Hi,
i just wonder will it be safe and better to advance a tooth on the Intake cam side for a better torque response?

Or i should just stick to the GSC cams setting spec's?

 

The excess duration with big cams already provides an amount of IN advance and ex retard

A tooth would be way too much intake valve at overlap, might even touch. Need an adj gear and do like 1-2 crank degrees.

BTW you still get good torque with S2s IN retarded. Mine is about -5+4 (In EX).

 

Yeah, a tooth is like 14 CAM degrees...
WAY too much...

If you want the car to run terrible and be down on power every where, give it a shot.

Other wise, pick up a set of adjustable cam gears and start testing in 1-2 degree increments.

 

Thanks Guys for sharing...
I hope my car still response greatly when i put in my Gt3076R this week...

 

to add response, advance intake cam
to add top end power, retard intake cam

you could advance it 1 tooth if you wanted to, it would not idle very nice though.
But you would get a sizable gain in response.
Mivec moves 30degrees, so 1 tooth is half of that

BUT it must be retuned. changing cam timing changes the engines VE

 

Im running S2's without Cam Gears on the std settings they work great...

Try them without advance first and see how your setup works with the new turbo, I doubt you will need to adjust them they are great cams...

Thanks Guys as ive no doubt on GSC cams power band too...hahaha

Hi Supersal,
what is the power achieved on your ride on S2 2.0L?
