More power with new cams?
« on: 20 November 2008, 09:29:31 »
I've seen several topics about putting 3,0 cams to a 2,5 engine to get some extra power. Does anyone have any idea will this work also with 3,2 cams in a 2,6 engine?

Thanks for the info. Any idea which will give more, putting 3,0 or 3,2 cams? Or are they the same?

3.0 or 3.2 will be fine theyre the same "G Cams" you dont really need all 4x as the Vectra GSi only uses the Inlet and uses standard A cams for the outlet

I thought the X25XE needed all four?

This suggests the opposite. http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152565319

At the end of the day, though, you want to end up with A cams for exhaust and G cams for inlet. Best to source a complete set of 3.0 / 3.2 cams and use the "A" cams if you don't already have them. I have only done a cam change on one X25XE, but I'm pretty sure it had E and F cams to start with. :-/

You've just done the cam cover gaskets, haven't you? Would have been a good opportunity/excuse/diversion. (delete as applicable).  ;)

Every 2.5 I have done has had F and E cams....including both of mine and the pile of spare cams I have in the garage and not the A and G cams used in the 3.0  :y

Was an emergency before I fried the coil packs - I don't have any cam tools.

Still burning oil though (valve stem seals) :(

For the 2.5 the stock 3.0 cams give better lift and duration than 'race' 2.5 cams from Piper
