term "overcamming" depicts a scenario where the combination of cam duration and overlap is too big for an engine and WILL lose power over a significant range versus a marginal gain maybe up top, in the case of Toda Cs having power up high and on a 10:4:1 static CR motor, for all you know the dynamic CR is probably 7 or 8:1.Quote:

Theres a reason Toda Cs are marketed as a full build race cam only.. i have no idea who suggested for you to get them on a stock block/head as bigger is not better when it comes to NA modifications.
***EDIT***
have a look at this thread, Adrian actually posted the powerband of a customers car along with setup for Toda Cs in Post#16:thumbsup:

personally if i had the money for a full build i'd probably do Toda Cs too and make the most of the top end.. kinda no point scavenging for bottom end on a motor with a bore vs stroke ratio not designed for it. but because i'm on a budget and i am opening the engine up anyway, the performance cams of choice are a 'may as well' thing :)
i no how compression ratios work...
heres where your wrong.... toda spec c's versus stock cams on my motor... the toda spec c's gained power everywhere.... wasnt worse at any bit of the rpm range.... 25kw peak power gain might i add
my engine idle? idles perfect mate very steady nicely tuned idles at 900rpms smoothly
toda spec c's arent a race only cam... the toda spec d's are... toda spec c's are unbelieveably streetable... if you drive my car you will know it has more torque then a b18c. i chose not to port my head so the car is still very streetable and it didnt loose any low down power... so in this case i think it was the right thing to do
i think adrian from toda is more educated on this stuff then you are youve never had spec c's in your car so you dnt know how they behave so what makes you think it was a stupid decision?
You owned that Black Delsol ey?
Yeh me and my mate was watching that night when you ran 15's all day long... Your burn-outs on the rev limiter was good.. dont see how you were gettin 2.8 60fters
I also heard that the car was cammed up with some headwork... my first impression was its a poor effort with that much work done to it.. stock EK4's are doing flat 15's
i ran toda c2 on my stock itr bottomend and tuned all i can say it, that it ran worse and less power then a stock itr cam...dont know how u made the power with the 10 cr....the response was shit
i agree with the above 2. i do have experience with big duration cams on toyotas and nissans and know the effects, however thats irrelevant as simple physics contradict what you say and we all already know what effects big duration has on an engine despite the advantage of vtec.
sooo... my question is since this is already off topic... despite your many mentions of Adrian/Toda.. he had nothing to do with your car did he? coz i do agree that mr Toda would know about these a lot more than us therefore i'd actually like full details of your car from him if he did...
oh.. and who was your tuner?

some of you still insist that my car ran worse and does not run how it should... please swing by my house so i can take you for a drive n well see what you think...
can i seriously volunteer?Quote:

$1000 for 25kw is a absolute bargain. who needs turbo
