2 cases, 3 piston sets, 2 cranks, 3 sets of valves, 3 sets of springs, 2 sets of heads, 5 cam sets, 2 cam housings, 3 tappet sets and three sets of turbo's.

 

CJV,

What will KA be running in the brake department?

 

I love you.


but really,

****.


what are your estimates on rise in view/replys do you think this will jump to once the numbers video or anything (with your consent) are released?

Congratulations.

 

also, if i may ask what different turbos did you go through?

 

...and a aprtridge in a pear tree!

R & D is expensive as hell no doubt.

 

its rare to find people as dedicated as you. are you going to put all your research into practice maybe my marketing an engine and transmission package based on your findings? or is this more of a personal venture?

 

It is a personal venture although S Car Go Racing, who has done most of the work has benefited from several of the parts that were developed.

 

Thanks to some friends in Germany, we will have these unique cam housings on November 6th. That is almost four weeks early. It appears the big boy in Germany is interested in seeing our work product completed.

 

as are we...looking good....

 

We have had many people ask us what what is involved in our cam project. Here is a brief description.

First we completed the GT3 R heads. Minor touch up of the ports and combustion chambers, ceramic coating and then micro polish of the coating in the combustion chambers. The heads were then flowed to determine optimum lift and duration for the intake and exhaust cams. Now on to the cams. Here is a short description.

Design radius bucket follower intake cam profile to replace factory turbo lift variable lift profile.

Design radius bucket follower exhaust cam profile to replace factory turbo flat profile.

Manufacture intake master plate.

Manufacture exhaust master plate.

Grind engine set of new factory blanks with above masters.

Measure radius of cam follower and CNC machine probe to measure street GT3 cams.

CNC machine drive fixtures to reference cam lobes to slot in rear of cam for factory cam timing tools.

Fit GT3 cam trays to GT3 R heads. Fit GT3 cams with GT3 buckets, measure valve lengths and bucket clearances.

Final fit of new design cams with trays and buckets. Check bucket clearances on base circle.

The time involved has been about eight months. The cost to flow, design, profile, and manufacture specific intake and exhaust cams was more than a regular engine rebuild. One thing we have learned is we will pick up approx. ten hp for every ten thousands of an inch we increase the lift up to a certain point. In addition, by custom sculpturing the duration for turbo application, the motor should be as smooth as silk with excellent response throughout the entire usable rpm range (2000 to 9200).

 

I know some of the 6speed members have upgraded their intercoolers. Has anyone used a certain heat dispersant coating on their upgrades?

 

That is a great question, I am working on a project as we speak that would benefit from this info as well.

BTW CJV, I have great patience, but you are showing a level of patience that is admirable. I am eager to see your final result(been following this thread for a very long time), and wish you best of luck.

 

Now why would you want to do that I believe some company in Europe does that with their $16,000 cores

 

thats seems like chump change compared to how much it sounds like CJV spent on the whole project...

 

Chasen1211,

I believe Sharkster was poking fun at a certain IC manufacturer who charges about 16K for their IC's. Alot of money to say the least. We could never figure out until recently how they were about 10% more efficient than our custom IC's.

Well like years ago, when we figured out how Ruf's comparable motors always made a little more torque ............... we believe we have now figured out why these IC's were always about 10% more efficient. The cost to gain this additional 10% is less than $500.00. Of course you first have to start with a good metal core/tank IC. It won't be long before the cat is out of the bag.

Sharkster and I have shared alot of info throughout the years, he is aware of what we did.
