Jez Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 HeyHas anyone on here fitted more sporty cams in their 100bhp 1.4s?this is my next step, after sorting induction out slightly,im looking at some 244, fast/road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Not that I have heard of.... 244 seem a little mild to me though - whats standard?I think I am right when I say a 1.4s is the 75BHP model ? Sport is 100 BHP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Has anyone on here fitted more sporty cams in their 100bhp 1.4s?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Its the 100hp engine Tim.What size were the cams Andy fitted to his sport?I know he said there was no noticable gains, but then hes running a stanard ECU.

Tigz™ Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 252 isnt really enough for the engine.Think Si was talking in the region of 280? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 This is the problem as far as Im aware, the lumpyest cams they do, are not really lumpy enough Im hoping someone better in the know can conferm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvid Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 I had schrick 256 cams in my car. These are more torque cams and not high horsepower output cams. They still give a noticable difference from about 3000rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerz Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 the lupo i was gona buy had 256 cams in it and was a sport! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Yeah I would say 280 is pretty extreme - a friend used to have a Golf MKII with 280 cams in and it used to sound like a tractor - set the idle to 2000 rpm otherwise it would stall.244 sounds way too mild. i would go group N - but even then I am guessing you would have idle issues.

tshirt2k Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 i'd like cams that let you drive around normally at low revs, but come alive when you press the loud pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 truth is your never going to get maximum power and driveability from a set of cams, anything over a 260 profile in a 1.4 would give idling issues so its not really worth it unless your willing to put up wi lumpy idling!

Tigz™ Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 the lupo i was gona buy had 256 cams in it and was a sport!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thats right Sheldon.the 256 cams Andy fitted vertually changed nothing, no noticable power increase.Thats why I say 280.260 wouldnt be enough.At the end of the day its gonna be a comprimise.If your wanting power then you need to expect some sort of problems, and unfortunatly the way the Loop engine is, your not gonna get much benifits without going lumpy as ****.
