S13Nick 0 Posted July 29, 2008 i was just wondering if i would notice anything buy using the cam out of my 1.9gti engine, its the 130bhp engine well thats what mine was rolling road'd at standard! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted July 29, 2008 Probably a lack of power yes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S13Nick 0 Posted July 29, 2008 really would of though it would +bhp! ohwell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tom_m 0 Posted July 29, 2008 its got more lift and duration yes, but its also got a lot of overlap, so you'll end up pissing all you boost straight out the exhaust valves. hence the desire for the DKZ cam, which is very similar but with much less overlap.

S13Nick 0 Posted July 29, 2008 well ok, i can source a dkz cam, could i swap my 1.9 am in a dkz engine and then he'll see results? as there pretty rare Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weejimmy 1 Posted July 31, 2008 how do i check if its a dkz engine? im scrapping 3-4 heads and prob worth a quick check, you could have it for postage if i have one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sounds of silence 2 Posted July 31, 2008 just buy a catcam from qep thats what i went for and are spot on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carbers205 1 Posted August 1, 2008 The RFX cam from the 306 xsi 8v is v similar to the DKZ and will do the same job. Sadly for you I just sold mine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gizzmo 3 1 Cars Posted August 2, 2008 i have a dkz engine that will be avaliable soon in fact its already out of the car Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veloce200 3 Posted August 4, 2008 the 1.9 cam is ideal for a turbo it's assymetrically ground and the overlap is on the inlet only so its ideal for turbo engine... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S13Nick 0 Posted August 4, 2008 can anyone else prove this as i dont wanna do it to find out that its s**t Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sounds of silence 2 Posted August 4, 2008 really would of though it would +bhp! ohwell buy one actually ment for that engine there are a few out there that way there in no doubt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veloce200 3 Posted August 4, 2008 can anyone else prove this as i dont wanna do it to find out that its s**t look at the figures ___________1.6 1.9 Sri In/opens____8 11.5 1 In/closes____42 43 48 Duration____230 234.5 234 LCA________107 105.75 111 Ex/Opens___40.5 46 43 Ex/Closes__2.5 2 1 LCA_______109 112 111 Duration____223 228 224 i am also using a 1.9gti engine completely standard with a turbo. still not had it rolling roaded yet but I would bet A LOT of money that it would easily produce a lot more power for same level of boost than a 2.0 with the standard turbo cam. you only have to look at turbo cams to see overlap at tdc on inlet only is the answer if you want more power up top - take a look at www.catcams.be (unfortunately only works with Internet Explorer) and look at some of the wrx cams - look at lca on inlet and exhaust and also lift at tdc on inlet and exhaust. you will see contrary to popular opinion even some lift at tdc on exhaust is acceptable.
