Hi slightly off topic, but still cam related. I have a EK with a few mods and I am looking to extract a little more performance out of it as I don't think it is at it's full potential.
Here are the mods so far:
B18C block
Balanced crank , rods and pistons etc
ARP bolts and studs right through the engine from top to bottom
Toda Pistons (Teflon coated)
Eagle rods
Toda high volume oil pump
Spoon Sports metal head gasket
Type R head (ported and polished etc by Lyn Rodgers, Auckland NZ )
Stainless valves
Toda spec C cams
Toda valve springs
Toda cam Gears (no not just for show, they have been used)
Toda timing belt (Red)
Skunk2 retainers
TWM Quad throttles (52mm)
Toda 4-2-1 headers
Denso 540cc injectors
SX high volume fuel filter
SX fuel pump (up to 1000hp)
Spoon Sports radiator hoses
Spoon Sports earthing kit
MSD external coil
MSD ignition control
Spoon Sports spark plug leads
Integra Type R LSD gearbox
Spoon Sports flywheel
Apexi exhaust (modified)
N1 Muffler
Tanabe under braces (front & rear)
Autronic ECU
Up graded engine mounts (Rally As Auckland)
Spoon Sports rear gearbox mount
Mugen front strut bar
Do - Luck Rear cross bar
Z10 Traction bars
EM Racing C Pillar bar
Tanabe rear sway bar
Tein Flex suspension
EDFC controller
Carbon bonnet
Varis body kit (Imported)
Spoon Sports SW388 15 X 7 wheels and Nuts
Spoon Sports carbon fibre mirrors
The car is mainly used for drag racing and doesn't do a lot of driving on the road. All the estimates I have had are with this setup it should have around 250 to 270hp at the wheels but at present we are only producing around 200hp.
After reading the posts above I am thinking that it could be suffering from the soft toda valve springs described above.
Any comments would be apreciated and any cam suggestions would also be helpful too.
Thanks.
