cool deal if i remember right his motor will be tweaked a little as well as the turbo or has that plan slipped away

[jmihalchik]

he sold the cam, and the n2o if up for sale. stock cam is best for boost. so its slipped a bit.

Cool! Keep us updated! Where's the intercooler going to be? What's the exhaust manifolds look like?

that isnt always true. you will always make more power with a custom ground aftermarket cam designed for a specific application.

[slomaro]

what are the specs on the turbo and what is that intercooler rated at?

[fred slawson]

Mattv6 would you care to expound on a turbo camshaft for a 3.8 and is it boost range specific?

Cool jsut make sure its faster then the TT Mustang. [img]smile.gif[/img]

turbo cam's are cool. they're not like normal camshafts. there's so much gray area with turbo cams that u could play w/ them forever and never know just how it'll work w/ a certain turbo.

a good base point would be a dual pattern cam w/ the same intake and exhaust lift & duration. having a cam w/ a powerband that matches the turbo would be perfect, but since ur trying 2 match 2 parts of a motor that are affected by each other, it's hard to say exactly what ur powerband will be.

Rules to follow in a cam selection:
Match total lift to the flow characteristics of ur heads and stay below the choke point(too much lift will cause the air flow to become very turbulant and mess u'll lose flow)
Match duration to displacement of the motor and stay below the max flow velocity point(too long of an opening will cause the air to move in too slowly and u'll lose flow into and out of the cylinders and hinder turbo spool up)
Use lobe separation to tune ur powerband(too much and ur motor won't make usable power till too high in the powerband, too little will underpower ur car but make for a great towing vehicle)
use intake timing to adjust ur powerband's shape(used to either make a peaky powerband or a smooth powerband)

AW did you ever get your converter?

[mattsv6]

my cam is a little radical, but i went really wide on the intake and real short on the exhaust duration. tis allows the intake charge too fill for a long time, then expell the gasses extremely quick. same with the lift. high lift intake and smaller exhaust. this all helps spool because the more air in, the more air out. and if the air has too work a littel too get out it increases velocity.

my turbo is a t3/t4 hybrid with internal wastegate. .50 compressor .82 turbine 57 wheel trim. The intercooler is a Precision Turbo IC commonly used on the GN's and is internally finned.

don't think that will happen ;)

Shane, looks sweet, can't wait to see how your car comes out.


Ryan.-- i better get this Vortech blower on soon... too many people getting fast.

never got the 'verter xarajax. actually, u might wanna match intake/exhaust lift instead of over-emphasizing the intake. long duration intake, cool, but also killing lift for exhaust, doesn't seem like it'd make max power.

If you are looking at turbo cams i would look at www.intense-racing.com They know what they are talking about with turbo cams if they can get a turbo front wheel drive GTP into the 10's
