Jordan99940 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 regarding my throttle body set up having the 1.8 engine and also owning a pair of 130 spec camshafts would i have more gain fitting these to the car than the 115 cam shafts currently in the car? as my megasquirt management can be mapped to suit these cams would it be beneficial seeing as the i will not need the Loom inlet manifold and MAF because this would be changed on the tb set up thanks Any one who answers Jordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNITERIDER Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 at a guess to stu's answer it would be you may gain a smidgen rite at top of rev range but loose power lower down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan99940 Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 isn't that what happens when you don't have the management set up thou surely with the megasquirt mapped correctly it would be different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) This is the typical gain you'll get by properly mapping it... solid line is my mapping.. dashed is OEM.. std 1.8 zetec, hot inlet cam, cool exhaust cam, some 4-2-1 manifold and stainless exhaust.. http://di.cx/gallery/d/5487-1/eec_vs_ms_rr_01.jpg Ignore the actual figures as the rolling road wasn't accurate, but look at it as a matter of ratio/percentage difference.. in other words.. not much.

Jordan99940 Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 when put like that almost not worth it but then i can think of the pub stories i can tell and think to me self is it worth it... probably not lol Cheers stu you should get a award of some kind some thing small like a Knighthood for being asked the same amount of questions over and over again and not gettin pi$$ed off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 i could think of a pub story to i know some one who spent ages putting in 130 spec cams after reading the umpteen amount of threads on this saying its not worth it . then had a megga squirt ecu into the equasion and a remap to find its hardly any quicker than a standard car at all ...... wat a plonker!!!!

stoney Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 yes you say this but being an escort remember Rust is lighter than paint no rust is heavier than paint but is ment to be lighter than carbon fibre wich is bull as the only way it would be lighter is if it wasnt there full stop as iron oxide not only has the weight of the iron /steel but also the weight of the water it is retaining.
