Bluetop camshafts on...

[nmwisima]

They fit

[nmwisima]

Goodmorning!
Let's continue plz.

So cam's of the bluetop fit my GZE, from 232 to 240o...

Are they bolt on?
Do I need adjustable c/gears?
Do I need a piggy-back or something?

1. Are they bolt on?
2. Do I need adjustable c/gears?

1. yes
2, 3 will help but not required

Any chance that they make a difference, cause they are only little wilder than the stock...

[alimonos]

little wilder little more valve lifting ...
a little here ... alittle there ... and you get some more hp !
Don't you agree?

I wouldnt be to confident about gaining much horsepower with bluetop cams.. The timing has to be right too y'know..
Boosted cars react better to cams that have less overlap in their profiles..
NA engines do better with some overlap since that allows exhaust pulses to suck fresh fuel mixture in. Running a boosted engine on NA cams will make the fresh mixture get blown out the exhaust because the valves are still opened for a bit. Dunno how this applies to supercharged cars, but my guess is that it's not going to make much of an improvement.

if you want more hp, why not just upp the SC pulleys ratio? you got forced ind. go the easy way.

[nmwisima]

Allready got bigger pulley and closed blow-off.
Engine now runs at 0,8-0,9 bar (instead 0,55) and raises to 1,1 bar at 5.500 with 5th gear.

I m aksing cause this might be a cheap way (since Aloimonos allready has the cams) to get some power adding the OBX header i 'm about to buy soon :wink:

[Ivan141]

You could offcourse try to adjust the camgears to adjust the opening and closing times for less overlap using bluetop camshafts.

nmwisima, how much is she making now?
