turbo cam?

[macdeb]

As title, 'if' one were to fit a single turbo to a 450 with forged pistons giving around 9.0:1 [yet to be confirmed] what would be the best cam to fit?
PS; have ported bv heads and manifold and flared trumpet base/large throttle/mappable ignition and spark/uprated clutch, blah, blah.

I thought the MC1 cam did the trick ! You need to get rid of the Piper 285 !

Yeah yeah righto we all know what that really say's is 'when one fits...'

Mac, I had a small moment yesterday which has caused me to rethink my power requirements What sort of torque/power are you thinking about with your if/maybe/when turbo install???

So, do you mean you have enough or not enough power?

[Chilliman]

Not enough. Possibly. Don't want to hijack Mac's thread, but a few extra bhp here and there won't cut it (apart from costing frighteningly large amounts of money for relatively small gains).

Dunno, just thinking at the moment, probably a bit like Mac

Hiya mate not looking for crazy power 'if' I do, but approaching 400 would be nice. I have some low comp' forged pistons, but my heads are skimmed so I really need to work out exact comp' ratio first, then choose suitable cam, etc.

faster or just awesome handling??

I suppose this means your clive f decat Y piece that you have only recently fitted could be for sale then dude?? Get it in classifieds someone will jump on that!

[Mr Supercharged]

Why don't you look on the Real Steel website. They specifically grind a cam for forced induction. What you are looking for is minimum overlap between the exhaust and inlet lobes so that you aren't simply pumping your compressed air out through the exhaust. I will be trying one of these cams sometime soon.

Cheers bloke, I'll have a look.

[macdeb]

Any more ideas, or ???. Any thoughts on standard cam that come swith a 450? TVR 435 or summat?

[SILICONEKID343HP]

Do you need forged pistons or could you get away with just fitting thicker head gaskets.

When replacing the pistons do you fit new rings ?

[rigga]

What cam does Eann Whalley says works ok with his bolt on Turbo kit? And what boost does it run at ?
