chippa Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 hi can anybody tell me the best but not silly money cams to get and where from for a 1.4 16v75bhp engine thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 what do you call silly money? lol. You're looking at just shy of £600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippa Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Hmm I noticed that. Lol what's the beat to go for and what's the likely performance increase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippa Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 How about using Lupo sport cams from the 1.4 100bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) The inlet cam from the lupo sport is exactly the same and the exhaust is slightly different not sure you'd gain much from it...sorry not sure on the exact increases I'm about to buy catcams for mine but cant find anyone else that seems to have used them Edited December 30, 2010 by truCido Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippa Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Haha iv just been eyeing up them catcams aswell ... But 600 seems alot for two cams haha best get saving I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Tell me about it! Unfortunately I seem unable to find anyone else that makes them...its quite a rare engine so the cams aren't made in large numbers so you pay for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippa Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Haha it's ok I dont mind mind paying it. If it's a good increase but if it's just say 5bhp it seems abit pointless lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I'll cry like a little girl if its only 5bhp lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippa Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 haha iv been told the difference should be very noticeable do you know anything about different throttlebodies to change or anythinng like that ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 indeed I'm just buying a set of jenveys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 You will gain more by getting the head gas flowed, sorting out the valve seats and the like... Then cams after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusgrant Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 surely its not just the buying of the cams, what about the remap? isnt it hard to map a standard ecu as well to run cams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippa Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Getting the head gas flowed .... Explain please oh and I'm stripping the engine tomorrow so any thing I can tweak or clean up well that will make any difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Gas flowing is just porting...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_head_portingThis should end up cheaper than cams with better results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippa Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 How much is this and where can it be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo87 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 i bought a set of schrick cams 3 weeks old still in the wrappers for £250 off of a mate of mine there for an aub engine tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 just looked at schrick and for road cams they look a lot cheaper but they don't seem to do anything crazy like i want :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 run an afh head and the cam's can be lary as you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 For the poster that might be a good idea but depends what he wants to do....I'm not allowed as an AFH engine was never fitted to a Lupo (in my rules and regs it states that I must use a head that was fitted to a Lupo at some point in its production) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 pap. shame as the potential for huge gains is there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
