which cams???

[Nafoff]

i did put it in my other thread but as its not in the title i am not getting many replies.

looking at getting these shortly so need to know....

best cams to go for if i:

match the inlets and remap the car.

428's?

 

[Coby.]

From what I've read they would be the best choice for a mildly tuned Road based car

 

[ben_p]

428s

 

[ben_p]

anything more and you will need to crown or replace the pistons (Well bar 421s)

 

[Nafoff]

ok, thats as i thought then...thank you please...

are these ok for a future tune, ie for arguments sake..supercharging / ITB'ing?

Why not wait for the super 2000 inlet?

Ive looked at cams, and im trying to convince myself its alot of money for only 20bhp. Thoughts?

i am possibly looking into the super 2000 inlet also, this goes well with the cams

 

[172Ben]

Absolutely, i guessed at around £1400 for cams, fitting and a remap. And i couldnt warrant that for 20bhp ish i dont think. Its annoying trying to decide

 

[Nafoff]

totally agree mate...

its even harder when people don't get back to you...lol

If you go down the cams route... 428's are the ones to go for!

PM Icarus, he can get good prices from CatCams

 

[geesus69]

what about 421's?

what's better about 428's?

 

[172Ben]

428's from Kam racing are £568 delivered.

Sound advice imo.

Save the money towards a supercharger kit or even ktec turbo.

Too much effort and far better options than cams and TB's these days imo

For now ive decided on matched inlets, and an RStuner. Some new tyres and new engine mounts and AST top mounts

 

[Nafoff]

how much were / are the engine mounts?

 

[172Ben]

The group n style ones from KTEC, £175 is delivered.

 

[Nafoff]

cheers chap

As has been said wait for the super 2000 inlet before making a descision, as its likely cams will only offer 10bhp on top of the inlet.

If you are thinking about the super 2000 inlet its also money down the drain on matched inlets IMO

428's are the best bet as they offer good gains and retain standard engine management, whereas 421's (iirc) require standalone aftermarket management at a cost fo around £1000

Its getting increasingly likely that i will return my car to standard so i'm open to offers on my schricks lol

i thought that was only on fbw? as its the idle that needs adjusting, on a cable throttle setup you can adjust that manually

so i've been told anyway

 

[Nafoff]

i am looking at other forms of modding the engine, either way cams are probably going in......its not a case of yes or no...its pretty much yes, if they give me 5bhp, thats fine....if they give 10bhp+ even better

428's it is.......

 

[Jay Payne]

Not tempted by 421's?

 

[Nafoff]

i have only heard good things about 428's

i know nothing about 421's.......

whats the advantages of them?

 

[Jay Payne]

From what I was told they are just madder.

Cant say from a technical point of veiw. Andy/Dany will know more.

I only know they would be suitable coz I asked about them for mine. They wont need any piston mods iirc

 

[Nafoff]

i will include that in my message to andy then....

 

[Tucker]

super inlet. it's busting my balls waiting.

 

[Nafoff]

see my other thread chap....lol

its a possibility, lots of options

 

[Tucker]

i'm pretty much in the same predicament dude, but already spent money on inlets/cat.

settling for brakes, coilovers, and track wheels.

considered that? cheapy cheapy?

 

[Nafoff]

i have brakes to fit, coilovers are already on the car and i have track wheels....

interior is done....its now the engines turn...lol

 

[172Ben]

Wait for the inlet, trust me
