Cams going in as we speak, took the head off removed all excess wiring for the time being. new seals everywhere are goin on. Just about ready to lift old cam out.. watch this space and pictures to follow tonight :y:

iWish i had of cammed mine at the time bet it will be nippy :)

heads back on with cam fitted. timing and correction time ;)

how does it run

Am looking forward to your results mate, am also thinking of the ph3 and remap once ive saved the money up. Will be good to see your figures from the rolling road print outs aswel. Good luck and hope you get what your wanting to achieve.

not finished fitting yet Rich.. just timed it up.. so putting block back together along with all the sensors etc

everythings back together... just about to change the oil then start her up.. will let you know if she goes bang :P

She runs! Off for a test drive ;)

update asap bud:y:

Videos already! :) How lumpy is it running without the remap?

not very tbh!

Well we started work on the car half 9:45 this morning and finished at 7pm.. Here are the progress pictures from all day.


Starting with the equipment, newmans ph3, vernier pulley, new cam belt and new oil seal, and new gasket.

Standard engine bay prior to demolishion lol..

Few pictures of taking the rocker cover off.

Then the cam belt cover to expose the old belt which needs to be changed. Also took the manifold off for maximum movement around the bay.

Then off came to top block.

Block draining.

Old cam picture.

Some cleaning & polishing around the block.


Side of block cleaned and polished.

New cam fitted ;)

Bowl full of bolts removed.

Cleaned and polished bottom block

New Vernier Pulley fitted.

New Belt then fitted.

Top block fitted back and then timed up.

Throttle body replaced and rewired.


Everything back together finally:

First Fire Up:


Idle:

And inbetween waiting for parts to be delivered.. we had a play around with is VR6 and turbo ;)

hope you like :y:

Looks immense dude. Get these vids up ASAP. After our long chat, I hope this works out for you mate. What was the drive like, feel different? :fcuk:

EDIT: Sounds lush!!!!!

And a couple of things that kept us warm in the snow:
a jet heater and a naked chick :y:

Wow... idle seems really civilised for a fairly lairy cam. How does it drive?

Great tbh.. the throttle body and icv etc needs a clean at weekend and the tappets need doing again... otherthan that its mint :y:

Any noticeable improvement in power - worse or better than expected? No doubt it uses a bit more juice as well?

I'm really tempted to fit one of this without a remap tbh! Although according to the Newman spec sheet, the power band has moved up the range so raising the limiter to 7k would probably be a good idea.

mate your a legend doing all that!! Good work!! notice any difference with ya test drive then?

Only between 3.5k-7k revs yea.. the acceleration between those is more reactive, and when your proper giving it some it doesnt sound like its gonna go boom like it used to while thrashing lol.

put a £10 in, done 30 miles and just above light :homme:
cheers mate, was alot of work and graft tbh. wouldnt do it again!
ya can see some, gonna go out now and give it some on my 'private' road. :y:
lmaoo

Good work

7k?
its been mapped too?

well done liam:y: it seems to idle like normal imo? whats the rev gauge showing on idle?

yea can red line it easy.
and no not mapped yet.


when warm about 1300 :y:

thats strange?

Eh... if it's running on the standard map then it should redline at 6200rpm ish?

why is it?

Looks awesome mate.

Something I should of done with my VTR when I had it.

Nice progress.

Cheers buddy.
Cammed 307 ftw :homme:

Does it definitely rev to 7k rpm liam? Should be hitting the limiter at 6.2k if it's on the standard map. :wacko:

My clocks must be slightly out then lol

Cammed Diesel sounds fun lol.

haha never heard of one before... be unique :y:

loving the progress then you reckon its worth it then ? love the pully too

well not felt the full potential yet so i'll tell you when its mapped ;)
