Cams ?

anyone know what good cams I can get that is easy to get etc?

Iv been looking on here alot but there is no prices

http://www.catcams.co.uk/acatalog/Suzuki_Swift_GTI_1.3L_16v.html

The only set of cams which I could proberly use are number - 6700603

after that they are crazy high lift

what do you think?

Hi,

Can you not get Piper to re grind your cams?
You send yours and £200. You should be able to get either Cultus spec or a fast road spec.
What you are talking about may be a regrind and customs are solid billet ones. It may cost over £300+VAT...

Cultus cams I doubt will make any difference there only 0.5mm higher lift and they have the same duration as stock I think, Piper seem a pain in the ass because there isnt like a main supplyer

i emailed catcams years ago and from memory they wanted £440 +vat.

probably gone up now with 2days prices

yeh he emailed me back i think it was 439 plus vat fuck paying that proberly only get about 3 bhp more :/

if you want to play you have to pay...rome wasnt built by cheapskates...power costs.

Stav can re-profile cams with his dremel and I do a chip to suit

Fuck that shit with a dremel just pour sand down the inlet while its revving at high rpm. I guarantee the honda boys who know do it everyday and it gives instand port and polish of inlet and exhaust reshapes the chambers based on airflow...its optimum cause like water air takes path of least resistance so the sand blasts the right shape combustion chamber based on inlet and exhaust shape and combustion size. also does a nice job of waisted stem valves and reseats them too if revved hard enough. then get a 24 volt truck battery and install that instead of the wimpy suzuki battery. everyone knows 24 volts gives better ooomph to the electrical system so the injectors will inject twice as much 24/12=2 the spark will be twice as big to ignite twice as much fuel and of course there will be twice as much air cause the sand has opened everything up nicely. Its perfect solution and cheap, just dont go to a UK beach the sand (pebbles) is too course, you want that shit that comes out of iceland and cleans jet engines while in flight. but dont forget the revs have to be just right, too little and youll just clog te engine up, too much and the samd moves too quick to work. I think its about 9600 rpm. Dont need a camshaft then or a super chip as you go the best of all worlds. I swear its what F! guys used to do inthe age of seasoning BMW 4 cylinder blocks with piss and age.

Go for it mate.

Fuking LOL

so not only cast plenums in my sand pit, but use the sand port the engine as well... Sound advice mate

Does the sandross chip work well with this?.

Would the full race/rally cam be a high reving cam??

It might sound like a daft question but I am looking at the spare engine I have in the zukished and making plans.

I prefer a high reving engine as for some reason it suits my driving style. I think thats from years of racing in Mazda rotary powered cars where my engines were built (without sand porting ) to run at peak bhp between 6000 and 10000 rpm.
I just love high revs

Yer if u put some sand in the Eco and shake it about it cleans up all the connections making better spark more power lol

You will need to have solid lifter with that kind of revs.
You will need to change springs, too. ECU have to be changed to take out rev limit.

You need to change spec of engine, too.
Especially con-rod bolts if you are keeping std rods. You can change it to after market con rods so that you can rev it. You can use Honda pistons may be 76mm to have high CR, as well.

Good luck with it. Andy made similar engine with forged pistons. Ask him for his advice.

LOL Iv read on a forum once of a dumb ass with a corsa who acctully put sand into his engine

proberly going to get piper regrinds
