Booked for cam & few other goodies @ Chipmaster [Archive]

Well bit the bullet & decided its time for a cam change, udp, obviously tune for the cam change and get my brand new HSV 3.7 complete diff that i got recently from Titanium :bow: for a very very good price put in too!

and what better time to do it but while i am in melb for the week visiting the VIC boys that way i am not without a car :yahoo:

never had a cammed V8 or even a modifed V8 so all this stuff is all new so cant wait....:woohoo:

so far car has following performance mods:
Pacemakers 4into1 1 3/4" HPC coated
high flow 3" cats
Dual 3" to dual 2.5" rear section Stainless Steel custom APC exhaust
OTR
Chipmaster Mafless Tune

Current power was 268rwkw on the Chipmaster dyno with no temperature correction a couple of weeks back on a 33degree day

The cam selected will be the Comp Cams custom grind by John @ SQP
224/228 112LSA
no idea on lifts but whatever they are trust John and his many years bulding engines, etc
valve springs, udp, etc
engine will be removed for cam job as opposed to doing it in the car...personal preference by both myself and Dan

wont be a huge rwkw gain but will provide awesome low to mid range torque which is what i am after.
probably be around 300rwkw give or take but not concerned about the top end figure...the torque is where its at :burnout:

so excited and cant wait. :yahoo: :woohoo:

engine will be removed for cam job as opposed to doing it in the car...personal preference by both myself and Dan

can i ask why this is? i was always under the impression that once the rad, condensor and bumper is off it just pulls out straight through the front? what are the benefits of pulling the motor out when it requires so much more work...

well not a fan of pulling off front bar and lining it up again and bending air con and condenser pipes

yeah it will cost a few extra hours in labour to remove and replace engine but no pipes bent, squashed etc
also makes the job alot easier with engine out

also something about getting sump off too i think....dont completely understand it but its just a personal preference i have and Dan agrees

I don't understand either it's a straight forward job really. Front bar doesn't need to be touched, just radiator out and swing the condensor to slip the cam past. I helped Willem strip mine down including the heads in a few hours without any problems at all.
Unless your getting a double row chain then the sump needs to come off to do it properly.

It will make more than 300 rwkw. :bravo:

cheers

30-01-2008, 11:54 PM

Dan..thats a great idea :idea:...might have to speak to John about that :evil:

not sure why SS Enforcer...

yeah maybe Dan is being conservative with his figure...

Jeez Dean you aren't mucking around! Look forward to hearing how it all goes. Are you tempted to do the clutch at the same time? I heard that SQP were trialling something that maybe of interest?? I have had a similar conversation with Dan but mainly for a clutch upgrade. Is there a reason for swapping out the whole diff and not just the gears?
At this rate I'm sure you'll be happy with the power forrrrr...oh lets see.....easy another 3 months before some FI eh Dean?? :nyuk:hey Don...nah why muck around for :lol:
money is just earnt after u spend it :lmao: well i dont have any commitments so i can look at it that way
and dan did me a good deal with some things we sorted out between each other so it was too tempting to say NO....and with being away in melb for a week gives him chance to do it all without me not having car so i couldnt say yes quick enough

i have discussed clutches with dan and john and we arent changing it yet as there still is hydralic issues with the VE clutch...
and yes i know about SQP trialling...known about it from day one :up2sum:
we even been playing with my current clutch to resolve the sticking to the floor issue etc

reason for the whole diff...CHEAPER
WA Diff Centre want $1800+ to change the crown and pinion to the HSV 3.7one to change the ratio
I got the whole diff at cost price...$1430 brand new through a friend...plus labour still cheaper than the WA Diff option and i have my 3.45 diff to sell or keep as spare but in this case is already sold :evil:

nah after this my rims should be here...some brakes...the G8 lip spoiler is painted and ready...have some exterior plans...and then thats it till it runs out of novated lease....then stroke and FI :evil::burnout:
or i get a missus, house etc and all the plans go down the toilet :lmao:

no the std clutch wont hold it above 5200 rpm , looking good up till that point though :) , we thought this may be a issue but until a proper clutch solution can be found there was no point thowing money away on it.

Looks like we are going to have to create a solution for Dean though rather than wait for the clutch manufacturers to fix the issues.

I guess it was inevitable. Are there really no options worth while on the market Dan? I have had some of the VE clutch issues explained but they sounded minor and not impossible to overcome??
As you know, I'm keen to do similar mods but the clutch is really the weak point now.

Not so much the clutch completely but the hydraulics as well, working on a solution and we will see how it goes.

