mos Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Before i went away i managed to get a dyno run with the intake cam i fitted on my N/A. The results were 10hp in the mid range increase and a gradual drop in the gain untill it matched the 206 (at wheels) before the cam fitting. I have a few things yet to be played around with (exhaust etc) before i can give a confident increase amount but i will keep you posted (even it it takes a while). I did have a snag with kangarooing but this has been sorted with a new throttle position sensor and i am getting a stalling problem at the moment but the fuel pp is whining severely and i have a replacement on order and believe this is what is causing it (or idle vv). Once this is sorted as i say i will let you know and if i manage to get a re-grind of the exhaust cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 As ever, I am dead keen to hear your results, as I see this as the next step for my car. Was the throttle sensor just knackered or was it an issue with the new camshaft? I know I was hassling you for costs so I apologise if that offended you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 The car ran fine after fitting the cam untill i left it sitting for 3 months then it just wasnt right. It wasnt due to the cam, i just think its the age of the sensor. The timescale is unfortunately dragged out by the lack of time i now have to do the things i want with the car. Rob, no hassle at all and no offence, its a simple enough request for costs of something and at some point i will try and find the receipt. The reason before was i was due to leave and getting on the computer was a bit of a problem that upset the wife (quality time and all that)(although how watching eastenders and bloody coronation street counts god only knows). I have to be carefull and only post costs when shes not around as she likes the children to be clothed and fed for some reason. I can only give cost of parts as i do the fitting myself. later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Cool. I think most of us, that live with a lady, understand what you're saying. It's always difficult trying to justify your latest Supra expense, especially if the wifes just blown £200 on a s@dding handbag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 As a complete hijack moment, this bit of your sig Rob: "Of course, not everything from Sweden is so pleasant. A Sunday afternoon spent in a branch of IKEA, for example, has been scientifically proven to be slightly less pleasant than having a park bench welded to your eyelids and then being thrown into the sea. " I myself have sent that to someone, it's a cracking quote -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I know, had me in kinks last night. I hadn't read Sniff Petrol in over three months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos Posted December 22, 2003 Author Share Posted December 22, 2003 Rob still cant find the receipt but cost was about 270 i think, got the cam from Nathan at TDI. I have found a U.K. company who are willing to build and grind my exhaust cam to my profile so should get that done in the new year and ill let you know the outcome/cost of the build and grind and the final gains (if any). P.S fixed my snag its an update in another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
