Im thinking of upgrading to one

Does anybody have one of theses cams fitted on the inlet side ?

Any information about how it drives, makes power would be nice

Cheers

Steve

 

Looks very simaler to a BD14 execpt you can use them with out any need for piston pocketing.

your not spending more money on it surely.

I wonder if this is going to turn into a 15 pager like your last one.

 

Bit slow so far Pete

Did you get my PM ?

Steve

 

Nobody know anything then

Steve

 

Only "heard" he picked up 20-30bhp over standard exhaust cam when in a bd16+ inlet t4 480bhp combo.

Not much help to you though.

 

I'm getting a pair (after my next mod to increase power) - don't forget your double valve springs

 

Are they hydraulic cams or not ?

would like to know more aswell, is it worth having a pair or just the inlet because everyone seems to say keep the standard exhaust cam up to 500bhp??

 

hydraulic cam - requires double valve springs

 

This one mentioned requires double valve springs ? and is hydraulic, okey dokey, not heard of that particular one myself.
What's it nearest to in BD terms ?
tabetha

 

Nearest that i can see looking at the figures is a BD14

Steve

 

Thanks,

I run that cam in my car and have done for 3 years. Think the other name for it is CW1.

 

what other mods are you running and whats your view on it?? are you just running the inlet of exhaust aswell??

 

I am just running the Inlet with a standard exhaust, the car defo drives better than it did before, feels like it comes on boost earlier and holds the power right the way through. I did go from L6 ecu with an off the shelf chip to L8 ecu and live map at the same time.

Standard valve springs, mildly ported head.

The was the car on a DD dyno last year, high and low boost graphs. The boost ppipe blew off on the high boost run due to me splitting one the day before and having to bodge one on for the day.

 

I think most run the std exhaust with a BD 14/15 type cam with very good results.

I'm going to price an inlet cam up tomorrow, do all Kent stockest sell them or are they only available from selected outlets??

 

I haven't found out yet.

What other mods are you doing ?

Steve

 

If you Talk to Rainbird or Grove garage they will defo be able to sort it for you.

 

What boost are you running on yours ?

You are on a T38 as well i think ?????

Steve

 

Steve mine runs 28psi held on a T4 mate not a T38.

I had my cam off Ahmed directly when he mapped the car i got him to install it.

 

Steve my top end will be complete with a new inlet cam and double springs, I have the 4x4 inlet and 17.6mm spacer is fine and ports are 25/26. My bottom end has under 3k since build

 

can we get 5 or so together and do a group buy??

 

Do u want me to ring Grove and get a price

 

sounds like a plan,

 

Does anybody know what the lift and duration is on the standard cam ?

I have the figures for the AB07

Steve

 

8.5mm and 241 degrees i think

 

dont quote me on that though

 

The AB07 is 8.85mm and 256 degrees

So not that much extra lift but 15 degrees more duration

Steve

 

sort of a BD13 then, halfway between a 12 and 14 in lift

 

There may be enough meat on the std cam for a regrind(to BD14/15) ?, does anyone know for sure ?
tabetha

 

Phone Kent or Piper and ask them, im sure they would be the best people to talk too

Steve

 

whats the score with regrinds, are they as good as new or just a more economical alternative??

 

Saves me a call Pete

I see Stu's knocking the double valve springs (no mods) out at Ł144 posted maybe he'll have a little site group buy if enough were interested or would you just buy the one side for the high lift cam??

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RS-Cosworth-YB...item41494743c5

 

..........from what i was told it has more lift and less duration so it's not as laggy..........
need to know how many cams, and what price they are to buy from Kent/burtons...then i'll ring back and see if Ahmed can sort something out...Mark at grove says they do work well,but to get the most out of them u need a ported head

 

dont need them with the AB cam....

 

il be interested in a group buy or maybe just on its own if no one lese is interested? think ported head would be my next mod anyway, is there any advantage of the double valve springs anyway even if they are not 'needed'

 

I am happy to run group buys on any items you guys are interested in that we sell.

 

Stu any answer to the question above as ive been thinkin of purchasing for a while now??
