[theflyingbrick]

^^first dibs please,I also need money for other parts but if the price is right otherwise ill tell everyone what you've been listening to on your I pod lol

[dant5r]

intake cam should be retarded by 4 degrees, exhaust cam should be advanced by 5 degrees

I thought it was recommended 2 degrees on both cam shafts

claymore pointed me to one of these, quite easy to use and you cant really get it wrong
mine didn't come with instructions, so took a while to suss out, but it works. very usefull if you have to put the pulleys back on

I found a post saying intake retard 4 and exhaust advance 6.5......im gonna keep digging until I find a definitive answer

Just to try and help?.....

I copy most info and save so this may help also look at the pic. for Volvo`s own chart of Cam Lifts on T engines they are more than you would think!!

You will have to use a conversion chart to compare the jargon!

Quote:
I think these are the numbers for hydraulic lifter heads.

T5
Intake:242 duration 7,95 lift
Exhaust:243.5 duration 7,95 lift

N/A
Intake:250 duration 8,45mm lift
Exhaust:252.6 duration 8,45mm lift

Piper
Intake: 248 duration 8,84mm lift
Exhaust:248 duration 7,87mm lift

As you can see, there is absolutely no point in spending £££ on Piper cams when the N/A cams give both a longer duration and higher lift.



Quote 2:

Cam timing is recommended to be set at -3 degrees intake and -2 degrees exhaust for stock cars. For cars with downpipe, catback,and intake or FMIC, set the exhaust cam to -3 degree.

For cars with N/A cams follow the above recommendations with the following changes; advance the exhaust cam 2 degrees and retard the intake cam 2 degrees.

From what I`ve read on that forum the normal setting for N/A cams is -2 intake and +2 exhaust

When I get round to fitting mine I`m going for 2 degrees on both cams

Hello, im wondering, is it possible that my NA cams are timed like stock (turbo) cams? I bought a car from my friend who upgraded turbo to NA cams and remaped car...but i just want to make sure they are good timed...
