Anyone know what these are - Saxperience

264 duration, 9 mm lift, I've seen them give 157 bhp @ 6900 rpm and 130 lb/ft at 5200 rpm on a JP4 (110 bhp) engine so probably a little less (or more, unsure) on the J4 (120 bhp) engine.

What cams are they?Would they be worth putting in my Vts and apart from remap is there anything else id need to do?

Are they second hand? If so, what have the come out of? How much are you willing to pay for them?

You can't put any old cam shaft in your car matey. How do you know that they are correct for VTS???

MaRiO89 · 30th June 2007, 12:22

400 euro's is more like £230

Ask Google: "400 euros in GBP"

400 Euros = 269.025487 British pounds.

These cams really worth all that mate?

MaRiO89 · 30th June 2007, 12:31

I was almost right..

Toad · 30th June 2007, 12:34

Good point chaps! For a VTS, £300 is a ballpark figure for a decent set of Catcam's or Piper's...

Realy, I didnt know that.I got a price over here in Ireland for Ecu(not mapped)and a set of brand new cams iv never heard of, I think they were called 205's or something fitted for €2500.Which I thought was a joke.What would you pay for cams, say catcams and my standard Ecu mapped?Any idea?

Toad · 30th June 2007, 12:48

I've already answered you cams question already...

Mapping your standard ECU is somewhat of a black art, and Chipwizards is really the only place I'm aware of. I'm sure there's somewhere in Cheshire too, but they are not as reknowned in the Saxo / 106 genre. Anway, you'd be looking at about £450 for a full map from Chipwizards.

Do chipwizards have a website?

hey steovts thinkin of taking these off daren then lol

i dont think there is anywhere in ireland to get remaps done, and replacing cams is a big job

stiffler69 · 30th June 2007, 19:24

not quite sure why people keep saying chipwizards is the only place to get a remap done told people many of times automark in teesside does a great job he done my vtr and got great gains and is around £100 cheaper than my chipwizard fella who i think personally is a bit of a rip off i got the map done for £290 plus vat and was done on a rolling road

Nah mate, just wondering what they are,thats all.I wouldnt buy second hand cams and they arent that hard to fit apparently byt I want them done properly and for the remap, Westward engineering do it but its big money.I wouldnt realy trust anyone in Ireland to do a remaps as I dont think they know enough and thats why il be going over to the UK.

bullit · 30th June 2007, 20:25

for that price catcams arent that much more for brand new so wont be knackered cause if your buying second hand you want to know what to look for if knackered

Yeah nice one, im defo going to get brand new ones and im gonna go over to the UK as Ireland is terrible for this stuff and when you actualy find the parts you want its very expensive

Steovts · 1st July 2007, 14:08

Toad · 1st July 2007, 14:59
