Is it cam'd?

[ben2k5]

ive got a saxo VTS n im just wonderin if its cam'd cos its quite quick compared 2 most others, is there any obvious way of telling? mabee a performance cam has a lug or something a standard 1 doesnt? cheers in advance, Ben

[Barry123]

as you've already noticed that its apparently quicker than other vts's, the only stop the specualtion and know for sure would be to rolling road it dude. that'd tell you for definate :Y:

[CampDavid]

Most cams will have the profile number on the side. Its unlikely that it is camm'd, it'd idle like a bag of wank if it was.

Post up the graph you have and we'll be able to tell by where it peeks

[jezpick]

would it still idle wank if it was re-mapped though?

[hesslevtr]

no it wouldnt idle wank if r mapeed properly

[bloz]

Im pretty sure though that even re-mapped you would have a different sound when idling to a std VTS, because ppl noticed my VTR was on idle, but you should notice its far quicker than std vts because when I went in me mates 106 gti which is about 158bhp it felt like a rocket compared to mine. He is a good driver thought that may have summat to do wid it

[CampDavid]

True, though most Cam'd VTS's are on dasteks or standalone if mapped at all, if its on a standard ECU its unlikely its been done

[hesslevtr]

wouldnt it say on the cam itself somewere

you've already said in another thread you've had it r/roaded at 153@fly, you aren't hitting that on standard cam.

[williamsvts]

you can get it to idle fine without a remap, take mine for example.
kent and pipers have their part numbers on the end of the cam where the pulley is. catcams have it on the other end.

did i sell you a dastek soemtime in the last year? on ebay?

im sure i reconise your msn addy.

come on hessle switch on mate!

There was the 120 bhp vts and suppose to be some 130 bhp 1’z in the mk2 but not declared as that. So yours could be the 130 one but like some one mentioned you wont no for sure unless you rolling road it.

supposedly on x-plate with fittings for egr but no egr fitted. urban myth, never proven.

pah i never listen to you ;)

yeh i bought it on ebay in march but it fucked up about a month later so its standard ecu agen, it runs a bit lumpy but its not that bad, i was told the idle on a saxo vts is a bit shit anyway sometimes ill be sitting at the lights n itll go to stall then pick up again

sorry about the quality ive just taken it with my fone, if u need a betr pic ill scan it on my g.fs computer wen i get a chance.

[ben2k5]

ahha! closeup mode! much btr! lol

[Ratty]

looking at the graph the car is quoting standard figs e.g. 120 and 110 torque, so its standard. Like most operators they quote wheel but mean fly, as if it was 120 at the wheels id expect alot more in the torque and more mods so its all std.

[williamsvts]

as ratty said, that just looks standard.

[TERMINATOR]

ben dnt think ure is mate.have u raced lee`s 2ltr purple corsa?!my old two tone saxo was camed and it beat that.dont think u can beat him can you?

[ben2k5]

no they told me that is at the wheels and its 150 at the fly. i duno m8 i aint raced it, i wanted 2 race u! bt i didnt get a chance! lol

[williamsvts]

it makes the power a bit low in the revs to be cammed. have a look at them.

[Ratty]

its standard mate, proof is in the graph, if you want to go round and sound good to your mates in your standard car thats fine, but the truth is, its standard.

[CampDavid]

Yup, totally standard power and a totally standard powerband, give or take 5 brake

[williamsvts]

give or take 5 brake

i never knew you were a rapper damp cave??
