How to tune 3L+SVT cam
- Thread starter hcl
- Start date
not sure about a full 3L but every ported 3L w/SVT cams will idle just normally after the pcm learns how to.
there are a number of things that need to get tuned for a straight 3L. Like tuning out the secondaries, adjusting timing because of no secondaries, etc.

Thats good to know. I'm about to start porting my heads. And I have a extra set of SVT cams.
I have heard that people fill in the oval port injector cut-out area with JB weld. Anybody have any luck welding it?

My 3L with SVT cams idles just fine but I feel there is a lot that can be done with a tune. My car doesn't have the power I would expect down low until I get the RPM's up when the secondaries open. So I will be getting a tune from http://www.npg-racing.com/Tuning-&-...m-Performance-Tune/product_info.html?CDpath=6
You can get plates from http://www.hybridaction.com/Store/Contour.htm so you don't need to fill with JB

Kinger on the boards used to offer a 'PnP Port Match' service that included welding. He had them done at a machine shop, but doesn't offer this service anymore.Anybody have any luck welding it?

full 3L's dont idle properly until 100kms or so of driving. the pcm needs to learn it and thats about how long it takes, the car will have a choppy idle and even stall out every time until you drive that distance and it learns everything.
What injectors are you running? If they are the 24lbs/hr from the 3L that is likely the cause of rough idle, not the cams.
I'm about to start porting my heads.
why are you porting the heads if you are doing a full 3L swap???

I had a few welded up including my current car. Works great. It's probably the best solution but it is more difficult than swapping the plates on.
