When I've got the last of the generic chips to test for my comparison of 4 and finish the comparison write up I'll start playing with some cam configurations. Also be interesting to get the info on the NM cams with regards to lift and duration as that will give an indication whether it's worth getting hold of a set to test those too in the varying combinations.

Cams affect the character of the engine no matter what turo you're running. Just because we don't have 400+bhp doesn't mean that there isn't something to be gained (or lost ) Intake and Exhaust mods associated with 400+bhp have already seen the little k24 on mine pulling much harder than before and there's always room to have a little play for less than £000's.Cheers'en, AndyC

Whay has noone fitted an ABY exhaust to the inlet as per mk.2 Golf GTI 16v KR engines. More duration, more lift. I sense a plan coming on here. Anyone got an old ABY exhaust they want to sell on
Looking into the Golf side of things it seems that an adjustable chain wheel is all that's needed for the timing and having the cam pulley nose machined off.
Edit, looks like a 7A inlet is basically the same thingLast edited by Rusty; 19 February 2009, 10:00.Cheers'en, AndyC

Thanks for the info jamo saves searching around will have to do some maths and see what should do what before experimenting.
^^^ Andy don't need a vernier chain gear to use an exhaust cam as an intake can be done without machining using the original one as it's the same as the 16v's.UrS6 Stroker + HTA3586 =

I've got a 7A inlet to fit, going for some NA style tuning after seeing that's what Catcams do for their lower end turbo cams. Worked well on a BM and VW I've seen / built.
Also I know norris motorsport tune there cars up as much as possible NA then add in the turbo and get some seriously good results.

thats what i planned to do andy. i got 2 sets and a cam pulley for a 16v with the keyway cut different. they are not at the same position on the cam though. need to get some adjustables then thats what im doing. i have a 16v head with a set in here so an going to time the adjustables the same.
