lol, ive been having to force myself not to get on it hard, but im almost at 500miles now so im about to change the oil and play a little rougher... i started with the timing set at 20, it ran fine, but i wanted to run through alot of different variations to test all components, so i dropped to 18, which was still good, but not as torque happy as 20, i also tried it advanced to 22 and didnt like the way it felt at all, noticably unstable. so i have stuck with 20 and am happy with the timing it idles around 800-850, i ran these settings with all of the cam setups also and liked 20 the best, we will see soon how it holds up through the powerband above 4000rpms... as for the cams, i started with the 248/248 setup and liked it alot, may go back once ive got it broken in and can really take advantage of a longer exhaust duration, i also ran a s14 setup with 232/232 and even though i was skeptical because i have heard its not good to run a shorter cam on HC i had to try it, i personally felt that i liked it the best, Lots of torque! and very quick throttle response, i actually liked this setup best with the timing retarded to 18.. then i moved on to a 248intake/232exhaust which was also nice, as most ppl running this setup have stated, it makes for a great midrange... it seemed that they all had their advantages in one way or another, i guess its all in what you are looking for in a powerband, i personally wanted a good rounded power curve, quick off the line and pulling throughout, and i believe with my current setup the 248/240 won out, but i am gonna try the 248/248 again this week to compare on top end power, it pulls really strong up to 4000rpms with the 248/240, but i have yet to pass the 4000 mark in fear of something going wrong before everything is broke in and seated properly...im hoping to get it on a dyno this week also with a couple different setups, so i will have some numbers to go with the mods... i will definitly keep u guys posted, i also have a turbo project in the works on my spare engine, so i will prob be postin up some numbers on it through the summer also... if anyone has been thinkin bout going HC for some extra power, i would highly recommend it, its a very straight forward mod if u are experienced with engine rebuilds, and doesnt require alot of work to make it run properly... i plan to get a JWT ecu ASAP for better tuning, i hear the waiting list is pretty long though, but its running fine on the stock ecu thus far...oh, and if anyone knows where i can find a cheap s13 coupe with a straight chassis, the interior and cosmetics are irrelevant, preferrably without an engine on the east coast let me know... im looking for a coupe to drop my turbo motor in
... thanks for all the replies, and thanks for all the help.. J.
)stage 2 clutcheliminated clutch fanVLSDand thats about it for now, im hoping to get one of the PDM bushing packages towards the end of the month... anyone have any experience with them?.. any input would be appreciated..
... but i promise as soon as i have some sheets they will be on here, on the upside its giving me a chance to play around with a few more configurations, and a few odds and ends ive been toying with... dont worry though, u guys will be the first too see some #'s and the setup that got 'em, thanks for everyones interest in this project, i'll be more than happy to help ppl out with any questions once i got everything tuned accordingly... thanks again
