as far as i know there are no high power spec cams available for a NA fto...

Have a chat to RPW... if anyone knows, they do...

They put the 6a13tt cams in mine... But im not sure what would suit yours...

im presuming it would be $3k+ and would need some aftermaket ECU to help make the most of it...

im guessing 15kw atw???

Lol cams in n/a mivec fto ?

The high high cams are actually a pretty good profile already, with a few breathing mods, they are still making power when ecu fuel cuts the bugger.
I believe there's a tad bit available for gain down low but it's only a bit more torque...way not worth the money we're talking here. IMHO, it's not worth playing with cams in a mivec if you're going to stay n/a. If you plan to FI later, then that may be a different story, or if your car is a dedicated track car.

Do some work on the heads. Take a couple of thou off them to bump up the compression, port out the inlet & exhaust ports, port the intake manifold to match.

ok thanks Ben

Spoke to some of the poms who've decked the heads - reckon they got some good hp increases out of it. Gotta be careful not to go too far thou, valve clearances can get tight.

if a workshop had no customer lineup, how long would it take for them to deck, port and polish, and refit the heads for these? and would the computer need a retune, or would it balance itself out?

the pumps were locked for 7 weeks and then a staff member unlocked 2 of the 4 pumps

a full investergation is underway I should know in 3 working days.
if shell will not pay I will get the servo as they have told me why the pumps were locked and have admitted lyability

you can get bad batches for sure...seem people blow engines with highly tuned cars...the ecu will R&R on a bad batch usually to save u form serious detonation. rule of thumb is to always buy fuel from places with lots of customers. Fuel can go off..particularly the 100RON VPR.

so aza013...what actualy went wrong?

at first the car started to bog down blow smoke, I got it in to a servo to get it off the road then it stalled whent to restart and started to kick over and then nothing.

it turns out that the injecters got blocked open and filled the cilenders and bang lock up towe truck time

a full service was done just a week befor injecter cleen the works
