340 1.7 tuning

Post by **germ** » 21 Nov 2006 03:43 pm

my dads bmw 2002 has a 292 degree camshaft and its fine on the road

lots of low down torque and high up power it a comrimise between road and race

What would be the volvo 340 1.7 s eqwilevent? (forgot how to spell sorry)

the bottom one would give you the most power if you were to turn it into a track car (which is what im planning to do) due to it having the highest lift.

this is from what (little) i know, so if im wrong then you know why...

oh btw - GOT MY DRIVING TEST TOMORROW!!!

Eat a good breakfast, plenty of protein.

Do some relaxation exercises on the lead up, breathing exercises are good - in through the nose, out through the mouth. Clear the mind...

Focus as you walk to the car - 101% concentration at all times.

Then go on the rampage and see how many pedestrians you can hit

ALSO MY INSURANCE IS SO EXPENSIVE PROBALLY THE MOST EVER
AS I DRIVE A 1.7 VOLVO ITS JUST OVER 1500euros 6mouths

I wrote a really lot post, but my connection screwed up, and I lost it

Here's a quick summary of what I wrote first time:

1) Good luck! Look around lots...make it obvious you're observing

2) For a 'fast road' tune, I'd not start by looking at cams. Get a big intake system (big twin-choke like a Weber DGAV 36 or 38, or twin sidedrafts...DCOEs or similar), and take it from there. If you have it tuned properly and the rev band feels too 'low', then you could think about a cam, but a well-chosen production (read: scrapyard) cam is probably adequate.

cheers

James, do you use IE or Firefox?

There seem to have been a lot of people recently who've lost posts due to accidentally pressing back. I don't know about IE, but in Firefox, I can press back with a post written up, then press forward and the text is still there

I'm an IE man. That does usually work in IE too...but in this case I had a total crap-up (router got sleepy), and it was going no-where...which necessitated a start from scratch courtesy of the update email, wiping any record of the text.

cheers
