Re: 288 estas cam in 2L 8v

You must be in durban. It's only tuners in that place that perpetuate that can't run 298 on single throttle lie.

Re: 288 estas cam in 2L 8v
Yes.panic. I'm from Durban.. was told by someone who had the 298 with a single throttle that the idle was rough but all was sorted when he changed to throttles.
So was i misinformed then.

Re: 288 estas cam in 2L 8v
So then do you think a tuner can fine tune the rough idle down?

Re: 288 estas cam in 2L 8v
298 is possible with stb in Durban, a proper tune can make that possible .

Re: 288 estas cam in 2L 8v
Any long cam idles badly. Live with it or don't install it. As long as it does not die what does a rough idle matter?

Re: 288 estas cam in 2L 8v
I had recently used a tuner that was basically buggering me around for over a year! The first thing that comes to mind is what parts do I fit next to find the expected power- its normal for someone that isn't really clued up. But I took my car with the exact same setup to another tuner (Autotrix) and I made the expected power. Lesson to be learnt- Never loose faith in your car first and foremost, second be open to try different tuners and be assertive in letting him know what you expect.
Your gains could be minimal with from the change to a 288 from a 282, my money would be first spent on a proper tune before anything decision is taken.
I will be fitting a 298 Estas on my single TB 8v as soon as its available- something i'm not even thinking twice about.

Re: 288 estas cam in 2L 8v
I have lost count of the number of 298's i have fitted and sold for single throttle applications. It works and very well. It is what it was designed for. It is one of those literally exist only in Durban bulldust myths.

Re: 288 estas cam in 2L 8v
I had a 2.0 8V Velo with a 298 cam as a daily in Joburg, did on average around 3500km/month - traffic jams and all. Only issue I ever had was once when sitting idling on an incline with my foot on the brake I lost vacuum (assist) and the car started to roll back, after the initial confusion I diagnosed the cause - a couple of quick revs restored the vacuum and the brakes worked again. This only happened during periods of prolonged idling with a foot on the brake.
Current rides:
VW Golf - 83 GT 2.1 16V 2-door with throttles
VW Golf - 78 LS 2.0 8V 4-door (2.1 ABF with throttles in progress)
VW Golf - '08 Citi Storm - 1.4 for now
Hyundai - 1.4 Getz (daily)

Re: 288 estas cam in 2L 8v
29(anything) cam is so hard to find . No stock brand new or second hand .
I would also suggest a proper tune before a hardware changes
Where did u tune the car ?
