Fs: Lumpy ecotech cam

[taztassio]

Hey,

I have a BRAND NEW BILLET CAM TECH cam, specs as shown:

Advertised duration: 290in/290ex
duration at 0.050": 229in/229ex
Lift at Cam: 332"in/332"out
LSA: 110
intake centreline: 108

For stock heads this will need modified retainers, as its about 532" lift in and out.

Located glenwaverley, will post.

$550 no lower

(cost of grinding this custom cam was $550, and the cost of the billet ontop was more).

This will idle rough, and produce some mean top end power.

[mking]

how much are these things to get installed man?

[H1GHROLLR]

thats not a very lumpy cam the LSA:110 is very very tame

[greenfoam]

In a ls1 maybe.... but that's getting right up there for the V6's it would be VERY grumpy at idle

[chargedvx6]

thats not a very lumpy cam the LSA:110 is very very tame

Yeah the LSA is 110 but did you check the duration? 230? Great top end from this thing if it's tuned right

[taztassio]

ahah this is NOT a tamed ecotech cam.

call camtech yourself. this is a CUSTOM GRIND, for 3-5000 rpm, rough idle. its all written on teh card.


you can do the cam yourself, but it would be in the range of $400-$800 to get installed.

This will produce some MEAN power for someone serious about their ecotec.

to give you an idea, stage 3 intense cam has specs as follows

CAM-363 - INTENSE™ Stage 3 Normally Aspirated Cam, duration @ .050": 222º/230º, lobe lifts: .339"/.331", valve lifts with 1.60:1 rocker arms: .542"/.529", lobe separation angle: 110º, intake centerline: 106º

This cam as MORE intake duration, and very similar lift

here is a vid of a STAGE 2 in a car in the US with a reasonable size exhaust

the ramp rate of the lobes has a lot too do with it to and just looking at that cam sitting there it has a fast ramp rate be nice and choppy i bet. very nice looking new billit too

[taztassio]

delcowizzid hit the nail on the head.

this is why i posted a picture, so people SERIOUS about ecotec power will get a good idea

[mking]

do you have a vid or sound clip of when it was in and what kind of kw increase does this give you?

cheers

[17UCK!]

i would totaly buy this but ive already put 1.95 rockers on sounds sick tho

[kego]

so if i got this cam,what would i need to do to my ecotech to get it running right.like what needs upgrading ?and what do you think it will set me back ? very interested

[Pub247]

you need it installed and tune cost would be around 1500 for installation and tune. probably new valve springs and performance or new lifters wouldnt go astray either. Looks like a decent cam

[taztassio]

cam is BRAND NEW never installed.

stock lifters are hydraulic roller, so they will be fine, just setting up the preload on them will be your concern.

i would run MINIMUM 105# valve springs, and you will need either VITON valve seals or MODIFIED retainers to allow for the increased lift (seals are about $30 from states, and retainers are about $70).

this will produce great power, and is probably the biggest you can run on stock heads. i am not going to claim a KW increase as there are so many variables.

also, pushrods will be needed.

on 1.6 rockers you will have 532" lift in/ex. max the heads allow is 520". so modified retainers give you 30" more clearence, and the viton seals give you 20". thus either/or will be under 520" and allow you to run the cam.

also suggested a double row timing chain if you run more than 105".

also, rockers can be sold straight up for a good price, this will give you MORE of a power increase than rockers. as not only is the lift more than 1.95's, the duration is what gets the power. (how long the valves are open).

this is an absolute steal for someone wanting a great cam. the billet+delivery etc add a couple of hundred onto the cost of the grind ($550) and im prepared to wear the cost of that.

With rudds money coming in for most of you, put it to a needy cause, your car

[taztassio]

do you have a vid or sound clip of when it was in and what kind of kw increase does this give you?

cheers

check the video.

this will be choppier than that as the vid link is a stage 2 intense, and this is atleast as choppy as the stage 3

[delcowizzid]

gotta love a nice choppy idle like in that vid

[taztassio]

yeah its pretty aggressive.


At the stage the cam is SOLD.
