View Full Version : 10 bHP INCREASE GBP 500.00 CHANGING THE CAMS
Hey lads,
What do you think of the above - works out about GBP 51.00 PER 1 BHP - Cams will need to be changed sooner or later if this turbo gets built

It's one of the reasons I'm getting another motor, 16v power isn't cheap...
TO me that's expensive for only 10bhp but I'm sure that will get me flame griled....

your right pete, 500 for a set of cams!! jeez, better supercharging the car for two or three times that but look how much extra you get!!
Yeah,
I know 5 huner' seems steep - but like I said its either stickthe the cordy or get an Ibiza - my thought on the matter is baically do the car up to the max - I mean its only p reg 23k - so I might as well tart it up to the eyeballs until its time to go to the modified graveyard in the sky
Ovv

why not get a supercharger then from a corrado, apart from a rebuild every 40-50 k miles, how often is that going to have to be done?? there is no lag with supercharging either, all belt driven and ive seen a few of these corrados and they are bloody quick.

You know G60 Corrado charger motors are 8v right? G60 Limited was 16v G60 - Very rare - Very Expensive.
Just checking.... :D

I like the G-lader engine... its superb power everywhere.
The best G-Lader engined car I drove was a Mk1 with all the right bits..... It was amazing. Every gear accelerated like the last one.... fast fast fast fast fast - rev limiter..... EAK!
G-Lader's have the reputation of being fragile though... ££ when things go wrong. They are an old engine now, so you are unlikely to find a low mileage one.
