crane makes cams for the 2.4L PT cruiser engine which should work on the SRT-4.... the one that that has their "split duration" goes from 1500-6800 RPMs, now does that mean that your engine basically idle's at 1500 RPM... and if so... wouldn't that make it alot harder to stall? :?:

No, that number range is just where the cam is designed to make its power. At least I think so, some one will correct me if im wrong.

I was looking at there site. Looks promising. The General was correct.

 

[mdhavi18]

oh, ok..... i thought that it was actually changing the rpm where you engine would idle at..... because i thought i remember some first generation neon owners saying they replaced their cams and their idle was rougher because it was idling at a higher RPM. :roll:

1st gen

Rougher, yes, since they were using bigger cams.
But if they were idling higher, it was caused by something other than new cams.

 

[mdhavi18]

ahhhhh, i see :idea:

Now compare the specs on those Crane forced induction cams to the specs on these Crower stage two (forced induction cam):

This is not unusual for cam lifts like this requires an higher idle postioning on the TB. On the current Swift GT, prior Turbo car, idles around 1250 RPM for a smooth idle while clutch is engaged or netrual gearing. Anything less than that you will noticed a real rough idling. It better for the car to launch at a lower gear. The top end stock cams and lifters were good for 8400RPM from the factory before modding.

Don't worry about the idle...

Getting the crane cams, springs and retainers here this week. I'll install them n let u guys know how they are.

 

[mdhavi18]

yeah, definately keep us posted! 8)

 

[NeonDan]

Crane is not new to the 2.4 world so im sure they'll have plenty to contribute

It must be nice not to need the warranty. 8)

why did you waste money on the retainers? no cam gears? crane 14's I'd assume

$20k RU is not that much for someone to call the car their beater obviously :roll: :? :lol:
