Newmans cams or Catcams

[godfridge]

Anyone with results on newmans yet?

Can't decide over newmans ph3's or catcams 708's?! any advise??

piper and kent just seem so expensive

getting work started on engine soon so starting to buy the parts over the next few days

[belly_VTS]

im getin mine fitted nxt wednesday and remapped on the friday

[milesg]

out of interest how much are the newmans or catcams,

[godfridge]

email i recieved from catcams said VAT + delivery for vts cams by the way is £351.47, newmans cams is £300 + your delivery not sure about VAT

[godfridge]

interested on info on the cams for vts by the way . . .


also Belly what cams you getting fitted?

[belly_VTS]

its the ph3 ones mate, youve just missed out on a group buy that was happening, everybody got there newmans cams for £217 delivered

[milesg]

how much are piper and kent cams then mate, sorry for a slight thread hijack :y:

[belly_VTS]

im not sure on the prices of them mate, but ....
http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=79478

there could be a group buy on the cat cams, which should give you a rough idea

[godfridge]

keep us updated on your newmans cams and remap mate sounds a good setup you have! what model of newmans did you go for?

[milesg]

cheers mate

[godfridge]

also are ph3 fast road ones?

[bullit]

fast road means jack shit tbh. its the spec you want

[dan-iow]

i want fast road in my 106 gti, what would you guys recommend?? only have minor engine mods at the mo, exhaust, de cat and induction.

will i need a re map or a chip fitting after?? not to sure on it all really and would appreciate some advice!!

[bullit]

as above mate. you will need maniflod first, then remap. chips are poo

[dan-iow]

as above mate. you will need maniflod first, then remap. chips are poo

right so if i fit a stainless manifold, then cams. then i can take it to be re mapped to those mods??

do i need lifters or anything other than cams?? and were is good to take it for a re map?? (far south as poss!!)

cheers mate

[bullit]

yeah to those mods. just cams mate and cam belt "depends how much you wanna spend tbh", maybe fuel pressure regulator

chipwizards is the place to go, everyone drives miles to go there

[Toad]

Hi Dan. I think Chipwizards is the only place that re-map stock ECUs on the VTS/106, and they are up Leeds way... Here's what you should do I reckon. Contact a place called totalmotorsportsolutions.co.uk. you can buy the cams and manifold off of them, and then they will take your car to Chipwizards, where it will get re-mapped. I think for Catcam 708s, Supersprint manifold, plus installation labour and re-map, (Chipwizards charge them from the total bill) it will set you back around £1300 after VAT. ...So you just give the car to TMS and they do everything for you...

[dan-iow]

thats excellent guys, thanks!! what sort of bhp figures can i expect with those mods and the full janspeed exhaust and bmc induction i already have??

[bullit]

doesnt seem to bad that. i didnt know tms did that

[bullit]

many peeps see around 160 give or take.

[dan-iow]

and what cam profile have you guys found best with the vts's?? dont want anything to lairey but obviously i want to feel a difference for my money

[bullit]

catcams 708s are the popular ones at the mo, followed by the newmans cams. theres just been a group buy but noone fitted them yet so dont know exactly how they will do, although ive seen other figues but prefer to see them from guys you know. both above cams are really well priced aswell.
theres also a catcam group buy started

[Toad]

Yup... Dan, give TMS a bell. They use Catcams, and will advise upon 708s for your application.

Yeah Bullit - I took my car to TMS and left it with them for a few days... I live down south, so it was a long'ish journey, so was happy to do it that way. They took care of everthing for me.

[belly_VTS]

ill post me results up next friday when i get back, a big valve head is also getting fitted but it should give yas a idea what there like

[boz]

FSC have a group buy for cat cams 708s ;)
get your name down bud.

as already stated, i would only get cams after if had a decent enclosed filter, manifold, full system.
fit cams,lifters etc,new timing belt and maybe a 4.5bar fpr from gmc. then have it all re-mapped at chipwizards ;) should be 145 - 160 bhp depending on the condition of the engine etc.

[Steve]

:bump: this old mo fo

was on newmans site said the ph3's cant run on standard injection wtf that all about?
where did the group buy get the last lot as they were fucking cheap as chips to get.......... no way i would pay £300.

ph1's take are pointless just go for ph3s?

[jeeves_101]

it means you can have a remap and all is ok.

then if you want the ph4's or 5's, you need standalone with tb's or similar.

[Toad]

708s have had better results. I would go with them.

[Steve]

it means you can have a remap and all is ok.

then if you want the ph4's or 5's, you need standalone with tb's or similar.

so its saying ph1's basically dont need re-map.

was just curious to wtf they were on about.

Wonder if they would do another group buy :homme:

[leeroybrown]

Looking Foward to seeing what these newman cams do

Slightly higher lift then the cat cam ones

[Steve]

only thing i was worried about was mpg but belly was saying he gets better mpg with his newmans lmao

al just get what ever i can get cheapest :p
Not in a rush to get them, will probs be the new year, need to get a manifold, take my magnex off fit piper full system idealy or supersprint full system. then its go jonny go go

[leeroybrown]

Try a ashley

[Steve]

Try AN ashley

[belly_VTS]

[Steve]

getting it remapped again soon?

