Team Green 16V

sounds really good mik. how a 16v should rev. i remember going for a spin in this thing and the 6k limiter was just plain annoying.

should get it back on the dyno. it's obviously pulling hard from 6-7k.

You're right Jay, it is great fun when you are up that high in the range, but it is in the everyday section of the range I am focussing on now with the exhaust and possibly plugging in some larger injectors. Once the exhaust is on I will take it on the dyno again.

i think the easiest way to do that would be to buy an adjustable cam gear.. advance the cams a couple of degrees and dial in your ignition timing.

i've been playing with my adjustable cam gear lately and i can have my cam kick at like 5000 or 2000 just by adjusting it a 3 or 4 degrees in either direction.

techtonics do some pretty cheap ones. just make sure you get some different fasteners cause they allen key heads strip like crazy.

[mikinoz]

Nice idea.

I have $150 credit with ECS and they have one but it only has 6 degress +/- for $170



The Techtonics is 8 degrees +/- for $140



And then Autotech 10 degrees +/- for $135



How 'self install' is it? - I just checked the Bentley, I would give it a go if it was not for the 'special tool' needed for the 16v tensioner. Should probably replace the belt at the same time and the tensioner as it is only another $35.

I`d get the first pulley, or the last one. The TT ones can get stripped bolts real easy. The first one looks nicely made.
They should not be tinkered with lightly, you can do terrible things to the engine if you dont know what you are doing.

[jayjay]

mhmmm. exactly what matt says. you have a 16v hey... that could mean 16 bent valves.

get someone proper to install it/tinker with it.

[mikinoz]

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll get the exhaust done and then look at this after that. I'd like to see what the headers bring to the party...

Pulled out an old project with a bit of motivation to finish these for daily duties.

[DubSteve]

Great work Mick! Can't wait to see them finished

Raceland here -



Hooker here - now waiting on the inline res and some spare time to weld it.

[hitoriko]

awesome machine love the colour

[Jace]

I've read on the Vortex that the hardware (clamps/bands?) loosen themselves and slowly fall apart.
They look nice.

Sweet wheels and exhaust, Mik. Love it!!

[alex g]

Best be getting the welder fired up ehh

[mikinoz]

Once this puppy comes from NZ alex, I'll get around for an evening of pizza and welding at the shop!
