Yes i can see what your saying mini13, but you never know. Yes your right it's not a Phase 2 cam.
Josh, your right mate.

yep, best to check to be sure though...

what are you looking for Jim?

Incidentally mat, you can answer this or not ?
Whats the cam your running ?

It would be nice for you to give us the full spec of your motor

It would be a good thing to have a few more 200 Bhp+ motors on the road to bash all chavs and barryboys.

If you don’t want to
well I can see why

i carnt find the thread now jim.

im sure thats why turbo dave was soting out a clutch to handle alot of power!
im sure it was morspeed that made it/
whats his user name on the site and ill see if i can find the link.

cheers

Did that post turn out to be a cock and bull story, wasnt it with the k1100 head and the person who wrote it said the clutch slip it was on a engine dyno and not a rolling road, i am no genium but dont engine dynos run straight off the crank or fly wheel

Lets please stick to facts that people have witnessed first hand or have other cast iron proof about.

Hey guys,

I'm seeing one common trait here; Matt is clearly keeping his cam profile to himself. Way I see it - that's fine... He's clearly found something that works for him; either through R&D or plain good luck. He's alreay told us more than some 'high power' folks about what boost / etc he's running...

What you need to remember is that you aren't the only one that reads these posts...

I do know - and I believe this was posted in the VERY early days of TM - is that Matt tried the ph2, and it didn't give the results he was hoping for, so reverted back to his previous grind.

I'm sure if someone searches hard enough, they'll find the post.

One thing is for sure; the cam grind itself isn't going to 'make or break' a turbo engine. The cam timing, the turbo compressor trim, the turbine A/R, the state of the turbine wheel, the valve sizes, the rpm limit, the fuelling, the compression ratio, etc, etc, etc, all come together to make the bananas. Read books, expeiment with different turbos, different cams, etc.

You'll find the results yourself eventually.

yep, i agree,

I was just thinking in terms of PH2 verses RE13, which i think will be an interesting comparison, I know the PH3 has been tested against the RE13 but not the PH2 yet AFAIK

I suspected that Matt had something different in his engine, which is fine and he has every right not to divulge what it is, but if he just had a PH2 then I see no harm in him telling us that.

oh, when i say RE13 I mean one ground on a wide LCA, around 112-114 degrees.

Sounds like the RE13T cam could be interesting; but it is pointless someone testing it and repoting good stuff on a R5GT turbo'd engine with 14psi and a high-ish CR, then assuming that it'll work the same magic on a engine running a low CR and a big T3.

I'm running a stock MG grind as I wanted to 'baseline' a cam on injection (including swinging the cam timing) before trying other grinds on the same turbocharger, CR, and head that I intend to use until I get bored of minis. That is the only real world way to optimise a camshaft. Changing other variables invalidates the results.

I heard about some methanol/avgas supercharged oddity which gave 300hp on an engine brake. Think I read about it here somewhere. It was an inline engine and used a mutant hybrid clutch and a ford box IIRC

Bugger off, I'm getting there.

thats what i done dave changed from williys cam to another to see the difference but ill be changing back next year as willys was better at the bottom.

but thats the only way to see differences like t3tone has done.

eg 276 with 1.5 rockers changed to 1.3's with no power loss but went to 266 and lost 7 bannanas but smother at the bottom.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

First 5-port EFI turbo in the world (built 1997, running in 1998)

Still bloody good going even with out the correction :)

also with engine dyno figures are flywheel figures and no clutch is involved , is drive straight from flywheel to dyno

also my engine was dynoed on the same dyno
