tune for cams
ok lets say im getting cams and sprokets soon... and lets also say i put them in myself (easy job)... and lets also say im a college kid who is pretty much broke (hypethetically, but not really its true) lets say i get the cams in and decide on a place to get a tune. do i need a programmer for them to do that (extra 300-400) or can they just plug into my diagconnector and do a little dance and boom reflash the pcm? what have all you done

RE: tune for cams
When you say sprockets, do you mean adjustable? Because the whole idea behind adj. sprockets is no tune at all! I would get cams and a custom tune which runs about $250-350
You really need to know what you are doing to time those cams |
RE: tune for cams
you need a handheld or a chip to piggyback on the stock ecu, and who says swapping cams on modulars is easy?
|
RE: tune for cams
ok any recomendations on a chip, bc the tuner needs to be held off until the funds come along a few weeks into summer vaca. changing the cams IS easy, making them work is NOT. lol

ORIGINAL: 97targa When you say sprockets, do you mean adjustable? Because the whole idea behind adj. sprockets is no tune at all! I would get cams and a custom tune which runs about $250-350 You really need to know what you are doing to time those cams also the current crop of adjustable cams is junk! mainly the Fidanza/Comp ones. |
RE: tune for cams
ya i prob wouldnt even go with those anyways, just line up some marks on each of the sprockets and chains should do the trick. i bleieve the 99's have a removeable link on the chains so its not a big to get the chain on. am i correct.

RE: tune for cams
what cams are you using?
|
RE: tune for cams
i wanna use the stage 1 VT's
|
RE: tune for cams
mm stage 1s, just got mine in, very happy
|
RE: tune for cams
you will be safe with VT st 1's, just line up the timing marks properly and don't skip a tooth. You should still degree them but i haven't seen anyone have PTV with them that didn't mess up the install. You can also get away with not getting a tune imediately with them. I know someone who installed them then drove 400 miles to his tuner and ran good.
