I have 438s fitted and they are superb

I also have 438's and love em, guessing you'll be gettin a cam belt change n all?.

 

[baize]

bell was changed about 700 miles ago, will I need one?

 

[domsclio182]

^Yes mate, and get the 438's with ktec's new induction system, great power increase and awesome noise.

Sounds like you've missed a great opertunity as cams only really make financial sense to do when changing the belts.

LOL.

Brilliant, you had a full cambelt change 700miles ago and you are now considering fitting cams?

Why didn't you get it done at the same time?

My cambelt is due in about 10,000 miles so its the only reason in going to get cams.

Good deals aswell with 519 auto.

 

[Laine_16v]

Just change the belt only, its £35. Tensioners and idlers will be fine.

 

[at3k-]

Mine Was done by Danny at 519 also, top bloke and good price.

This. I'd be perfectly happy to just replace the belt rather than the whole kit in this situation. I did a cup like this recently

I know im being lazy and should search myself but u guys seem to know what your talking about so i'll take advantage haha (Sorry)... How much are the Cams to get fitted on average?

I have my belts done about 1,000miles ago so would i be able to just change the belt too?

Thats fine but you still have the labour to pay again. Shame but by no means the end off the world.

I think I would have the car live mapped as you'll get good gains for money spent. Not the same thing I know.

im going to be going for 438's

 

[Sam]

Dont the 438's give a lumpy idle though ??

What sort of MPG are you getting with 438's

Sam!

Sam!

not really lumpy that it would cause concern.

I took a 438'd cup for MOT the other day and got 41mpg. The owner had been getting 33mpg and thought there was something wrong. Seems he's just been enjoying it, LOL

Wicked. These are going to be my next purchase for sure.

Sorry to hijack a thread and bring it back but where is the best place to buy 438's?

Dan at 519 Automotive for 438's....

 

[NotoriousLor]

Clear your inbox Dan, how much are the 438's supplied since you're too far away to be fitting them as well?

[Andyman]

Spec cams to how you want your car to perform and what you use it for.

 

[NotoriousLor]

I know what cams I want mate, just looking for prices now

 

[Laine_16v]

Its on Ktec site, £594 inc VAT. I doubt Dannys price would be any different to that.
