The Awnser...N/A cams, are they worth it

[MexxT]

You should try and do a before and after result aswell.

If I can, I will.
But I think it is going to be my dyno now, and the new dyno compaired.

It makes 318bhp and 434Nm now.
But I'll keep you updated

I traded in my 312mm brakes plus 75 bucks for 2 cams.
so free upgrade for me and made some money haha.
Only need to order some gaskets and seals.
oh and a new tensioner for the belt! it has a lot of miles on it, so better replace
belt is brand new.

Part numbers sizes and engine code info

thanks for the info. Cams, and particularly the testing. Thankyou for Sharing

VW Prices for these are £254+vat each............ so finding used engines with these in... is the only "cheap" way of upgrading...

I can source "others" which are n/a spec which I am about to test in our lupo, and less ££

What cams are you going to be testing bill?

Be interested in gains over the OEM cams

Much apriciated test results, thanks.

We are also using ADR cams in our stroker. I hope the engine can get in the car next week (still weeks until first crank)

Bill,

did you ever get round to testing your other n/a spec cams - curious to see how you got on

 

[teamx]

The exact answer I have been searching for...

 

[fourtwofive]

Loving it nice little mod!!!

 

[teamx]

Will be doing this in the not too distant future. Got my hands on an ADR intake camshaft

 

[ibizacupra]

It did nothing........ no gains in peak numbers.
lost some low down, held on to the peak longer. that was all.

3 cars tried them on now, same results on all of them

not worth the bother

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

I've got some for sale

 

[teamx]

Yet the OP had good results?

What gives?

 

[ibizacupra]

no idea

3 x cars here no benefit of note

i dont know why not vs the op's results.... which looked ace and why we bothered to try it..

 

[teamx]

Well I only paid the equvalent of £47 for it so gonna give it a shot. Will report back once its been installed.

Thanks for the clear cut response, most people suger coat things way to much
