View Full Version : how many of us have your cams changed??????
Hi,,, just wondering if anyone has seen a change in speed my clio has noy changed much???? ( strange)
swaping cams will noyt have much of a increase.
When u remap the ecu to suit the cams the car comes alive :D
i was told that i would need vernier pullys so that the cams can be set up to ther max! do you know were i could get my ecu re maped??
pulleys will be best as u can fine tune the timing.
Where are you located mate.
N/West england - williamsclio recomend chipwizzards.
South - AWT (details are on the links page)
swaping cams will noyt have much of a increase.
oh? I don't know about that ;)
AWT then.
Ask to speak to Ben and mention williamsclio for a nice discount.
not sure if Ben is still away, but here's his contact details. I run his cams in my car and am very very happy with them.

is it really woth cams and a chip on a valver though?
thats like sayin is it worth havin a valver? get a williams! or course its worth it!!! 8)
stnd cams there the future :wink: lol I might be tempted towards the dark side of lumpy cams soon though :oops:
As much as i like the williams i wont change my valver for the world!!
Ive acctually raced a williams and left it behind,,,,,,,,
lol^^^^^^ he wasnt racing u tho lol.
northy.....the concensus is......that the williamsclio club recommends only chip wizards.......imo anyway.
lol
how are they set up????
just replace OE ones and are currently timed to TDC as I don't have my verniers on yet. that's being done beginning of next month however... watch this space...

Good lad. Me neither. Too common those willys.

Willy cant have been trying! Std willy will beat a tuned (cams and headwork) valver IMO. Sooo much more torque to play with....and thats just for starters!
BUT.. its not only the head and cams ive got done.....
My valver has been de cated, Viper kit, full system Exhaust.
Trust me you know when someone is trying :wink:

no it could have, remember these cars are old and some wont be running as they should and some will be running better than normal... but a good Willy should put up a fight. craigs old valver used to beat std Willy's iirc, well some of them anyway
surely its cheaper (or about the same) to get a willy conversion as it is to get a cams chip setup etc...?

Yeah but that's 2 things:
1: Cheating
2: Old hat. :wink:
Hey Serk! Bring your car into work in victoria one night and we can see how it fares against my hybrid :wink:
Saying about a valver beatihg a williams, i'm not far off the pace if Chris' (willy55's) williams, if i boot it a second or so before him he can't catch me till 80+ iirc
Aparently his car is running 185 ATF according the FCS mobilre rolling road with zorst de-cat and filter

How much are cams for a valver?
£400-£500? + fitting
RSi cam is around £200 ish IIRC

getting the power down a second before is a massive difference though mate, look at my vid against the Skyline R33 on track. On the straights where we get the power down he just pulls away, if I get the power down before him I'm right with him pushing along... doesn't give a real reflection of the power imo.
Plus your RSI is far from standard, for the amount of weight it has lost it may as well have 20bhp up on standard. it's the best mod for power to weight ;)

You won't notice much on a 1.8 with cams alone...its a little better with chip and cams but to be really noticable its all or nothing...i.e. headwork/cams/chip. Even then you'll need to be prepared to rev the nuts off it.
As for chipping, theres the places mentioned earlier and hillpower will do a remap suited to your mods.
