JUN Cams Tuning

Been driving for nearly two weeks following the installation of the cams without retuning of my existing UNICHIP piggyback. Car feels unresponsive at low revs and at times even jerky, although my butt feel tells me that there is a lot of potential that has yet to be released from the cams installation. Idling wise it was very stable to my surprise as I have held the thoughts that after cams installation the idling will be very unstable. 

After a long wait of  2 weeks, my tuner from Speed D finally managed to hook up a time slot at Dyno Technica to run the retuning. The chart before installation of the cams and the after-chart tuning with the cams have been attached below:

Overall there is a gain in peak HP from the initial 124HP to 144HP. In terms of peak torque there is neglible change from the original 174NM, although now from 4.2K RPM onwards the torque hovers between 155NM to 174NM, a vast difference as compared before tuning where after 4.2kRPM the torque starts to dip. This alters the optimum torque range of the car, giving it more mid to high end response, though with the sacrifice of low end power.

This is overall a good installation for those who goes on the track, where the optimum RPM band occurs past the 4k RPM. A satisfactory purchase indeed!

Cams Out Cams In (Part II - Installation)

Original decal that accompanies the cams
Finally I had the JUN cams installed just yesterday at Riverview Auto. It was an unexpectedly fast job as I think the mechanics there should be all zai liao, with all the rest of the Cams group buy customers rushing there for installation one week back upon getting the cams!

Original stock cams still in place


After the installation was completed, the car overall feels much torquier and very much willing to rev!

However the last part of the puzzle is still missing and that is the part on re-tuning the parameters for the Unichip. Right now the car drives pretty much ok, albeit with jerky move off from Gear 1 and 2. 

Best part of the installation is the reverberation of the lumpy idle in the cabin while the car is well, at idle. Idle RPM is stable at a slightly higher 900+ rpms as compared to the usual 700+ before the installation.

Can u tell if these are stock or JUN's?

Glimpse of the piston chambers with the cams removal!
Stay tuned for the final part of the Cams installation in the coming week ahead!

Till then....

JUN cams installation (Part I - Collection)

Finally after two weeks of waiting the stock from Japan finally arrives in Singapore!
The stock arrived (1 set of 2 cams for intake and exhaust) with a nice-looking decal from JUN as well...

I will wait another week before the starting the installation! Cant wait to see how much gain could be achieved after installation and tuning!

While collecting the cams at a workshop, I came across an Audi TT doing its servicing on the hoist with its engine bay exposed. Can't help taking a snapshot of the engine bay with its matt black intake pod (brand unknown). Am sure the car would make a sweet induction roar when initiated!
