR20VE, Is this true? I am looking for a 70mm throttle but they are price and the Q45 TB is over-kill.
Any Suggestion on my set-up are welcome, I’m learning as I go. I’m also not sure if Mike Kojima is still on the forum? Because I want to set my VE up like his Dog 2 race car.
Thanks again guys, The info is welcome.
