Cam?

[SCHWARTZ]

as im now going bigger turbo wise im thinking about doing something with my cam I have all ready up gtaded to an ep cam but I think that now this will my main restriction. Is the only option a reprofile? If so where would be a good place to go? Also what is the best profile to go with a t28?

[HAndy]

piper direct would do it , have a word with marky mark, as he is building a hi spec b18f. also have a word with scoff/haz as they have had a good go with this engine and would be able to give you some advis when it comes to cam choice :)

but as a basic rule of thumb get as high lift as poss and little overlap,(you pro already knew that);)

the f7 can go as high as 12mm lift before hydro cam followers need replacing for mechanical
type with shim adjustments

[SCHWARTZ]

The lifters on these are mechanical as they are adjusted by shims arnt they? So does that mean its poss to go quite high:D

depends on how much lift there is at the mo i suppose:scratch: and how well the springs and collets handle more lift:scratch:,

might have to get new springs made up , or send one to piper and see if they can match it with something of another car , seem to remember somebody saying ford sierra valve springs ...ages ago...mmm worth a try i suppose:ashamed:

[HAndy]

what are you aiming for bhp wise ?:)

[HAndy]

why not fit bigger inlet valves and flow the ports/ manifold not cheap but will all help:cool:

[HAndy]

ferrea forged exhaust valves in mine , not cheap though was about £22 each valve:(

but on the plus you only have 8 to buy:laugh:

if your thinking of a 1 off cam , might as well stuck the f7 in there works out more bhp for less £ in the long run:confused:

[SCHWARTZ]

Well I dont want to spend mega money id be very hapy with 250bhp:D

You may have to be spending some money to get there, I don't think Haz even made it to there, Marky Mark may do but we'll have to see.
Should have done the F7 conversion if you wanted 250+ :cooter:

[philg]

I paid £150 for a re profile and £50 for shims from piper, they told me cam would be a 279 not enough on it to make a 285.

[Big Jim]

Come on. 250 is easy with a C1j let alone the B18. you'd only need a 16v engine if you want LOADS of power and can afford/fit the gbox to handle it.

[Brizza]

In the old days some people thought that the carb provided a bottle neck and that power over 225bhp wasnt achievable?

This was suposed to be cheap reliable power:laugh: 250 is now the bench mark:D

Do they just change the duration to get the 279. £200 aint bad I thought it would be a lot more may get it done then for my bday:D

I am in the same boat as you, must be someone that can make a good cam for a b18FT :cry:

[SCHWARTZ]

No doubt many places can make them but unless it was a big group buy costs would be silly:eek:

[scott25]

group buy sounds good if theres gonna be a few interested though

[Matt Cole]

My brother would be interested in one if it happens?:agree:

jonty power?

[Markey Mark (BD)]

If everyone is interested in a group buy cam for the B18FT then i could look into it, i have a mass batch of cams here which could use to get them ground.

Question is what sort of cam would people like, all out power or good road cam?

[SCHWARTZ]

Thats going to be the main problem as everyone will no doubt want different specs. I would like a cam for some decent power but would be using it on the road so something between the two, nearer to the power end of the scale tho:D

[HAndy]

go for all out power :D :burnrubber:

if they can grind standard cam to a 279 profile, is'nt thats plenty for a street use turbo application.

maybe ,we should concentrate on a group uprated gearbox buy to handle all the ftlb that all these f series turbo engines are going to push out :laugh:

[SCHWARTZ]

All out power cams and super strong gearboxes it is then:D

I am up for a new cam :)

[philg]

The guys at piper were really great with me. Im sure if you could get 5-10 cams done, there must be some discount.

Im getting my car on the r/r early this year, so might give an idea of power to be had with just minor mods and a cam in :)
