omichaelshar Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I need to make a decision about what camshaft to fit to my reco'd 4.0L engine. I would be interested to hear opinions on what is a good choice for this project. Some of the details are still being worked out, but heads will have porting work and std values; induction will be using "breadloaf" style plenum, probably Megasquirt II MAP, EDIS ignition. Exhaust specs not yet determined.Feel free to launch in with opinions and comments...OwenSydney, Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I am not an expert on the RV8 but I would pressume a mid lift, torque biased cam, as the RV8 seems not to respond to well to a wild cam :-/There must have been a good reason why they put it in a Land Rover after all ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedyblue Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 One big question is use. Is the car a daily driver, weekend cruiser in for the odd track day. Could be worth your while to ring up a cam manufacturer and talk to them about the engine and what you want it to do. Going through some old Street machine mags would be helpful because they discuss cams a bit in there too. Good luck with it, wwe need more little V8 rockets in Oz!!

tarbaby Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 i rang around all the well known cam manufacturers in ozand the only one remotely interested in what i wanted was Dean Tighe at Ivan Tighe cams in Brisbane(lost the number sorry) hes had experiencewith Rover v8 cams in differing engine capicities and made me upa cam to suit my engine (fully worked 5.0 litre) i was a bitsceptical with the specs (pretty wild) but it works brilliantly!!

omichaelshar Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 Thanks all for the comments. The car will be used as"weekend cruiser in for the odd track day". I will make some enquiries around the traps and see what options come up from suppliers and post the result once decided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I would consider a cam such as the viper hurricane, I think this would suit your needs well, without making the engine too "peaky".Badger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omichaelshar Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 Tarbaby, where abouts are you located? I ask as I would love to see as wild 5L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
