Well i scored a set of 4 82 stamped esp wheels And i'm talking to Ben the legend from Global Trim to line up a new set of caps and some paint to make em perty too.

I'm in the middle of building an au vct motor. They adjust 6 degrees from memory. It'll have a BW 66mm turbo. I'll let you guys know how that goes. Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk

That's why every car built today has VCT. Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk

I had one on my xh it had an ea cam so it wasn't stock but still a factory cam playing around with it on the dyno ended up with it 2 degrees retarded as the area under the curve wasn't reduced but it gained 8 kw at the tyres 3 degrees started to loose bottom end torque

Depends what motor valvey, if you dont have a dizzy its the only 'physical' way to adjust timing without computer getting involved. I have been told that the sohc 4L is only good for 2 degrees on the dizzy anyway in stock form. Mines standard. Unknown how far is too far on a barra. Gotta be careful.. Only exception was the VCT AU. That can adjust its own valve to cam timing in higher rpm. Jack. Sent from my GT-S7583T using Tapatalk

Welcome! An XD one will fit. They are the same bumper on the XD, ZJ and ZK. Any pictures for us? Ought to start a thread, I love Fairlanes.

Has anyone experimented with an adjustable cam gear on a standard cam? Were there any gains from advancing or retarding it? I'm guessing there would be gains and losses at certain rpm points but I'm curious across a decent range of rpm.

As previously stated Dave, they aren't necessary and I'll do the job properly so the head doesn't have to come off again. If decent bolts were good enough for ford the get over 300kw out of a Barra and last 700,000km in a taxi then revised well made bolts are good enough for my ute. What kind of company that has 2 subsidiaries, one that can make bolts and one that attempts to? No thanks, I'll stick with blackxt suggestion for mace engineering, the more people I ask the better they sound.

Yea fair enough, cams already in the head and the way i see it im not really worried where it makes boost ect with such a light car it would still be fun to drive with out turbo haha.. but yea donno just gotta focus on an engine.. looks like i might just build one.

Im not sure tbh! I brought the cam kit about 6 or 7 years ago. As for its performance while being boosted i dont know either. Ive heard they work well together but i guess its up to the tuner to make it all work in the end? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Those bolts look good
