1zz crower stage 1 are they worth it ?

[dkmusic]

hi i have a 1zz mr2  with full exhaust decatted - ppe style intake ( Hurricane induction system)  - dastek( type c ) and wondering for the next step ....
crower stage 1  and fidanza flywheel  or  c60 transmition ?

According to Monkeywrench Racing you would be better off with the stage 2, the stage 1 is specifically designed for standard engines with the standard ECU. Plenty of reports on Spyderchat say these cams do add some power, whether it's worth £500 is up to you?

They certainly didn't work with the PPE exhaust manifold.

Bernie is running stg1 cams with standalone ecu, cone intake, zero mani and 200 cell cat. Runs a dream apparently. 171 claimed hp. I'd be happy going stg1 with those numbers.

Not "claimed" have dyno to substantiate  :-) :-) :-)  !

I have a similar setup with Apexi PFC management, and tried with a PPE manifold and sports cat midpipe, and as with Chris, it wasn't at all good with the ppe exhaust components on mine. Now, with a Che manifold and decat midpipe, much better.

Funny. What makes the PPE so incompatible with the stg1? Is it the long equal runners and relatively thin pipes? Vs the wider and shorter Zero

Bernie; I always pre-empt dyno results with "claimed". The peak figures mean very little to me. Only the delta between pre and post tune/mods on the same day or very similar conditions  s:) s:)

[ChrisGB]

Given that the PPE is very specifically designed to optimise the top end, it probably runs less than optimal once the cam duration is changed.

i run 4-2-1 runners not ppe ...ppe style is my intake ...also i have the old type c dastec and i do not know if i can find anyone to set it up for the  cams i  wish to put in the cams without change anything else  s:) s:)

bernie  have you measure your 0-60 times ?   i have dyno 133 wheel power does that 8-10 hp make a difference in acceleration ?  you have the stock euro 5 speed trans ?

Never measured 0 -60 times but it goes well  :-) :-) :-)  after 3,000 rpm just pulls hard right up to the rev limiter and as mines FL has stock 6 speed box, also TRD short shifter, Speedsource brass cable / gearbox link connection and Wildermullers Bigfoot cage mounts, since I purchased have also added Fidanza lightweight flywheel which helps with initial pick up

[dkmusic]

i have find used crower stage 1 and a fidanza flywheel ...also wana put the short transmision c60 etc or 4.3   4.5 final drive

Nice body kit  :-) :-) :-)

Your PPE style inlet looks very similar to the real thing

[dkmusic]

it is the hurrikane intake for lotus but it has bigger diameter hoses ....i dont know if this is good or bad ...also o havent decide if it is better duckted to side scoop or without ducts  s:) s:)

[loadswine]

I have the Hurricane intake on my car, but i want to do some comparison testing on mine, before i sell the car, later in the year.

[dkmusic]

i have cut the inside flares .....better response without the flares and duct  but better highs with duct in

 s:) s:)    waiting
