Camshaft specs... The next project!
- Thread starter Marthy
- Start date
Ladies and Gentleman's..... the cams are finally in!!! What amaze me the most, after 20 000 miles and a cams swap, my intake valves clearance are within .007 to .008 and exhaust are .011 to .013. A little strong on the exhaust side, but I'll leave it like that for now.
Gotta get few "real numbers" now. Piston to valve clearance are
I: 0.075 and E: .085
I kind of end up using the existing holes... a set of them. (3 sets at different angles, thanks Yammy!)
Can't wait to fire it up...

Well... The beast has started! Definitely sound different. I'll finish it tomorrow... need new plugs.
Cleaning time now. End up using stock timing mark... The numbers I get are exactly what I found online for a 2007 stock R6??? Hope I can make it all happen before 12K...

You tease , you know we want to know more .
Hope all goes well with first ride , or first stationary spin of gears .
Did you stay with stock TB ?
I'd love to hear this in person for the non-believers on the board, but i'm very intrigued myself. I'm used to 4 cylinder cars, so this is a bit different for me, but not much. I'm not the best with cams, but turbo projects, aren't as hard as NA setups, so you've caught my attention, either way I'm interested I can't wait to see this locally, hopefully not while I'm in my cager though.

Awesome glad it worked out if all goes well on the deals gap ride later this year I can't wait to see it in person as well....next step r6 custom grind cams for drag racing? Oh wow
WOW! Congrats on getting to keep your engine on a first try! I am very excited to see some dyno numbers and see what a proper tune will yield. Are you planning to take bikes with a fistfull of cash and do the conversions?
You really should just open a shop. Get a dyno, and go open up a small shop.

Congrats Marthy! You persevered, worked really hard and won. You can tell by the amount of response from everyone here that the excitement is almost as high as the space shuttle taking off. The engine sounded really healthy. We're all eager to hear what the butt dyno says. Best regards and well done Marthy! My gosh what we have to do to get an R6!

Wow that sounds great. Good job. You're the man Marthy! :thumbup:
Thanks everyone. The bike is all back together now... spark plugs and oil & filter change include! Can't wait to take it for a spin! I'll need to hold my self back a bit until the map is all set. That's the hard part. You guys should hear that when it actually "hit the cams" 
:drool:

Good job Marthy .
Dyno numbers . Power curve , horsepower output , torque , those are the questions .

Well, first impression... I started with Avgear RebB and it went good but felt like the bike was running fat a bit. I loaded the zero map for a quick spin around the block and much better! I'll do few phone call around... I might just get it done on the dyno this time. I'll give it few days... so far so good.
idle to 4K feel like it pull like a BMX then 4-8K is better than stock. Over 8K need more tuning... I'll get there.

After you get it tuned and get dyno results, send me the dyno run file (not an image of the dyno chart) and I'll simulate some comparisons between stock and your modded bike: 0-60mph, 0-100mph, 1/4 mile, 60-80 top gear acceleration, etc
Then the challenge will be for you to match the simulated 1/4 mile results

Sure, I will. Always like to race computer... lolAfter you get it tuned and get dyno results, send me the dyno run file (not an image of the dyno chart) and I'll simulate some comparisons between stock and your modded bike: 0-60mph, 0-100mph, 1/4 mile, 60-80 top gear acceleration, etc

Look like I might make more HP with less fuel...? I'll do research over the weekend to find a good dyno/tuner guy in the area...
For the stock FZ6 its fat. After a good tune, "leaning" it picks up about 5 to 7 on top, and about 8 in the mid-range.Sure, I will. Always like to race computer... lol
