Germs Plans and stuff

A ITB setup would make a smile on my face i think.. the sound of air going in.

Post by **germ** » 11 Mar 2007 11:49 pm

the redlines power starts at about 2000 (nice power at 3500)and continues to 7000 with its special cam try and go up a hill 40mph in 5th is impossible as i found out

on my mums 700 she never changes gear (very anoying!!)
5th gear all the time it really pisses me off clonk clock ratttle rattle up a steap hill at 30, it must be damaging somthing but she dont listen.

any way i think i am going to fit a 1.8 injection system on it see if its possible etc and boost the power up to 100- 110 hp would be nice then i am totally happy then when i have lots more experiance and better handerling and brakes maybe turbo the old girl.

but i need a welder

Cheers hijackers

Totally happy... that'll never happen

Just like I thought I'd finished my car 3 years ago!

Head swap should be easy enough, just watch for the changing compression ratios and piston shapes can't remeber which 400's have the different pistons, or are you doing a complete engine swap?

Intrigued to have a look at any markings on this cam...!!

just head i hope, i would like to see this cam too but i am not doing any thing till i get all the bits ready + reseach

i hope it will finish,will it never end!!

amr i thought i got the tinkering bug early for 300's but maybe its not come as quick a most

Cheers
will

ps would be nice to know which year of head and model to look for

pettaw: im used to having eff-all torque. i drive my mums 1.2 punto and i have to rag the tits off it to get anywhere. im sure the 360 with a k cam cant be worse than that car.

germ: no still no car

. im just waiting on pete to get it sorted so i can crash it

. itb's would sound very nice indeed and i bought a copy of 'honda tuning magazine' from the states a couple of years ago and it shows you how to make a diy itb setup using bike throttle bodies, so i'll have a go with the volvo if i can

Chris_C wrote:Other problem is if you don't have much experience, a K cam will make driving more difficult. It shifts the power band, and there really is NOTHING below 2500 compared to a less hot cam.

Cured that with programmable ignition, loads of torque from idle, defineatly same or more as with stock cam below 2000, but after 3000 heavens will open and K does it's trick and that difference will make your arse feel like it would be missing something at low end

K-cam is not yet really a sport cam, compared to many other engines that starts to be something normal, it revs normally and acts like an engine after change, of course you need programmable fuel injection and ignition for this as stock systems are just not designed for such.

Can't believe power going to 7k in redline, must see power curve, it may feel such, but in reality it may deliver power already at 6k.

I wanna see that too, as my 1.7 falls off very quickly past 4500. This was on the weber, the latest plot is at home (and it looks like my old uni account has finally died, try uploading it somewhere else... there we go)

http://www.chriscardwell.co.uk/gallery2 ... ewsIndex=1

That as I said is on a weber replacement after gas testing, stock everything else. The numbers I reckon are generous to say the least (I had something out when I did that one), but you can at least see the shape of the torque curve.

wierd..but i have that paper thats says its got a different cam etc i went to 7000 in 3 rd it still seemed to pull but not as much as 6000 but there was still somthing, speed incresed (no i wasnt going down hill)

imfact..thinking about it it dyed right out at 7000 i guess i am being stupid

but 6500 was very good when it hit there didnt really look after that

consentrating too hard on road.

Post by **germ** » 12 Mar 2007 06:53 pm

my dad conferms dyed just before 7000 totally ,didnt notice sorry

to 6500 definatly power. CONFERMED!

Your dad sounds pretty cool to be unfazed by 7000 rpm

Post by **Chris_C** » 12 Mar 2007 07:16 pm

I know you have that bit of paper that's why I'm interested

Any good with a soldering iron germ? Four blobs of solder, and you too can play http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... .php?t=952

I did change the resistor values, can't remember what too, but it's pretty simple to do!

Post by **germ** » 12 Mar 2007 07:19 pm

he certanly is cool hes a fun driver he all ways say put your foot down ...more ...abit more common.

for gods sake he owned all kinds of cool cars loyus bmw rover the first mazda mx5 in the country etc all older then 1990 but cool cars all the same.

i am very good with solder ill look in a sec

Cheers
