Easier to just have someone host the PDF & have a link in the pinned thread of this forum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilber33 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 That's really interesting. I guess I know a little more about them now...I think. Without that tool, how do you know how much a degree is? Are there grooves or something when you adjust them cams? I set the cams at the stock turbo settings, which is about 4º adv EXH 0º INT Where in your power band benefited most from those settings? And would those be the same general settings for an 850?

And would those be the same general settings for an 850? I wouldn't touch the cams without a tool that will tell you the degrees. Hussein said that those are stock settings, so with that info N/A cams have a longer duration so that means he would see his power band moved higher up in the rpms.

Use this I had the exh set @ 7-8º ADV, with the int @ 3º ADV but I moved them back when I was trying to eliminate variables for another issue. I need to advance them again to see if I can get a little more low end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilber33 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Has anyone else tried to replicate those? It looks like it should be fairly easy, but with out that tool you have no way of knowing how far your advancing/retarding the cams.Thanks for the email btw.

Account_Deleted_T5M Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 I just did my timing belt a few months ago, i now have a set of NA cams, what's the easiest way to take off the timing belt? Do you have to under the tensioner and pulley again? I have a manual tens. on my t5m not a hydraulic. Also do you use a cam locking tool or can your just realign. Just did the timing belt, water pump, hyd. tens. / pulley etc/serp belt on my 850 what a PITA took 4 hrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bum2kev Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 just take off the tensioner and slip the belt off. its easier with the cam locking tool but you can do it without it. just check and triple check the markings if you dont use it.

L8 APEKS Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 For people who have spent enough money on bolt-ons to reach the "stage" where we're swapping cams, I'm very surprised there's no before/after dyno on this subject. I would be willing to do another before/after dyno with the N/A cams. However, I'd only be able to either (1) the intake cam alone, or (2) both intake and exhaust. I couldn't compare both. Was there a specific year on the N/A engines which had a more aggressive cam profile than the others? I know in the VW 1.8/2.0L 16V engines, before a ton of cams were commonly available, a common upgrade was the Euro intake cam. But this was only a gain of 6-7hp at most. Some VW guys also used the exhaust cam as an intake cam. The other thing I noticed was that this was a very mild performance upgrade, and if there was going to be any port work at all to the head, then the Euro intake cam would have to again be replaced with something a little more aggressive: http://pweb.jps.net/~ericb/newmods.html So...anyway...does anyone have a dyno that shows JUST the difference in power from just a cam swap??? I wish there was a bigger aftermarket for the whiteblock here; VW VR6 cams can be had for $234.95 now for a pair. That would be so nice to get 10-12hp worth of cams for $230 bucks!!!
