Erm... For me, I think adjustable pulley is not v good for everyday car la... Because by just advancing/retarding the timing, there is little power gain. Got la.. But not so much... The obvious effect is the shifting of the powerband. This is because earlier opening or valves also result in earlier closing. The lift, duration and overlap is unchanged. Thus power gain is minimal and the main function is shifting the powerband, either higher up the rpm range or lower. Why not save up and get camshaft?
good one . usually which cam profile better ?
272/272 or 270/260
heard 270/260 timing idle better , any comment ?
hmm now i am confusing for Exhaust Cam..
dont know whether should choose 272 , or 260 ...?
pro fren say exhaust 260 would stable for idle for air cond
another racer fren say choose 272 for exhaust , FOR Turbo engine ..
need more advice from pro ^^
mine is 4g93 gsr turbo ..
u mean dont go too much valve overlap .. means i should choose 260 or 270 for exhaust ?
haha , thank u

ooo.. finally i understand you
u suggest me take 270/260 .. ?
tq
Back to the adjustable cam pulley ..
the purpose of it is to adjust the timing to increase power at certain RPM.. not all the way from 1k - 10k..
eg.
15degree advance to increase power at 1k - 5k..
0 degree to increase power at 5k - 10k..
it also depends on what engine u use.. not all engine respond to the setting the same way.. because of their design..
and also if u use big cams such as 272/260, u must rev very high to achieve the desired horsepower.. NA tuned..
for turbo usually they use bigger turbo.. or twinturbo..
i suggest find a good tuner for ur engine & learn from them..
