I'm not sure by what you mean to small for a stroker, my 3.0ltr has 250 x 9.15 poncams with GT-RS twin turbos and with 28psi made 623hp at all for

As for relief for cam lobes, it really should be done to suit cam which would mean you red to get cam and then see what needs removing

Sweet! thanks for that!

Surely you could use any cam to figure out how much you need to relieve the head by measuring the current clearance and factoring in higher lift....

I thought the same thing but couldn't be arsed posting it. See how close the stock cam gets to the edge of the lifter bore (feeler gauge), add extra lift to stock lift from cam catalogue and subtract existing clearance = material to be removed from lifter bore edge.

Maybe the easy way to do it is to drill and tap a hole into the lobe of a scrap cam, and use a cap screw put into that thread as a proxy for a real cam lobe peak. You can wind the screw in and out to set the lift of any available or conceivable cam lobe.

You could use a stock scrap cam and measure the extra hieght just make sure you go a bit wider incase the new cam lobe is wider then stock, knowing the base circle would also help, I personally would rather use the new cam to get it spot on so you know you have taken enough without taking to much, but yeah there is always more then one way to skin a cat

do you mean we shouldn't buy tomei cams because of bad quality controls on their lifter or because they might not have them in stock ?

what spec are your camshaft?

I wasn't aware of UE before this thread, their website is under construction and on their facebook page , all recents post are about american big build. so it must be the reason why not everyone knows about these cams.

However, I had a facebook conversation with them and all they offered me was some tomei or mine's camshaft, nothing custom here.

and when I asked them about the complete kit, as per piggaz 's recommandation. they never replied to my message. Either I don't have the right shop, they dont make custom camshaft anymore or they think I'm not a serious buyer..

you will have to be patient with UE giving you a response, they are not good at answering emails, call them

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
