Help with Engine/cam Specs
Im looking for some specs on the engine/ camshafts of the VFR for a uni project.
Dunno if anyone has a workshop manual that they are in.
After:
Bore (mm) - 55
Stroke (mm) - 42
Compression ratio - 11.3
Igntion Timing
Valve Lift IN (mm) - 7.7
Valve Lift EX (mm) - 7.2
IN Valve open (Deg BTDC) - 15
IN Valve closes (Deg - ABDC) - 35
EX Valve open (Deg BBDC) - 35
Ex Valve close (DEG ATDC) - 5
Duration Inlet - 230
Duration Exhaust - 220
Any values people could supply would be great. :)

This pic has the nc30 and nc35 camshaft lift (same for both models) and duration (different) on it:

Re: Help with Engine/cam Specs
Very informative diagram 'cammo'. Are there HRC cams and if so is ther info on lift and duration?

Re: Help with Engine/cam Specs
There were hrc cams offered for the nc30, my dodgy translation of the F3 kit manual sees intake and exhaust valve lift increased 0.3 mm over standard lift. Not sure about duration differences.Variablevalves suck wrote:Very informative diagram 'cammo'. Are there HRC cams and if so is ther info on lift and duration?
Bare in mind the kit cams will require the kit pistons with suitable crown cutaways.
There's a copy of the nc30 TT-F3 manual in the document libarary, info on cams on page 1-11:

Re: Help with Engine/cam Specs
I degree'd my HRC grinds today and came up with these numbers:
Valve Lift IN (mm) - 8.0mm
Valve Lift EX (mm) - 7.5mm
*IN Valve open (Deg BTDC) - 18
*IN Valve closes (Deg - ABDC) - 49
*EX Valve open (Deg BBDC) - 43
*Ex Valve close (DEG ATDC) - 13
Duration Inlet - 247
Duration Exhaust - 236
* Degree'd to 105 centrelines and at 1mm lift
Now I just need to double-check my piston/valve clearance....

Re: Help with Engine/cam Specs
Haha, I'm not running it yet!
I just dialled the cams to the correct place and then removed the heads to measure the clearance before realising I had blue-tac instead of plasticine. It should be fine though as I am running standard rods and no head skim but I don't want to take any chances.
