Re: Camshafts (non stock)

Thanks for that. Very helpful & shows the torque holds up.

Re: Camshafts (non stock)

Also, if anyone has a damaged cam of this spec with at least one measurable lobe, please let me know.

It’s a stretch but you never know.

Re: Camshafts (non stock)

Thanks Keith, I did wonder what you were using.

86A has a bit more duration without pushing the lift so far. So imagine it’s got less aggressive ramps.

If you have a dyno chart I’d be interested to see the torque curve shape (actual numbers is less important).

Camshafts (non stock)

Hello. I’ve got a project type4 engine which I’m collecting parts for. My current thinking is to go with a small capacity turbo engine but I do have both the 1.7 & 2.0 cranks to choose from. Im always looking to maximise the performance to cost ratio so won’t be going that extreme. The biggest p...

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day

Ideally it will get a turbo too (Ruf fanboy who wishes he’d bought CTR#29 when I could have afforded it) but finding a way to package the intercooler discretely is tricky.

Re: KS's hillclimbing odyssey

The bugpack one is NLA. CB Performance do one with small gears (21mm on the pressure side). There is a nice but expensive German pump from TP. Fitting them behind the stock cooling fan shroud might be a problem. I think Jim C also had the original Salzburg rally pump remade but that was designed for...

Re: VW Type 25 Engine rebuild recommendations

Have a look at campershack on Facebook. No personal experience. However they are used to the problems with getting parts for those engines (camshafts are unobtainable in the correct spec for the DJ and rebuilders do throw in the 1.9 cam which isn’t the same). Similarly, the clips on the rocker shaft...

Creality Ender3 V2. With 2 upgrades, the Creality “touch” probe which maps the surface of the bed to allow for imperfect level and the Creality “spider” HotEnd which can be run at a higher temp for the Nylon filament. It’s definitely hobby grade & needs careful setup. It’s has a well supported c...

Re: 3D printing

Another small design. The OE centre caps don’t fit over the spindle nut so I needed a design with clearance underneath. You can see the nut problem here. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230805/8ebeb26cc9b487b22a8f30f46405cfff.jpg Few measurements & a bit of cad .. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn...

Re: KS's hillclimbing odyssey

Are you running sequential injection or batch fire? CB Performance do a cam sync that fits in the distributor bore & gives you that option (hall sensor, so falling trigger signal).
