197 cams

[Jonny1*2]

Has anyone ever put these in a 1*2 engine? The only reason I ask is that there was a formula renault engine (f4r) for sale on ebay running 197 cams. Are the profiles that different to OEM?

 

[Jonny1*2]

Come of Fred, I know you'll know the facts and figures

 

[sideways danny]

the profile is designed to be used with constantly variable timing. Did look at doing it ages back and decided the only worthwhile way would be to use a 197 style VVT pulley, and adding a cam sensor, (or using the entire 197 head) They wouldn't be a worthwhile drop in fitment IMO

Interesting. Not sure if this engine had different pullies, but it would make sense. Thanks Danny

Anyone know anymore info on this?

so 197/200 cams would fit? are the 197/200 heads the same fitment as my 182?

 

[Fred@BTM]

waste of time

 

[Gt rob]

ys that mate? theres the same gains to be had from either head?

 

[Fred@BTM]

by the time you **** about with it and spend a fortune, you can gain the same/more power in others ways
