Furio cams

[Psycho_Eddie]

Engines currently acting up suspecting need new head, if thats the case while ive got the new head out could get it cammed

Its a 1.4 8v

Looking at three kits:

Kent Cam PT40 & PT41

Also Pipercam 285R

Would be getting it remapped, and would be able to upgrade injectors if nessisary could get some VTR ones

Breathing mods inc currently:

4-2-1 Manifold - Decat & Decat Back system
GSR induction
Oil Catch tank (No crackcase gas's re-entering burn)


Kent PT40 is off ebay £250 delivered as a kit with timming disc/lube... is the timming disc inc a vernier pully one or?

Cant find PT41

Also the Pipercam 285R on its own is £185 but without lube disc etc



Ultimalty when its remapped, i want it to be smooth still as i wont keep the car forever so need it to be sellable

Go for a PT40 - I've read on 106 Owners the 1.4 works well with it and VTR injectors. That kit on eBay won't come with the vernier pulley, it's another £100 for one of those.

What do they mean by it comes with a timming disc then? Just a non lightended version but new & clean etc?

Could you link me? :y:

*waits for drop a VTR or VTS engine in* and "no point in camming a 1.4*

Is more then id want to do, the 1.4's are great engine's just while head was out fancied Camming it to help powerband

The timing disc is carboard so I assume it's to help you set the timing when dialing the cam in. You can reuse the original pulley but a vernier would be best to tweak the timing during mapping.

I assume the timing disc helps you set the timing when dialing the cam in mate.

Would their be much benifit/point in buying a Kent Pully to be fitted when the PT40K cam kit is fitted?

I'm in the same predicament mate - just bought a PT40 and don't know whether to go for a vernier or not. In my case, I'm not planning on remapping it anytime soon, if at all! If you're getting it mapped then definitely go for one.

I might fit one anyway... leaves my options open. I'm looking at this one (http://www.bakerbm.com/106.php?data=vernier8v) - £93 delivered.

Doesnt look too bad that, just looked at your car build and seeing the work you have done so far to your car its a definate yes for ther vernier pully

That new rockercover really does set your engine bay off, did it come laquered so shiney when you bought it?

[Liam_]

haha, thanks mate. The car is quick enough for me as it is... just fancy doing something different as you hardly hear of anyone camming 8Vs. :)

Not sure bud, came back from the powdercoaters like that. Feels like a lacquered finish though.

yes as they will be a vernier (adjustable) pulley unlike the fixed standard item so you can get the timing perfect
