yer my 202 was running smooth on 4 cyc lol but since im putting in a new motor this week i wanna see if i can get her sounding nice n ruff nut running ruff but sounding ruff maby ill just pull of the cat and leave the muffler or maby leave the muffler off hehe

[VR_Acclaim]

true a lil more fuel to give it a burgel

[VryNeat]

if i remember rightly 202s dont have cats connected to them as they didnt become compulsory until the vls feel free to correct me if im wrong tho

[VR_Acclaim]

anything unleaded had them vks did my 84 n12 et had it from factory,,,,although im not sure that the vb-vh did or didnt because mine didnt

[Zeussy]

lol, just retard the timing a shit load,

Nah, VH's didn't get cats, they were leaded fuel. vkjonno's VK didn't have a cat, maybe it changed half way through the VK's?

Just throw a lumpy as **** cam in it, sound nice as.

[ari666]

take a lead off? or swap two leads around. that'll get her running nice and lumpy.

lol, i cant believe i am perpetuating this.

[vktorana]

Lol here is one get a new set of leads and only put 5 on and leave the old one on! It will miss every now and then on the old lead while idoling but as soon as ya take off it runs smooth! Lol I didn't do that on purpose by the way lol the vk came like that!

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

VK never had a cat.

Why don't you put a big rice wing on the back while you're at it? You obvioulsy want to give the impression that your car is something it is not.

[QldKev]

Get one of those ebay fake blow off valves, the one where you don't need a turbo.

You could always get some speakers and mount them at the back of you car facing outward; the just record a lumpy V8 and just play it really loud as you drive up the street.,

Put a different cam in it.

Good bang for your buck.

You could do something dumb like make a manual choke for it and pull it on and get it running real rich, my 202 runs really lumpy if you start it warm and pump it once to set the choke without it needing it. Sounds surprisingly like a 253 with a stock exhaust, you really have to hear to believe. Im gonna cop it for saying that but i got pulled over once just around the corner after i left a mates house and the cop wouldn't believe me it was a 202....................

[Tree cutter]

Open the spark plug gaps up to 80 thou and it will run like shit.

[Darren_L]

strange request....
the manual choke idea (suggested above) is probably the best way to simulate the idle of an engine with a big cam, whilst still maintaining the ability to revert back to normal engine performance when required. Start changing leads around etc and thing is going to misfire both on idle and and acceleration, which I assume you don't want. Retard the timing and it will barely make 60kph on full noise.

However keep in mind any of the suggested methods aren't good for the engine long term. So I'd highly recommend just waiting until you can afford a bigger cam

or really intelligent

[ari666]

or really rich... since a cam and lifters is only about 130 bucks...

or all three...

(how much for an 8?)

[ari666]

350 ish. depends on what brand you want. i got a "megatorque" for 130... still got i here somewhere. you an have it for free if you are ok with putting a used cam in.

Very tempting. I have been considering doing a full rebuild as I really want more grunt - in which case would probably go for all new parts, but I really appreciate the offer! What is involved in changing the cam?

[ari666]

loads. dont bother. lol. no im serious, there is so much to consider it isnt funny. pm me if you wanna get into it a bit more

I wasn't serious...
Maybe I should've written it in itallics to show the sarcasm, thought the smiley face would've been enough to see it was a joke

Got just the thing for you, get one of these....
