If listed all the go fast bits on my car, people would think AMAGAD BUILD THREAD??? but it performs rather.. averagely.

Not bad, just averagely.

It has Tomei type B's in it (engine is 2.8L), adjustable cam gears, and I'm not 100% certain that it's all the way it should be. It probably isn't actually wrong, but I doubt it's completely right so it'll bug me until it's checked.

I've also read many places on SAU that having an adjustable exhaust cam gear is of benefit. So I got one, with my cams, and no one has ever actually adjusted it to see if it does anything. Just a "she'll be right mate its designed to be on +0" in which case why even make the item?

Fair enough, have you had opinions from the tuners etc..?

Is it currently with a reputable workshop?

Curious to know which one its at. PM it if you want to keep the workshop private

bahahahah.

they are race cams for the 1.3 in the micra..... going stupidly cheap. but i dont know enough about duration/lift etc to even contemplate buying them....

I could ask a mate if you REALLY wanted to know....

race cams for race head or just OEM head???

If OEM will certainly requiring machining. That's about all I know.......and IF I'm wrong well my disclaimer is this.......kiss my French something something dark-side :P

i have consulted the guru of all that is micra.

ghettofrank.

hopefully he should get back to me when he wakes up, but from what im reading your right ants...

this is tomei poncam spec. http://www.rhdjapan.com/tomei-camshafts-procam-poncam-cg13de.html

the engine it came out of must have been mental.

just be wary: procam is for solid lifters. poncam is for hydraulic. anything bigger than 280-290 degrees... you'd want solid.

Dont know much about those engines, but cams that big is like "I need to wait 15mins for my car to warm up before its possible to drive it under 40km/h" and the "my car doesnt make power less than 4krpm"

Seems to be some car enthusiasts on my street, there's been beemers, mercs, and now micra project cars in the carport.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
