Cams....NA tuning

[The Bounty Bar Kid]

TBH if you was going for an all out build a HR would be a small cost towards getting a lot more power. HR with cams, HC pistons, valves, springs head work etc would be awesome.

 

I know the twin intake would be ditched but the engine is stronger.

 

Pretty sure you could have ITBs in a air box and that way you wouldn't need standalone. Il need to check that though.

 

The point with the standalone is that ITBs require a good old-fashioned cable controlled throttle, but the stock ECU relies on fly-by-wire throttle and gets massivley confused if you change that. Even if you added an airbox to use the stock MAF (makes the ITBs sort of pointless surely?) the cable control issue remains. It may be possible to somehow piggy-back the stock ECU but every Jenvey build I've seen (admittedly only three) has used a standalone for simplicity and enhanced tunability.

 

Totally with you on the HR though. You wouldn't need to do anything to the intake or internals on an HR, just cams and you'd have a pretty sweet N/A motor. It would cost soooo much more to make a DE produce the same power N/A as an HR with cams. For some reason that doesn't stop me wanting to do it though

Hence how I've got 325-330 bhp by just changing exhaust, adding HFCs and changing panel filters to cosworth panels.

 

So much easier. ~ 54-59 bhp extra than a standard de engine. That's a small car!
