Cams in a 2.6
« on: 14 December 2009, 18:58:47 »
I see a few members have 3.0 litre cams in their 2.6's. What are the benefits of such a mod?
Can 3.2 cams also be fitted (are they not the same cams as the 3.0).

Mike was dynoed at 195 and I think he has a slightly blocked exhaust.

Mine has similar acceleration to a 3.0 I once owned.

I am pretty sure his original centre sections were mullered!

Thank you all so far.
Are 3.2 cams the same as 3.0 cams?

Martin. Does the fuel consumption suffer at all?

Not sure, being careful at the moment, but seems pretty similar

My 2.5 has 3.0 cams and bottom inlet divider.Once the revs hit 4k it goes off like a rocket and is a very noticable difference to its previous life.
Worth while upgrade,also a good time to change things around is cambelt/tensioner time as you are then most of the way there.

My gut feeling would be to not bother unless you wear a peak cap backwards.

Under what circumstances would they ever find out?

They would have to strip the engine - however my 3.0 inlet divider - I better rub off the 3.0 printed on it :-X
