Piper cams advice.

[Ryan172]

Done a few hours using the search box and the posts are outdated so my question...

What's people's opinions/experience with piper cams for the f4r these days? Are they still the tappety racket they were previously and are they still regrinds?

Thanks

heard them in a couple of engines and not been noisy at all.

 

[Mr R.]

@Ph1 Tom had them in hes PH1 track car.

I've had a set, can't say they were noisey/tappety at all.
They're blanks but some of there lower spec (fast road) one are available as reprofiles.
Was impressed with them to be honest, car had plenty of poke through the rev range and sounded pretty savage.
Sure, there's better options out there but bang for buck they're not bad at all.

Yeah you can't argue with the price compared to Cat Cams!.. Seriously tempted by them ... There's 3 different profiles that I've seen. I'm looking something similar to the 438's

You'd want BP285's then I think chap, pretty sure they're around £400 and are definetly blanks not regrinds.

Mine never tapped but now the kit come with those additional shims so eliminates any chance.

I have Piper 285 cams in my cup no noise at all...

 

[Ph1 Tom]

I had reprofiles. Great cams and no noise. Get the 285 profile

 

[cpaterson76]

I have new 285s, sound very tappety, but no hindrance on performance at all. When I arrived at rs tuning for the map they new instantly that it was pipers, they noted they were the only cams that do this in the Clio........

How much are cams, fitted and mapped

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

How much are cams, fitted and mapped

I'd imagine it's cambelt change price + price of cams + price of the mapping

I remember one of the traders on here a couple of years ago offering a package for £999

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah spotted that. I've had a price for the cams to be fitted and a rough price on mapping. It's how much second hand cams in good condition are.
