Does anyone know of any good places to buy a turbo grind cam for an L20B thesedays? Have yet to email places like: Tighe cams, Wade Cams or Crow or Crane cams etc. Thought id check here first and see if anyone knew of any specs/prices etc. cheers, Nick. |

Let me know what you find out - I'll be after one for my supercharged L18 eventually. |

Not on my priority list atm but I am going to start soon by listing the stock L20B cam specs and then start contacting cam manufacturers/regrinders etc and list what they recommend and theyre specs and decide from there. The standard cam actually does a nice job atm and power is very linear even with 20psi. I just couldnt help but wonder if it was possible get a bit more power with a custom cam that had more lift and less overlap etc. If anyone has any L-series cam specs (std or turbo) they can list down in the meantime by all means post it up! |

Nisspro have found that they are getting better power figures with the Z18ET in Morrow's 1600 using the standard Z18ET camshaft. Especially using newer ball bearing turbo's. |

Well, i rang Tighe cams but they had packed up for the week. I rang Nizpro for the hell of it, the guy who answered the phone wasnt really sure what an L20B was! Neville from 'Wade Cams' called me back and recommended their 733a cam to suit street turbo setups. He said an all out race setup would be different. He advised me the 733a cam had 35thou more lift and 25deg more duration than the standard cam. Cost of regrinding my cam was $102 'retail' plus postage etc. Wade 733a specs: lobe lift IN and EXH = .320, Timing Ad Open Close = (EX)65-25, (IN)25-65, Duration @ .050 = 220, valve lift = .484, lobe Sep = 110, Smooth idle good torque 2000-5500rpm. http://www.wadecams.com/ The lift sounds good but do i need 25deg more duration??? |

I have the 733a in my setup - drawthrough on 10psi. It seems to go good although i've nothing to compare it to. When I bought this cam it was for a high comp twin su setup and i just kept it for the draw through. I would have thought that there would be a specific turbo grind out there somewhere. |

Nick, The lift & intake timing is ok.Neville from 'Wade Cams' called me back and recommended their 733a cam to suit street turbo setups. He said an all out race setup would be different. He advised me the 733a cam had 35thou more lift and 25deg more duration than the standard cam. Cost of regrinding my cam was $102 'retail' plus postage etc. Wade 733a specs: lobe lift IN and EXH = .320, Timing Ad Open Close = (EX)65-25, (IN)25-65, Duration @ .050 = 220, valve lift = .484, lobe Sep = 110, Smooth idle good torque 2000-5500rpm. http://www.wadecams.com/ The lift sounds good but do I need 25deg more duration??? Use std exhaust timing with the higher lift. 15-54 to make it easy 25-65-55-15 They have done this grind. |

Supercharge cams are exactly the same as NA cams.But given a std L20B cam ie max torque 4000 rpm max HP 6000 RPM with a supercharged engine this would then be (Approx) max torque 3600 RPM Max HP 6600 RPM. Works (wade) 72 is the go. Heaps of torque & lift off @ 4000 7600 plus RPM with grunt. |

Rob Wards skyline turbo, would not make full boost in first & second. Came up to full boost only in third. I changed the valve timing just 4 degrees. Full boost in all gears & much better throttle response. What follows is Racer Browns comments on turbo L series. Most Yanks racing today lament his passing as he was the master of L camshafts. Enter the turbocharger The nature of this exhaust-driven supercharger requires a different approach, but not without reasons attached. Normally, effective intake duration can remain about the same as in an unsupercharged engine. If a change is indicated, it will usually be in the direction of later intake valve opening and sometimes later intake valve closing. The biggest change, and one that is relatively enormous, lies in the required effective exhaust valve duration. This should be short, SHORT, S-H-O-R-T! Even a double-throw-down, triple-whammy, flat-out turbocharged race engine for the turbocharger to work most efficiently - should have an effective exhaust valve duration of no more than the mid-270 degree range, very little overlap and as much valve lift as can be conveniently cranked into it, taking the dynamic stability of the exhaust cam lobe at maximum engine speed into consideration. Didn't know that, didja? Remember: A turbocharger works best as a function of the temperature and velocity of the exhaust gases, and the volume of exhaust gases is secondary. This strongly suggests late exhaust valve opening and early exhaust valve closing so that exhaust gases, in their purest form, can work on the turbo impeller, which is directly connected by the same shaft to the compressor impeller. This doesn't indicate that a turbocharged engine won't function with stock camshafts or those with a relatively long effective exhaust valve durations. It will. But longer exhaust valve durations have drastic effects on the average exhaust gas velocity and temperature. In addition, longer valve overlap periods permit fuel from the pressurised induction system to be pumped out the still-open exhaust valve, lowering exhaust gas temperature and density even further. This is the primary reason why most stock-but-turbocharged engines feel like you've stepped on a wet sponge at low engine speeds; they're just plain soggy until there is enough of a blast of exhaust gases to wake up the turbo impeller which, in turn, wakes up the compressor impeller. So, for a moderately-turbocharged L-series Datsun road vehicle, effective exhaust valve durations should be in the low to mid-220 degree range and possibly a later opening intake valve. If you don't think this will put some instant muscle in your Datsun, try it. |
