Dave's P11

Funny how the way more powerful VEs have spray bars then, must be something to do with being needed on engines that make proper power!

Not even children would paint as much as they could bright blue in their engine bay as you do dave!

hmmm but got same torque figures which is where power is at :-)
 
I dont really understand what you are saying about the cams being 'way out'.
Way out from what exactly?? Way out from what catcam advertises them at, or the settings just dont suit your engine?
Care to share what the cams settings were before and after?


Good results though, for a stock CR engine im quite shocked by how good that torque figure is!
 
The timing at higest lift was out by above amounts. Cat cams say they should drop in to a sr20de and be set right. They not. Not talking anymore about power etc the car flys very strong curve im over the moon with results. I got a healthy engine pushing a very useful quite high torque figure and it drives fantastic.
 
I cant remember exactly the numbers that Dave was given by Catcams on the phone but I think they were 110 degrees at a given value of lift. Like I said earlier I dont fully understand what the degree value relates too and what lift value was taken, ie. peak lift?

As Dave said I think, intake cam was 16 degrees different to Catcam value and 6 degrees on exhaust cam, so the timing for each cam must have been 110 +/- 16 degrees on intake and 110 +/- 6 degrees. (I've put the +/- in because I dont know which direction the cams were off the Catcam setting. That should make it a bit clearer!

Dave, as is made clear on Catcams site they are drop in regarding working fine on standard valve springs, as Dale did say in one of your threads a few weeks ago. On their older site, with the yellow background it says clearly something along the lines of adjustable fuel management or tuning system required for optimum setting or something.
 
iirc the gspec gears only go to +/- 10° so they couldn't fix a 16° offset if they were installed at the stock setting :confused:

1 degree of cam rotation is 2* of crank rotation.

i still think there is no problem with the catcam 514s. sorry dave but i think something was wrong with the installation.

as i say, ricks is RAPID. unmapped. but you say yours was slow.

we will see on saturday i guess!
 
Yeah phil I didnt know if the 1 degree of cam rotation equalling 2 degrees of crank rotation needed mentioning in that post or not, was sort or talking towards Dale so didnt need to explain it lol!
 
i assure you they fitted right 100% my dad has done this lots on this engine. he check it 4 times every time he a mechanic of 35years+. im also sure greg checked them before altering. and as i KEEP saying the reason why mine wa sso crap low down was my timing was soooooooo high when lowered bang the power came more normal. ive posted that many times! as i keep saying i passed this info on to try help other possible cat cam buyers as it a rather big issue cat cam had all ready emailed me saying they werent 100% if they would be perfect at stock set up. ive relayed this info back to them to try help future people.

i know that bud, but i was presuming the marks on the gspec pullies denoted crank degrees not cam degrees, i may be wrong though as like i said i was presuming
