Ruckkehr's 二回目 Second Lap: Clean Build

[Greasemonkey2000]

The mechanic at least told me that without the ECU properly handling it the engine would lean out and cylinder temps would skyrocket possibly leading to damage very quickly if say under WOT.

Humm...I was just going by what 949 Racing has for the Tomei cams:
"* The NA8 BP05 cams will work with OEM lifters, valve springs and ECU provided either OEM intake or exhaust is used.

* If high flow intake and exhaust are both used with any of the cams on this page, the OEM ECU will not provide enough fuel potentially leading a a dangerously lean condition (boom!). Additional power gains will be found with a fully programmable ECU regardless of what other parts are fitted to the engine."

Obviously these are B6 HKS cams so maybe they are more aggressive and the B6 ecu isn't as capable as the BP...

From the internet:

264 Intake
Max Valve Lift - 10.3mm
Valve opens at 2 deg BTDC
Valve closes at 28 deg ABDC
Valve Centerline 105 deg

264 Exhaust
Max Valve Lift - 9.8mm
Valve opens at 42 deg BBDC
Valve closes at -12 deg ATDC
Valve Centerline 121


On a lighter note, it was really cool seeing how these cams changed the cars personality. It heavily smoothed out the HP curve until it was very linear. Pretty much shaped like */*

I didn't feel the "dead zones" until redline, it was really and truely awesome feeling.
