Re: 3.0 24V - your suggestions

Hi Jim, Just want to check out the overlap on the cams that I've got. I seem to get low rpm Lambda code error as well as fueling error on all 6 cylinders on low rpms as well as idling. On the high end, there are no errors at all, but after a hard pull and the revs start to come down, the error pops ...

Re: 3.0 24V - your suggestions

Thanks 75evo.

From my readings, I understand that the 24v is good for 7600 on a factory balanced unit.
If its good enough, I could ask the tuner to raise the rev limit.

To get the cams tuned, I'd still need the adjustable sprockets like the one Jim showed.
Have to wait patiently till it gets done.

Re: 3.0 24V - your suggestions

Yep, the engine ECU is already set up for 7300 rpm. noting that there's a certain rpm I shouldn't cross unless I balance the pistons and the engine. I don't want to blow a piston or a crank. Its doing very decent power at the moment. but to get it to 320 hp, i think there's a lot more to be done tha...

Re: 3.0 24V - your suggestions

I've found that a friend of mine can set the cams up and also balance the V6 if necessary. Thing is, he doesn't have the customized sprockets to adjust the cams bit by bit.... So I would need a set from Jim once you're done with your experiment :) hopefully sooner rather than later cause in Singapor...

Re: 3.0 24V - your suggestions

Welcome Saabretooth! Nice to have you here. It gets really interesting. Following the advices and discussion I will ask Jim to help me with the cams and really tempted to buy the adjustable gears with that also. If I understood well there are Renault profiles and some even more performance focused ...

Re: 3.0 24V - your suggestions

I knew Jim would do that to me!!! He said he put "brown grease" on my GTA crank and cams for extra protection from rust, but it had a "strong smell". Caveat Emptor!! :mrgreen: BTW, sabretooth, it might be a good investment in a set of adjustable cam gear. It's not cheap at all, ...

Re: 3.0 24V - your suggestions

Hi guys, This is my first post and I'm glad to be reading up on most of the stuff here. I've got the car set up reasonably nicely, but not at max power of what the cams can offer as it was installed using standard cam locks. The workshop does not have the know how to use the other means to max it ou...
