Yep saw it. Looks good. I vent mine now to atmosphere but will set up on the suction side of the turbo with a catch can when everything is back in and tested for a while.

I don't have any form of FI the engine is all NA. I may try the catch can but I would rather fix the problem then just work around it.
Tom I will do a compression test this week sometime and let you know what I get. |

I would definitely pull one of the breathers and see if you are getting blowby. This is a good way to see if you have a problem. You should not have any puffs of air comming from the breathers. This might have caused your problem with excessive oil.

I'm sorry to here you are having so much difficulty with your motor. I know it is frustrating, especially with as much money as was spent on improvements. I think a lot of what is going on is that you just don't have the tune for the new cams. You are so far out ahead of everyone else, you are the prototype and don't have a way to tune. Are you still going to purchase a tuning computer for your chip? This might be the magic bullet. I know it is difficult to justify spending another penny with so much uncertainty. Perhaps it would be best to wait until Mike finishes his motor, break in, and tune before purchasing a tuning computer. Good luck. Chuck D.

So I haven't read much of this thread yet because there are alot of pages but I gather that the Cams aren't really coming along very well?? I am interested in this because when it comes time for me to rebuild my engine (sometime in the next 2 years probably), then I'll be shooting for a really good, strong NA build. So Cams and valves and the whole schabang are on my list... VERY interested in seeing some numbers (not drag racing numbers!!!) once everything gets worked out

I believe I'm caught up now with camshaft cores (including the ones that are in the mail on their way to me). It also won't be long now before the whole line of camshafts are officially released and available on the website.
For now, the all out performance camset is all that's on the website. I've seen dynoplots of both sicksubie's supercharged car and of someone elses naturally aspirated car. Sicksubies plot shows that the cams do keep up with the increased flow of forced induction and allow the blower output to dictate power output. The naturally aspirated torque curve is simply awesome--the widest powerband I've ever seen. Unfortunately the health of the engine that was being tested was questionable and the person doing the dyno testing didn't want to risk taking it up to high rpms where we could see the actual torque peak and big power numbers. They stopped at 6k rpms and torque was still climbing. So while we haven't seen the peak numbers from these cams yet we know they do produce a huge powerband and will have a very high peak power somewhere between 7k and 8k rpms naturally aspirated. In order to run these rpms and not float valves you need the valves and springs included in the package that is on the website. The idle must also be raised to the neighborhood of 800 rpms. I will release matching engine management software with an adjusted idle and transmission control unit software with high rpm shift points shortly. It's obvious there is room for and a desire for a smaller cam package which doesn't require a raised idle and can be used without having to remove the heads to install new valves and valve springs. Such a cam package is on the way. I will post the plots of that package shortly. This set up with have a smaller 256 duration intake cam with a shorter 1mm duration and 8mm lift and a 256 duration exhaust cam with 9mm lift. You will be able to install these camshafts onto the factory heads. I also have extra sets of the 264 duration exhaust camshafts from the original run of camshafts where the intake cams were ruined. Fortunately there is a good use for these camshafts and I will sell them seperately. When used with the stock intake camshafts these cams should not effect idle but they will still provide the increased exhaust flow to improve high rpm performance with nitrous oxide or forced induction--ie this is your cheap turbo cam option. |

Perked my interest right here with this. I was just looking into the possibility of having my cams custom ground for a slight increase in flow over stock(coupled with the turbocharger). I knew of your current cam/valve set but didn't want to get that aggressive in the heads. This little cam option has my full attention, and eventually my money when the time comes! Regards, -Adam |

Mike:
Good to here you are back up and running. I'll be ready for cams soon. Right now I'm caging my bearings. Going to do some more block clean up in the water passages, then assembly. Once assembled I may talk to you about modifying my stock ECU, which still controls my idle, and my transmission TCU. How is your project car comming along? Haven't heard much, but then I understand why.
