1.8E engine tuning

[Matheus428]

Le-Jetronic be crazy with diferent cam. I try it in my car when is N/A, i was puted a 265 degrees cam, and my fuel injection was crazy.. because the diferent pulses goes do AFM(air flow meter).
If you ignore 70% of my tips here, put yours for we see..

I would like to know how can put high duration cam with Le-Jetronic N/A engine..

And Kadettek, you don't need use C20Let engine or C20Let parts for get turbo in your car. You can put a aftermarket turbo kitt in your engine. Like i did. Look my turbo kitt:


and i continuous using my Le-Jetronic system, without problems. Only work in my injectors for give 1050cc/minute flow(alcohol). And use a rising fuel pressure regulator.
My estimated power is more than 230bhp easy(with 1 bar of pressure, without intercooler, but running with alcohol). And is really driveable. Good MPG... In my opinion, is better and cheaper(compare Brazilian prices, i don't know about there) option for your case.
I paid only around 650 US Dollars for this turbo kitt.

i really don't know anymore what to do....i can get c20xe for 100 pounds (complete with computer)only done 20.000 km after rebild.....and has over 160hp.....but my registration wil go ups for anoother 100 pounds......
Do i have to change my fuel tank??or is ti enough to add bosch pump??

if you can get a c20xe for £100 and then it will cost you £100 extra to register it,that sounds like the cheapest way to me,sell your 1.8e and its cost even less and youl have 150bhp as standard and can tune from there.
This 4 page thread has been a complete waste of time if you can get a c20xe for £100,are you insane?

[Kadettek]

just one more question....which engine has higher duration of camshaft? 1.8E or c20ne?
Well the point is i got for fre one 2.0 l calibra engine.....so i need to know if i can use it's ECU (mototronic 2.5 i think)on 1.8E engine??with almost all the parts from 2.0.....and does anybody know exsact dimensions of walves from 1.8E and c2.0ne......

[Kadettek]

where could i find those data?

[dathers]

The haynes manual tells you all the different cam valve lifts and valve sizes,but they dont mention duration.
Maybe an engine specialist might know,try SBD or velos.
If you dont have haynes manuals over where you live my dad has an astra mk3 manual which may have that engine in it.
Is it an injection engine the 18E or carb?