There is no problem that cant be overcome - its just a issue of time and money , both rare and hard to find commodity's

HSV is the poor cousin once you start doing mods , the L98 has so much more potential than the LS2 of the HSV. the advantage of the HSV is the brakes and interior , other than that in my opinion it is a waste of $$$$ for a name.

Dan was nice enough to let me pickup my car from the workshop after i arrived in perth even tho he was closed.

all i can say is :drool::bow::woohoo::driving::D

even tho its still not complete as such as we will be sorting out the clutch and the notorious VE Hydralic issue in the next week or two with John @ SQP and also when clutch goes in new diff goes in....the car is awesome

it drives like normal...but with the obvious more power.
when slowing down to a stop it doesnt surge and try and get idle, etc...just comes to normal stop and then the lump kicks in on idle
doesnt feel like its gonna stall like some cammed cars i have been in
also crawling with clutch off in first or second in car parks is like normal...no surging,etc like i have seen and felt on other VE and non VE cars

and on idle it has the nice lump from both inside and outside the car...nothing too over the top but at the traffic lights yesterday and today ppl were getting whiplash trying to figure out what it was and where it was coming from

taking off is no different to normal...no extra revs or slip required
and it just pulls hard from down low...even in higher gears

evidence of what a good tune can be like on a cammed car

i cant wait for the clutch and diff to go in so i can push it to the limiter so i can get to the Shitting in the Seat of the pants :lmao:

Big thanks to John @ SQP for his efforts and producing a LOVELY custom grind Comp Cam :drool: :bravo:
and obviously big thanks to Dan but many more hours of work to finish EXCESSV off

the whole setup is great...it revs alot freer and quicker...gets to the 5000rpm slip real quick in second
i am amazed how quick the revs and speed get up and how smooth...i swear the vibration i had is gone :confused:

The car is coming along really nicely mate. A very complete car

Once the clutch is fixed should be interesting to see the power out putcheers mate.
once all this work is done its rims and brakes and thats it for a long time

power wise should be around 300rwkw....but the cam was chosen for its low to mid range torque which is what i want so the torque figure interests me more than the rwkw :D

EXCESSV

20-02-2008, 10:19 PM

Picked car up today and very very happy with it :yahoo:
Cam & clutch done now....diff gears next week or week after as i just got the diff back from WA Suspensions after taking it to them yesterday to take stock bushes out and put anti axle tramp ones on :D

will post dyno sheet tomorrow as i dont have scanner here but went from:
268rwkw to 306rwkw :yahoo:
now has 540Nm of torque :burnout:

AT & IT as u will see on graph are both 20...definately wasnt that cool today
dan choses not to use the temp correction etc so the figure is conservative compared to but i am more than happy as monster torque is what i wanted and being over 300rwkw is a bonus

dont need a dyno figure to make me happy about the package

it holds the power all the way to 6200rpm now
at 2500rpm it produces same power as before cam and then starts shooting up and up
torque kicks off higher than pre cam from 2350rpm and peaks at 4250rpm and is a nice flat line till 5400rpm and is more than pre cam all the way till redline

all will be better seen on dyno graph when i post it tomorrow

the idle sound is insane...love it and definately ppl turn heads and think "WTF is in that" :lol:

clutch is definately interesting...just take me some time to get used to it and bed it in

Maybe mate, but if we run down the quarter side by side all Id see is tail lights. Still I love what I have but its spent out till the next ride. No more mods for this ute (maybe the odd little one). It gets me dreaming of newer, bigger and badder :evil:.

What clutch did you go for and how does it feel??clutch is a SQP custom clutch...first time its been used on a cammed VE as far as i know

it bites hard so still getting used to it plus a few kms to bed in too should improve it a bit more

its the first performance clutch i have ever used so its all new to me...but the pedal feel is a little firmer and more springy if u know what i mean but i like it...

If you set your car up with rubber it will be side by side mate trust me...

You can't beat to sound of a blower either, just gotta get my 3.9's back and its time to have some serious fun at the strip....

Definately not the prob...
Aircon's on the VE from memory don't have a clutch and they are constantly running...
We have changed belts which should solve the prob...
And it was throwing the belt before the clutch was done ie when it hit 5g it would slip majorly and hit the limiter, which generally causes the tensioner to slacken then tighten again which throws the belt same scenario as some blowers which throw belts..

Most VE's are having the same issue when reved quickly , Walkinshaw performance currently have a car under test trying to solve the issue , as do a few other companies , the VE is a completely different design and the top idler that stabalised it all has also been dropped to save weight or $$
