» CMF Memberfor the piper cams do you need an upgraded ecu for them to be benificial or not

if your on gas, there are 3 means of gasflow adjustment
these cams are,nt very wild btw, i,m a bit disapointed with the timings, they are "supposed" to be 30 62 62 30

I think that a wild cam isn't going to give you much improvement over a moderate cam because the valve size is the limiting factor in a NA Micra. I've just changed from a wild 300 degree duration one to a 264 degree one and have seen an improvement in top and bottom end with no loss in the mid-range. Go figure.

» CMF Memberwhat lift were both cams?
CMF_Nissanmania
» CMF MemberBoth were within a tenth of a mm or so of each other at around 9mm - I would need to look it up to be precise, the 300 degree one with slightly more lift.

» CMF Memberdo you know how big in the lift you can go before you have to machine the head? would 10mm be out of the question... i know aspect do make some 10mm lift cams, whether you have to modify stuff i don't know..

with the piper (9mm lift) there is about 2 1/2mm more lift before the stock springs get coilbound

» CMF Memberso 10mm should be ok then..?

» CMF Memberturbo
yes that would leave about 1.5mm of give, but would probably coilbind a stronger spring tho eh

» CMF Memberi have no idea bout what you guys on about LOL what is the best cam for a NA micra with a filter and exhaust for street and some race use. But mind you gets driven hard on the street. Can upgrade ecu if needed.

1.3 cams are well worth putting in a 1.0
if you,ve got a 1.3 then go for the ultimate regrind (but you have to put ground down shims under the buckets for them)
as for new cams, i have never tried any so can,t advise !

» CMF Memberoh ok cool thanks for that. The ultimate regrinds are they the piper ones. Do you need to put an aftermerket ECU in to run them or is it find without it, I wanna put the ga15 TB and Injectors in with the cam but not sure if it will be worth doing it. Also a light weight flywheel

the piper cams are ok with a stock ecu, but i daresay a remap will would extract some more power
an a/f/r guage or multimeter wired to the lambda is useful to show whether the injectors are maxing out on high revs

» CMF Memberok cheers mate i going to use the ga15 injectors and TB so not sure i will get it all done at High Tech Tuning in Darwin so it will be done on a dyno... Hopefully get some ponies. Who can remap the stock ECU
