camshaft

[en035]

Hi all,

I have a Clio 1.6 16V 3D 2003.

Mods are KN filter SS sportexhaust and superchip. For the next step I am thinking of a performance camshaft. Do you have any ideas for which brand is the best what should be the specs for the camshaft. Could it be possible to gain 10-20 HP?

Thanks for your replies.

not from simple cam swaps no.......well, it is but not without making adjustments to other areas.

Who makes cams for that engine?

Anyone has an idea what are these numbers ?

 

[BenR]

Yes, but could you repost it with the numbers in order, along with lift values.

Or provide the links to it.

The thing is youll be making the car more efficient in an area its not designed to spend much time in if you go too wild.

The car probably wont respond well lower down the revs like it did before.

 

[BenR]

theres a given.

Any gain always results in a loss in another area.

 

[en035]

actually, there should be an effective rev range such as 1500 - 6500 ?

I am really thinking about to buy one of these. But it seems that it would not be an easy mod.

 

[BenR]

nah, its easy.

i would use the Schirck cam.

 

[en035]

why? which one will give better perf?

thx

 

[BenR]

neither of them are very wild, but the schrick cam seems to be just that tiny bit better, but i cant read the italian site so i was doing my best to guess at which column meant what.
