What did was/are you running in your ZVH's???

Is the Piper 285 ok, or does someone like mr norris do a specially profiled came for the ZVH??

AFAIK, Jon was running a custom NMS cam!

TILLIO

Cheers rolls

Jon ERST S2

yep custom NMS one. Fairly close to a 285T profile. I was previously running a 285T2 cam.

Very very pleased with the cam from Karl. It made boost almost at idle and revved very well.

Was very good value too. drop him an e-mail for a price only took a few days to come too.

the obove mentioned cam is mental at about 3800 rpm!

Jon ERST S2

Thats the combo with the T34. More progressive, less wheelspin more movement!

FYI The cam was ground by piper to karl's spec. (only available to him)

Nick-T

Try getting in touch with Piper, they've just sent me a press release for a new cam designed for the ZVH. It's similar to the 285T and is available off the shelf

Does Karl do a mechanical Cam for use with solid followers??

Also does he supply it as a kit or cam on its own?

Jon ERST S2

He supplies followers with it as required. I got anti pump on mine. I wouldn't have thought you'd be revving high enough for solid TBH. A set of anti-pump and double vavle springs should let you rev high enough.

Nick - do they mention what the profile is?

zvhturbo

Are anti pump good for 7500rpm??

Nick-T

Only info I've got is that it's a modified version of the 285T2.


The part no is ZVHT3.

I did have a spec sheet on it but I've put it somewhere safe and can't find it now

Jon ERST S2

not sure karl will know. You think you'll need to rev it that high?

zvhturbo

Its only 1000 more than ford intended and with a all steel bottom end etc, don't think it will be a problem.

Jon ERST S2

but it's a different engine. Different bore/stroke, you need to do a lot more to get them to rev as well as say Tim's CVH. (Shings now)

im sure it will rev to that if you';ve got the right components, but its the cam and valvetrain like you say that needs to be sorted- and you need a head to flow the air that high up the revrange to make it worthwhile!

Race power motorsport have just brought out a cam for the ZVH

Sexy-RS

Alex use's a Kent 35 Think its a bit worn now lol He is considering going for one from carl

TILLIO

Cheers for clearin that up Jon/Nick/Rolls etc.......

So to re-cap,

Piper cam (with mr Norris's special profile) ZVHT3
Anti pump lifters
Double valve springs

I assume that piper would be able to put the whole kit together

zvhturbo

Does anyone else know of any other manufacturers of cams other than Kent and Piper for the CVH engine??

TILLIO

Ford

Zvhturbo- go to newman, just outside bromley- will do you whatever cam you want, and are apparantly really good quality- ask PFDave as he uses them!- if you need showing where they are gimme a shout!

zvhturbo

Told they are no longer avaliable.

zvhturbo

Not after one just yet, however i have a Kent and been told i will be lucky if it last more than 1000 miles, so just keeping my eye out encase it goes tits up.

Ta though

Jon ERST S2

I heard bad things about Newman...

I would 100% recommend Karls cam but speak to him about it he will be able to give you the best advice. Remember the 285T and 285T2 are designed for a standard 1.6cvh engine with standard head and turbo.

hey Jon, have u posted those vents yet?
