To cam or not to cam that is the question

[Mr Plums]

Are branded decats interchangeable with different branded carback systems?

Sorry for the random question lol.

+1, as what has already be stated, it might be down to the secret timing, maybe if @bloke has fitted 438’s to a clio, he might have secret timing on these too which might make 200+hp? If the 438’s are supposedly more aggressive acheiving more power?

no they arent, some are sleeved, and some have the olive attachment welded on, like the scorpion decat, whereas the miltek decat is sleeved and its longer in length

Whichever decat it'll be good for 10hp and 15ft/lb at EFI :wink:

i heard if you take the 197 RS badge off and fit it to a 1*2 it will get you into the turbo torque range :up:

This is getting ridiculous now. We know badgeless is the way forward. Because holes.

My 182 with 197 cams made 159f/lb and 188hp and happily kept up with my friends 182 that had 438's and apparently 193bhp.
On that basis I'd say they were good value for money (if you need your belts doing!)

That was also with the cat still on so it might find a few more ponies if I put a decat on.

Simple question. If all the cams were the same price which would you buy?

My take, it appears there isnt much between them in terms of tuning capabilities with 438 being slightly more favourable. Ultimately if you purchased 438's you are paying a premium for a disproportionate gain but a gain nevertheless.

colombo & bariani or schrick.

cat, pigeons etc :tongueclosed:

 

[yeecup]

id personally go for 421s and jenveys. Might be able to keep up with a 197 cammed one.

 

[Clio_fool]

Here sorry

Great read tonight in here! Do we have a power figure for the ED conversion? Also ED have their own secret timing for the cam's too, so next time the belts need doing you have to go back to whoever fitted your cam's.
Lol at EFI doctoring figures[emoji23][emoji23]

toyosport manifold?



i love it as soon as anyone gets decent figures 'dyno is out'

will see if i can find it but i've got a graph from ed and one from efi, same engine and ecu but in different car, fwir they wer within a couple of bhp of each other. if anything chris' is the other way round, seen more people especially on rolling road days, disappointed with the figures his gives. think there is also on i retimed that's got a graph from efi and somewhere else, can't think where the other place was though sorry.



it's the internet, that ain't going to happen :tonguewink:

So did you find those other dynographs ?
