anybody wanna sponsor the dyno time?

[cali yaris]

you by chance havent heard how far these blocks can be bored have you?

we bored and sleeved to just about 1.6L, as far as my motor builder was concerned, that's all she has to give.

I want to do a 1.8L and bore it to 2.0, that's a much thicker block than ours and will tolerate the mod better.

[H3LlIoN]

which 1.8 are you looking at?

Parmas -

Alright...Cams only core charge is $250. To be honest, that's a bit ridiculous to me but, if you decided you absolutely wanted to have a set of gude cams, I would carry my ass out to the junkyard and get a set of cores for you and ship them to him, provided you pay for shipping and part. Guarantee you it would be a hell of a lot cheaper than $250, but I reckon he is charging for his time to go get them too. Anyway, he estimates shipping to Malta in the $80 to $100 range, cams/springs he says weigh right around 14 pounds. If you have a postal code/zip (I have no idea how european addresses work) I will get you a more exact estimate.


Now...as a side note, I emailed him and asked:

"You have it mentioned that the yaris head package that I ordered can add up to 30% gain in horsepower. What can I do, besides the head package that you are sending me, to maximize this gain?"

And he responded:
"Headers and 2-1/2 exhaust will help"

Just food for thought...I'm still planning on doing dyno without exhaust for you guys. I might even slap stock intake back on there for you.

Thanks for the update... so shipping charge is known now.

So if I send him cams the work total + springs + bearings would be $700 + $100 shipping right?

BTW postal code is ZTN04 (Area Code +356)

Oh and I just emailed this...

"Bill -

Another question from the forum guys...What kind of hp gain can be expected by just doing the Gude cams, without the tb and head?"

It'll be tomorrow before he answers, but I'll let you know what he says.

Bill emailed back and said to expect about a 15hp gain from cam kit alone.

Any idea where abouts in the rev range the cams are designed to produce power?

This will be important to those that don't have the facility to change their rev limit.

and he responded "This reading was at the wheels, dyno’s from one to the other very rarely read the same."

[H3LlIoN]

No, if you sent him cams, total would be $750 + shipping, which he ballparked around $100. Will send him postal code for actual shipping quote.

[H3LlIoN]

no clue, will ask.

[d1nzfe]

i guess the cams will be sleeping before 5500rpm, so rev cut removal is needed.

[H3LlIoN]

Alright, asked him for a graph showing just cams, and this is what he sent back...dyno'd at wheels.

[cali yaris]

red is with the cams?

This is on an xB? with any other mods?

[rob323]

I assume red is the power and black is the torque. But the graph is pretty meaningless without a stock cam baseline to compare it against. Although at least it is still making power right up to 6000 rpm, so that's a good sign.
