as above looking to buy a cam kit for my little ka to help boost the power to around 200bhp

jus wondered what even one else is running and what are the main differences between say the piper, kent and the newman variety????


your thoughts would be greatly appriciated

[paradox]

i was just going to post a simaler question but i wanted someone to reccomend a performance cam to complement a polished and ported frst head with cut back valve guides but standard sized valves.


sorry if im hijacking your thread dude

personaly kent cvh35 from an escort turbo. does me good and works well i you go T3.

[garyhurn77]

i ve got a stage 2 t25???

[matty872]

don't really matter to much I used that cam on my car for 2yrs only went T3 [ERRR] my turbo blew.

[wildheart]

personaly i would ask my tuner which one he would recomend for my engine spec.
A cam that works well in one engine can be horrible in another.

[Oranoco]

Kent CVH34 or 35 every time. Deffo not Pipers 285T2 it's fudgekin s**t

[paradox]

whats the differance between the kent cvh 34 and the kent cvh 35?

[Oranoco]

I beleive there are subtle differences between the lift and the duration on the two cams. Ian Howell at Area Six will be the best man to speak to he explained it to me a few years ago

[Shannon]

As already said the CVH34

[garyhurn77]

where is the best place to buy the cvh34/35 cam kit... i ve looked in the performnace ford magazines but every tuner seems to be pushing the 285t2 piper cam kit???


gary

[Oranoco]

The 285T2 is s**t. Try the 35 and the T2 back to back and you will file the T2 in the bin. In fact I know somebody who did just that with a 500 mile old T2

gary

mine came from burton power.

[wildheart]

Most people including my tuner (NMS) say the Piper T2 is crap but after setting my car up he reckons it works fantastic in mine and is the best driving RST he had driven!
So like i say engine spec will determin whats best for you.

[Brammer]

Piper t2 and kent 34 & 35 are good cams but are old skool, i run a 36 in mine and it the best of the 3 and i've used all 3 kents in my fiesta and a 285T2 in my old efi turbo orion.

If you want the best cam for a cvh on the market at the moment is a newman camshaft with solid lifters

[garyhurn77]

arent solid lifters a pain in the arse to set up though?

Not particularly just go on the system of 9 - e.g if 2 down set 7 and so on.

http://www.newman-cams.com/pdf/ford.pdf

£110 = cam
£128 = solid lifters
£45 = double valve srings 200Ib
£18 = fitting tool

total = £301
