As above. Are the 3.2 cams the same os 3.0 cams ?
If not are they an upgrade for the 2.6 the same as 3.0 cams are an upgrade to the 2.5 ?  :-/
Tia.

[The Red Baron]

was wondering that myself, if theres any benefit putting the 3.2 cams in a 3.0l. 

[albitz]

And if so is it better to also have the 3.2 inlet fanimold and sandwich plate ? :-/
Or to put it another way - are any of the parts from the 3.2 worthwhile as upgrades for any of the smaller engines ?

Intake manifold and splitter is the same as the 3.0. TBH, the cams probably are, as well, but I haven't ever actually compared them.

[albitz]

So it wouldnt cause a problem fitting them to a 2.5 or 2.6 Kevin ?

I would ascertain the differences for certain before risking it (has it been done before?) but I suspect it would be fine.

At the minimum, measure the lift and make sure it's not massively increased.

I have a feeling the 3.2 uses unique cams...  ...somebody needs to check EPC

3.0l uses 2 A cams and 2 G cams.

[albitz]

OK thanks Kevin.

[albitz]

And Jammy. ........might be a question for Mr DTM ? :-/

I'm not very good at EPC .. but

It almost looks to me that the inlet cams are the same but the exhausts are different ??

 :-? :-? :-?

[albitz]

The plot thickens. I can see this becoming a challenge - who knows about which cams and what are they interchangeable with ?...........and what are the benifits when they are changed.

Nige PM on its way, regarding another matter.

[Marks DTM Calib]

Inlets are the same, exhausts are different (but as we know, exhaust cams dont do that much)

[albitz]

Excellent, thanks Mark  . So it would be ok to fit them in any of the smaller engines ? and presumably similar gains to putting 3.0 cams in a smaller engine?  :-/

Yes.

The exhaust manifolds also help a bit (off the 2.6 or 3.2) but require a minor mod to the downpipes.

[VXL V6]

Be better taking the 3.2 exhaust manifolds off and putting those on a 2.5 / 3.0
