question, which cam should I buy for my stroked 2.7 engine? Head slightly ported, 6/2/1 exhaust manifold, adjustable pulley, intake manifold 2.5 ported everything on motronic, RPM lift to 7200.

Which is an allround good cam? dbilas/schrick are very cheap, around 350 eur, but I dont know which to buy.

288
304
284/272

Nice pictures by the way.

My choice is the camshaft of Catcams 285/285
Building with m20b27 with motronic etc.

thanks, I decided also after reading and googling for that cam.

I have to see which pistons are in the eta engine on that depends the compression rate, I hope that I'll get close to the 10:1 compression with the eta crank and rods.

exactly, the same with the intake manifold and airbox (I have the first metal one). Last year was nice under the hood, this year it will be perfect :thumbsup

thanks mate, as I got the inspiration and some ideas here on the forum, thats why i want to share my knowledge now with others and help them with some cheap and good looking mods. Its a help me - help you forum and hopefully it stays so in the future.

now to the engine mods

M20B25 inlet manifold with a lot of junk inside
Image
Image

some magical cleaner
Image

later i did some power washing and additional steelwool cleaning

we do a bit of breathing exercises for the new stroked engine
Image
Image

after the break, some more grinding :popcorn

I'm looking for a M30 throttle body or a M52, any hints what is better? I'd put on ITB's but moneywise its a no-go until the engine is done and running.
