Hi Ted,
I am doing a fresh build 2.3l 6466 pte... I am using HKS gears from my last setup which are set at zero, and now running gsc s3 cams.. I can not for the life of me figure out why I can't get the cam gears to TDC. I have the cam gear tool, notches are matched up there...exhaust side is almost spot on TDC but intake side is way off

 

See my response in your discussion:

Hello Ted,
I also have 2.4 block build in my car and next days I will put GSC S3 cams and springs. My question is should I follow your advice for S2 on page 15 with -1/-2 instead of zero it -3/-3 or for S3 I should set it to different angle?

Thanks in advance. Regards from Bulgaria

 

For a 2.4 block, the -1/-2 suggestion is with respect to true zero. That means the cams must be set to the correct zero first. Due to the effect of the taller 2.4 block on the factory timing marks, that means the cams need to be adjusted as per what others have recommended to reach true zero, then move them -1/-2 from that position.

Personally, I would rather be at a beach on the Black Sea with a bottle of wine than talking about 2.4 cam settings, but that is your decision.

 

Thank you for the quick response. I will leave it -3/-3 for start and later will set to the corrections with -1/-2 and will check the difference.

It is snowing for almost 3 days, so you better grab a ski with you
Best Regards, Paul.

 

HI,


what setting do you recommend for a stock evo 4 engine and turbo (bolt on's and tune) with Brian crower stage 4 cams uograded springs and aem cam gears?


In the future car will have a bug turbo, but nor for now.


Thanks for your reply

 

One cannot give an accurate answer to this question because AMS' testing revealed that the timing of BC cams does not match the cam card. That means, we do not know where true '0' is with these cams. Your best option is a different set of cams (e.g. GSC).

 

got it! Thanks for your help

We already have The cams, so we might give it a try first before thinking of changing brands

 

hi Ted:


I'm using Tomei 270/270 11.5mm lift For Evo 9 mivec Wagon using its original Turbo
What Cam degree should I set


Thank you

 

For the exhaust cam setting, 0.

The intake cam needs to be tuned using MIVEC.

 

hi ted :

so what num will bee good at mivec tuning

thank you

 

MIVEC is a table that starts the intake cam at full retard, and allows the user to program the amount of advance according to operational conditions. The best strategy for MIVEC tuning is to start the cams at a relatively wide lobe separation angle, tighten it through peak torque, then widen it again, but that's all the detail I can provide from where I sit.

 

I'm running what you suggested -2/-2 on my 2.3 build, fp black and S2 cams.

Car feels good, power delivery seems very linear, it spools really quick and stays there like a flat powerband.

I would like to get some more top end, play a little with the cams to see what I like better, so what setting should I try for more top end? retard another degree?

Thanks for you reply

 

You can retard the intake another degree, but you'll need to play with the ignition advance to take advantage of whatever additional power may be found upstairs.

 

Hi ted, i'm running stock evo3 engine & turbo with hks 264 cam. Any setting for good respond daily use?