[Steve]

edit
raceland enclosed induction

[leeroybrown]

Suprised the BTB has made that much of difference

If it was throttle bodied yes

cammed errrr not sure

[belly_VTS]

i was canny suprised aswell. ill get it back on waynes rollers.

not gettin another remap like

[Steve]

Suprised the BTB has made that much of difference

cammed errrr not sure

i thought btb might have lost performance as the bore is 2.5 iirc

[Steve]

i was canny suprised aswell. ill get it back on waynes rollers.

not gettin another remap like

why not, thought it was all over the place and he was going to sort it out? get a decent intake :homme:

might see more power from a decent manifold to match the btb aswel!

[belly_VTS]

what do ya class as a decent intake like:p

itl just kill me to fork out another 475. only way id do it is if i got a omex, kms, emerald ect

[leeroybrown]

Get the new GMC manifold with the 2.25 collector pipe, would match you exhaust well

[belly_VTS]

thats the next thing on the list leeroy, are they stainless steel?

fancying swapping the newmans for 708s aswell. undecided

[leeroybrown]

can get mild steel to

NONONO stick with the newmans see what you get

You may be suprised;)

[Steve]

thats the next thing on the list leeroy, are they stainless steel?

fancying swapping the newmans for 708s aswell. undecided

why would you want to do that mate?????

decent intake, BMC with decent air feed or panel filter in standard box with the resinator box off or a proper green simota i dont like the raceland intakes :homme:

[Steve]

also thought he wasnt going to charge full price for the re-map?? Cos he couldnt get the timing to stay the same, 1st is to get a decent manifold though mate.........
raceland shit imo would only have one if got it for like £50 or sumit plus not see full effect of that btb still suprised its me its got an increase thought it was based more towards a turbo'd saxo

would have thought a supersprint system would have been better

infact get 708's al buy your ph3's

[belly_VTS]

ill get meself a gmc stainless steel 4-1, maybe a better intake . . . .see what the results are. its like redoin the whole thing again lol. if its still shit ill wipe out the newmans

id get a bmc stevey, its just finding a decent place to put the intake pipe.

[Steve]

i have just got one, think most people use the part of the standard intake on the slam panel. See what mines like when i fit it on saturday, also you need some bigger brakes :homme:
i just got some 206gti 266mm set up ;)
no matter how much power your car has you could never keep up with me NOT pushing it round a corner in my VTR :homme: you need to raise that fucker man.......

that was just me taking it easy lol it really was haha, normally my lass tells me off for going ever so slightly fast, and holds the seat haha
40mm ftw wel 35 imo but if want it too look slightly better then 40mm i would never go lower. mine seems to handle better 30 - 35mm than it did 40mm seems to be more grip....... rear drifts a bit but drivers side slightly higher at rear still to be re done.

i was going to stick with standard intake and take all shitty piping off but sourced a nearly new bmc at a good price, if its shit al just sell it, and then just have cold air feed to bottom of filter box with green filter :y:

[Steve]

what filter did you have mate :A:

[leeroybrown]

Vsport are sellinh BMC for £80 quid

Am sure a few years back i read in a magazine a modied air box was the best to have

Still think a ram air box is good, Pro Comp was the best to have

I had a bigger version to the raceland one with the green cotton filter as the standard raceland one is poo , which i do highly rate for the price

[belly_VTS]

what filter did you have mate :A:

was just about to ask that lol, let me know what ya think of the bmc then mate


leeroy, yours did fcukin fly last time i was in yours tbh.

was leeroys cammed?
i need a decent gearbox ftw ahha got to send another letter

[leeroybrown]

Was never cammed

It did go well

Still think the 2000 model is the best to have, takes the mods far better then a 2001 plus

[Steve]

[belly_VTS]

eg what me and belly have lmao

lol we suck

2000 models was suppose to be the '2 prong head' or summit, and single plug ecu

[leeroybrown]

single plus ecu 2 prongs and 1 lamaba sensor

[Steve]

2 prongs? read about it dont understand it

[leeroybrown]

yeah 2 prongs on the front of the head

basically what you EGR valve is screwed to

[mrtuck16v]

Belly you know the score....get a fooking PULSAR!

[Steve]

yeah 2 prongs on the front of the head

basically what you EGR valve is screwed to

ah right, wel if i take the egr valve off it should run the same? lmao

[Steve]

Belly you know the score....get a fooking PULSAR!

no joy would be like you cant get insured pointless :homme:

[leeroybrown]

still got all the euro 3 emissions crap in you ecu

[Steve]

still got all the euro 3 emissions crap in you ecu

ghey :homme:

[mrtuck16v]

I can get insured...just its pointless untill the saxo policy has run out.

[belly_VTS]

ah right, wel if i take the egr valve off it should run the same? lmao

lmao nar mate. 2 prong head is like......... inbetween the mk1 and mk2 engines. like they where getting ready to put the egr valve on....but didnt. suppose to have a better head but nowts been proven.


onli 1878 to insure a pulsar paul;)

[leeroybrown]

Pulsars do look dated these days mint

Hard to find one that hasn't been rebuilt 8 billion times or hasn't been thrashed to death

[Steve]

I can get insured...just its pointless untill the saxo policy has run out.

thought you couldnt get insured at all? thats why got a day thing, sure i seen yours on youtube, joesnow sent me it said looks identical as you have rare wheels or sumit

[mrtuck16v]

Pah mine looks similar to that one...hard to tell by just the side on veiw. Im not arsed if its been thrashed as thats what they were built for.
