Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
Before you do anything, I would RUN your setup as you have it and see for yourself what it does. We don't have enough information about either the KG7 OR the S/T5 to know what they're going to do in your engine. Judging by KG's website, the KG7 is likely going to be pretty decent and maybe do somewhere around 200hp with the right accomodations.Well.. That's a shame. The KG7, On the few specs we've got seems kind of equal to the T5 except from the wider LSA in which you've had it ground. Really starting to doubt my cam choice now, Being cheap seems to bite me in the balls again.
You have the KL cam, you should run it! It's easy enough to swap out the cam later once you've verified this setup isn't good enough for you. With your ITBs, this KL Racing cam should be enough to get 190hp according to my chats with Erland about it. It may or may not do more, but you need to put it in and find out for us.KG7 Suitable for street and rally.
Requires Step 2 cylinder head or larger
and 2x45 or 2x48.
LIFT 12 @ 0-clerance
NOCK ANGLE 105?
DURATION IN 304?
KG8 Best camshaft for the rally and street car i.e. if you want to combine easy driving and good torque.
Power output up to about 240Hk.
LIFT 12,8 @ 0-clerance
NOCK ANGLE 104?
DURATION IN 315?
That's some serious business and what I thought was more agressive than you're looking for. Ideally, more lift and less duration will give you a wider, more usable powerband. Like, the ENEM C2 that we're using, for example. Or an AGAP camshaft of similar specification(or larger). The C2 is likely good for 210hp+ depending on the rest of the setup. As I mentioned somewhere else, the C2 is good for 20hp more over the S/T5 according to Erland. The C2 and some AGAP cams you can still run on the stock lifters/buckets.Forged raw material comb of the highest quality with specifications that pull at the top of the register and deliver a lot of hp. Not so lofty but a brutal duration. Estimated on a 2.3L Volvo 8v is close to 250 hp if everything is optimal (ref RO engine).
Lift: 12.4 mm
Duration: 330 degrees (282 degrees at 1.27 lift)
Cam angle: 105 ?
TDC: 5.7 mm
Base circle: intake 35.5mm, exhaust 36.2mm
Valve clearance: 0.30-0.35.
Manifold groove: Yes
Requires steel presses and other valve springs.
The comb is made of steel and requires extra zinc in the oil if it is to be used in a street car.
NOTE!
The camshaft is very picky when it comes to manifolds and associated parts in the engine. The manifold must have a short secondary pipe, otherwise it starts to pulsate and collide, which means that you lose a lot of hp. To get the effect mentioned, everything must be optimal, which means 50 mm DCOE carburetor, minimum 46/38 mm valves, 531 top, high comp, etc.
That would fix our problem! Any idea how thick it is? Shipping from the usa would be more than the washer so i'll just make one myself
I could probably figure something out given I'd source axle and a strut, I don't own a 240 currently
The parking brake mechanism is in a different place entirely, so some intensive redesign would be required. Although with all involved you'd probably be out less that a v70r setup
And guess what, The cam gear spacer solved my issue. Progress isn't fast but it would be doable to start her up for the first time this month!
