Cams -std S16 With Gti-6 Manifold & Decat?

[bobob 0]

I have searched quite a bit, but cannot find anything on cams for the S16 engine. Could anyone advise me on a good cam for fast road car requirements. Maybe just an inlet cam?

 

also, any other engine improvements I should think about?

 

Thanks in advance for any help

Ive got an S16 engined 205 which im doing some work on at the moment. Has a shortened MI inlet manifold on it, std exhaust, and has a Catcam inlet cam, everything else is standard. Its running too much advance as far as i can tell, as it really is flat below 4k. But it pulls like a bloody train once it comes on cam, all the way through to the limiter. If it was retarded a bit im sure it would be impressive all over the rev range.

The GTi-6 exhaust manifold helped mine & Maxi's cars - especially with the spec of the engines.

Nightmare to fit to the S16 head, slightly worse on the MI head.............

 

If you get some wild cams, you'll need to have throttle bodies & programmable ECU too.

Hi,

 

If you manage to get the GTI-6 manifold onto the S16 head, would you be able to keep the S16 downpipe and exhaust, or will you have to replace the whole system with a GTI-6 one??

 

Cheers

one of my inlet regrinds and skim 1mm off the block.

Thanks for the replies.

 

I take it you can't skim the block while its still in the car? I will need the car most days, so having to drop the engine out isn't really a possiblity. Maybe I could get the head skimmed? What would you suggest?

 

Do you offer an exchange service with a surcharge? Or would I have to aquire a spare cam so you could regrind it so my car isn't off the road

 

Thanks in advance for the help

Skimming the head will achieve very little. The problem with these engines is the block. You need to get the piston closer to the head.

 

You can either send your cam over, or buy one outright ground on a new billet.

Thanks for the reply Petert.

 

How much do you do the billet cam for? Any forum deals like on the regrinds?

 

edit: I couldn't find any prices on your website either.
