best cam/manifold/filter for 1.4

[jamiep]

Iv decided on tuning my 1.4 instead of a vtr conversion so whats the best cam, exhaust manilfold and filter to buy? iv already got full system with decat so with all these should i see off a standard vtr?

yeah as Bullit said, you'll beat one lol!

think there was a guy on here who ran 110bhp from his Furio get a wild cam like catcams 708, a decent manifold like a Raceland and a Green enclosed and with the mods you already have your probably looking at about 110bhp too

Iv just found this piper cam....

FASTROAD- Powerband : 1500-6500rpm ; Power increase : 10bhp
Inlet duration : 258 deg ; Exhaust duration : 258 deg
Inlet valve lift : .422"/10.71mm ; Exhaust valve lift : .422"/10.71mm
(Valve lifts quoted assume a rocker ratio of 1.75:1. )
Timing (Inlet open - close) / (Exhaust open - close) : 15-63/63-15
Inlet full lift (ATDC) : 114 deg ; Exhaust full lift (BTDC) : 114 deg
Valve clearances : Inlet = .008"/.20mm ; Exhaust = .010"/.25mm

Any1 know what all this means and if its any good? Where can i find a catcam 708? cheers

well from you r westcoast your getting 75bhp and a mk1 vtr had 90bhp(mk2 had 98bhp) i think and so to beat a mk1 you need around 20bhp than you already have, so a enclosed induction, with a green filter, a after market manifold from a place like Kamracing, that with a full exhaust system should add around 10-15 bhp, with a quickshifter you should then be able to see off a standard mk1 vtr.

cams will mean the car needs re-mapping aswell mate so thats going to cost around £400, and its just not worth it on a 1.4 IMO, you could buy a vts engine for that, even though I know as you said thats not want you want to do.

would stick with one, but VTR would do it top end! if you want to leave a VTR then you'll ned to cam it mate tbh!

that cam above ain't too bad imo! but im not too hot on cams tbh, so im sure one of the more experienced members will pull me up if im wrong!

[bullit]

i wouldnt go piper mate. catcam or newman have better profiles. will need pulley and remap too

[andyvts98]

if it was me i would just put vtr in let cam injectors and ecu on the 1.4 block

[jamiep]

Iv found 2 catcams cams, one is 258degree and the other 267. would the 267 be wilder and more performance? ye i will be having a remap sometime in the future.....

[milesg]

mate sorry for a bit of a thread hijack but what wheels have you got mate i like the look of them, and what size? cheers mate

you cnat get 708s for your car, they are vts cams.

If budget will cover it I'd get a Supersprint 4-2-1 exhaust.. failing that a Raceland will be more than up to the job

[Aron]

whats the best air filter for the 1.4?

[jamiep]

iv got 15s in the garage waiting to go on mate.....is the catcam better than piper?

[S34MER]
