c16se cam

[alan b]

hey lads just wondering if i put a cam in a c16se will the dispak retard the timing about? just cos mate a mine put a kent in his gte and had to retard the timing abit to get it right but i wont be able?

[Adam]

Nope

[alan b]

so itl run like balls then?

[craig green]

put a flowed head on it instead with bigger inlet valves. Money better spent tbh.

[alan b]

i mite be getting both, but wont the ignition timing be way off then with no way to fix it?

[Ash]

Stand-alone management. :D

As craig said, spend money on the head, not the cam. Theres one on ebay atm.

[Adam]

Id stick with the standard head tbh, it flows well and has quite good valve sizes. And a head with larger valves costs quite a bit(more than an engine swap)

With the standard management you cant control the fueling or the ignition, so with a decent cam it wouldn't run too well.
It will run with say a 270deg cam, but thats a tad pointless.

[alan b]

stand alone managment = money i dont have! anyone tell me will a c16se run good with a cam and bigvalve head?

[Adam]

The bigfactor is what cam?

[alan b]

nv051 nvo52 nv062 nv061 which would be best all 270 deg or 263 deg?

[alan b]

so these engines seem fairly hard to tune then?

[Adam]

Any of those four will work fine.
Id go for the 270deg one, altho i wouldn't bother buying a new one, as its a lot to pay for not much of a gain.

[alan b]

what kind of gain roughly? what else is best for these engines?

[Adam]

With not much budget, theres not much doing tbh.

They are VERY tuneable, the way forward is aftermarket management, headwork and a good cam(290/300deg), the standard inlet can flow enough for 150hp!

[alan b]

so could i use a sr cam box with kent cam sr distributer and then webers?

[Adam]

Keep your cam box.

Webers and a set up will cost just as much as a standalone ecu.

ive got an 296 degree cam with my c16se its a distubtor not a dizzy by the way,and head been skimed and ported and polished .

[Mike]

If you want to be really cheap, use an SR camshaft.

If its a mechanical style dizzy (rotor arm & cap style), its an E16SE.
