Deano 1 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 Suggestions on performance cam and where to get one or have one made. I have a 2.7i with 11:1CR eta pistons and 885 head. The compression is high 210psi and want to bleed of compression with a cam with overlap. There is a bit of detonation occuring...not too bad but with an agressive cam it will hopefully stop detonation a give it some extra power in the upper RPM.

tibbs.james 1 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 I don't see how changing cams is the solution to detonation. There are many other factors that could be looked at before switching out cams. would it not be better to get it running right first and then consider a different cam ? Detonation as you know will eventually destroy a HG or burn a hole in a piston or something. Somebody else is bound to ask for more information like what type of fuel you are running and has the ECU been tuned for the current combination, is the ignition timing too far advanced? I'm no expert on anything much but a high compression engine needs to be running good fuel and have a decent tune as well as being in good serviced condition. ( common sense ) Otherwise Kelford Cams did a great Job doing a custom one off Grind for My boosted Datsun. Good luck getting it sorted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 your ecu will need a remap to get that right . or try a ecu from a e34 530i or e32 730i m30 engine same pin set up but tunned for a 3L engine of similer power. read this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried a copy of an Alpina chip..helped but not eliminate the detonation..I know the ECU remap is the way to go..anyone in Chch do the motronic tune?
