Headwork & Cams 16v. Opinions.

[big hp]

Whats peoples opinions of head work and cams to the 1.8 16v lump?

My best mate works at a porsche race team and has suggested cams and head work would give me what i'm looking for a lot less money then buying a F7R lump.

I can get head work done cheap through my mate who would also fit the cams.

This would give me a spec consisting of:- s/s exhaust, decat, filter, chip, head and cams.

Surely that work would give me the same figures as a standard williams lump, at a cheaper cost. (I apprecdiate a F7R produces power low down)

Has anyone had this type of work done? what did/do you think of it?

Cheers

I was thinking about this not too long ago, but now I've decided to keep mine standard-ish for a year and then move on to a whole new kind of car..

lol....i sooooo wanted to do the whole 2.0 conversion thing to me black valver all those years ago.........added it up what itd cost me, willy block/ecu/box/susp.....added that cost to the value of mine.....and came up with a few quid short of a willy......chipped in a bit more n never really looked back......as much as i enjoyed the valver, the willy just got all my attention......

dont think i could ever replace it tbh

I'm going to a different motor altogether

I prefer the option of 2.0 in a valver, rather then selling to buy a williams.

(gets coat ready) Willified valvers also tend to be faster then the real thing.

I just had a new rear quarter and door in the last 4 months where a drunk driver hit in while it was parked outside my mums. All genuine parts and my mate done a beautiful job. So bodywork wise its mint, so's the engine 81k FRSH just fancy a bit more power.

It's top secret for now. I'm planning the project out already! I'm stuck between 2 cars though, one would be more refined and newer the other cheaper less refined.
