Tricky-Ricky Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 OK i know the FMIC is going to be at least double the price, but which do you think would give more benefit for the money, to a BPU+++ car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 FMIC, cam pulleys do very little. Experimenting completed a fair while ago by some of the forum tech types showed the best possible settings were stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Do you have a link to this Rob as i feel that there is actually quite abit to gain in the mid range and not ruin the top end with aftermarket cams pulleys when non stock cams are used.

mikeyb10supra Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I noticed a real difference after fitting my FMIC + if its replacing a knackered stocker its got to be money better spent surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I think it depends what your current IC is like, if it's knackered then a new IC should give you nice gains at the top end (it make a significant difference on mine at 25rwhp). If you have stock cams then from what I've read the cam pulleys are pointless, aftermarket cams and it might be a different story, though Terry Saunders had found there was no benefit to adjusting them. I'm 90% certain this was found after the purple monster engine was mapped on an engine dyno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 I have actually got just one adjustable pulley on my exhaust cam, which is run at about 8-10 deg advanced, although i can't really say i notice any difference via ass dyno, on my last RR which was aborted due to det i did make 390 ft lbs of torque at just 5,000 RPM, The FMIC i am uncertain about as my std one is in VGC, and there are very mixed views on this.
