Hi everyone ready to put my engien back in my fiesta rs turbo and hav got to fit a new cam ive been speaking to sue collins of collins motorsport and she says that she has always used this cam on higher boost engines whats peoples view is it a good cam. i was going to buy the whole kit of them for £240

Oranoco

Shit imho.

I would go for Newman cam or if the funds won't allow it a Kent CVH35. IME the 285T2 cam sacrifices too much in the rest of the rev range for a smal increase in peak power. If you're chasing figure you may be fine if you want a car that's good to drive I wouldn't go near it

jrs

I have the t2 cam and it been very good my mate has used a few kent cam's and piper cam's and said piper was the best for pulling a way and took the kent out as it wasn't as good off the lights

GavStyli

cant beleive no ones asked your engine spec and turbo etc before advising what cam to get

hi gav i spoke to sue collins and told her my spec of engine and she advised me to have a piper cam she uses them and never had any probs with them. newman were'nt helpfull at all mate and i'm definately not having a kent cvh35 thats what i had fitted before and it did 900 miles and wore no1 lobe clean off. the said my engien was faulty but as the guy who rebuilt it for me use to work for sue collins and turbo systems, they sent a engineer out to check oil pressure etc and he couldnt find anything wrong with my engine they just payed half of the price for it. i told sue collins that john reid had rebuilt my engine and done the headwork she said he was one of the best she has had working for her along with chris. she was quite taken back that ive got a bentley arnage t3 turbo fitted to my fiesta

Oranoco

Piper have as much of an issue with their blanks as Kent (and are equally as unhelpfull). Only Newman seem to have this issue well and truely sussed. Taking the Newman out of the equation I would still opt for the CVH35 hand and fist over the 285T2 but it's your money at the end of the day and ultimately your choice.

in my old fiesta i had a piper 285t cam in it, and i was speaking to one of the guys down at power engineering and he said to me the t cam is better to gofor than the t2 cam, even though it states that it is designed for higher boosting engines, the cam sacrifices a lot of the rev range points for little extra performance, seriously reduces everyday drivingness

How about the Kent34 profile for midrange power?

Lou Lou.

After i had mine fitted Chris Todd told me to take it out and put a standard one back in as they were so much better

Well he is still running a standard one is his fez so it cant be all bad

Neil@FastFord

that's probably right chick, i saw 220+ all day long on a standard head and cam


I currently have a Kent cv34 in mine at the moment for a bit of low down grunt....but seeing as the engines in bits AGAIN. I may be changing when funds allow

Oranoco

The standard cam is actually a very good bit of kit. I recorded 208bhp at Engine Advantages on my completely standard top end.

Neil@FastFord

I'd probably agree....i know, my old lump was a freak!


It would pull 220+ on any rollers....standard T3, head and cam


I dont know how, but it did!


Since then i have changed loads and the car has become a stroppy cunt!

Try sitting down with her mate and having a lil chat, its amazing what a bit of tlc and a nice meal does for the girls..

Chuck a nice bottle of v-power down her, warm her up and those G-spot shocks of course...... then rag the titties of her, get a bit of ass end action if ya push it hard -then ya laughing....

As for cam stick with standard to 210 then go Kent..

Neil@FastFord

you clown

Oranoco

He might have a point though.

I really hope I'm not the only person to pat the dashboard after a good tear up and tell her "good girl"

KEVFRST

no your not mate, i do it regular, was stroking and caressing her as we drove home from Nobles on saturday!

Luca

I was saturday morning she woke me early again and wanted to strap a few things on to.....

so out came the new garrett and within no time at all she was blowing like a treat.

As i turned that key i gave a cheeky slap - and she screamed into life
