is your spec still as it is in your garage?
if so i i'd say your money would be better spent elsewhere at this point (ie ecu/ebc for instance)

Hi.
Thanks for your post.
engine spec has changed:
Apiex Cammander with Fc
Engine control electrics changine to Mk3 spec
800ml Sard injectors
JE 86.5 mm Pistons
Eagle H Rods
Up-rated inter cooler and pipework
And the list gose on.............
What cams would I require to get the best out of the above mod's?
Bearing in mind that I would still like the flexability to drive on the road.

Turbo:
Fensport Stage 2 CT26

IMO a Rev 3 inlet cam will suffice.

Or go for the HKS 256/264 cams or Piper 264 cams.

Dose anybody know what the lift and durations are on std Rev 3 cams?

Dose anybody know what the lift and durations are on std Rev 3 cams?

i THINK
that the rev3 inlet cam is someting like 240 degrees and 8.5mm lift
exhaust cam for all rev's is 235 with 8mm lift

Why not consider piper cams , that is what i chose
i went for 264 ,with 10.5 lift .
i was advised that on smaller turbo's you don't want huge duration , but max lift .whether this is correct i am not sure

but for a rev 2 head with a ct hybrid l,ike v8 killer suggests a rev3 inlet cam will suffice
larger cams will only move the power further up the revs ,With a big turbo you would need the extra flow to get the turbo going ,but i would guess that with the ct26 that the cams may only yield small gains at the top end ,but sacrifice low end power

Many thanks 3SGTE
Your advice sounds good......
