janis1568908554 Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Thanks for sharing!Great info.I only wish I'd know this when my engine was opened to replace the rods.My car is from January 2000, dunno if lifters are hydrolic or mechanical. My garage should know, they took the engine apart.Anyways, great thread! (just when I decided to stop tuning the V40)Janis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictorH Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Well, I still can't find anything clarifying the VVT differences. I guess the best way to find out is to visually inspect. Is it as simple as removing the plastic cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any left?Also, any changes after swapping on idle?From a crashed car here in finland.They where the only cams left in there. No change on idle after swap same vacuum -0.6bar before and after. Overlap difference is about 10degreed if you thought that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcode1568908558 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Rough idle was my only concern.Thank you for the info.Also, I was told that some Renault models such as Laguna, Safrane etc shares same engine as Volvo S40 (B4204S), so maybe camshafts from that cars can play the role?

tcode1568908558 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 If I install those cams, do I have to remap imediately, or I can drive my car safely for a copuple of months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes idle remains same. If those renaults really have the same engine then i think those fit also directly.B4204S -S40, V40 / Also: Renault Laguna 2.0 16V, Safrane 2.0 16VSiemens Fenix 5.1 FI100kW / 137hp at 6100 RPM (also 103kW / 140 HP at 6100 RPM)183Nm at 4500 rpm torque83 X 90mm /4-cyl. 16V1948 ccmYears: 1995-1999 You are right Renault used same engine. tcode wrote on Sun, 26 November 2006 23:31If I install those cams, do I have to remap imediately, or I can drive my car safely for a copuple of months?I have the same ecu program still and no problem.

I was hardworking tonight and I founded cams from B4204S for a 136¤. Will pick them up tomorrow, since guy have junkyard just a 25km from where I live. My plan is finishing tuning before next summer and starting some body work and styling. LSD is on the way, 16t or 19t will be soon, FMIC, bigger injectors (550 cc/min) and PhII MAF is what I need before remap. Please feel free to coment.

My plan is to take the original rods and clutch to limit and thats enough for me. So about 280-300hp. More than 300hp and you need to swap clutch and rods. 18T is fine for about 300-320hp with these cams. Phase 2 maf is enough for 340hp.You plan sound very good but if you dont want to swap those rods and clutch then you might want to thing about 18t.

Yup, I am aware of stock clutch/rods limits and I don't intend go further than 300HP too. Is 18t easier to adapt on stock mainfold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
