RS133 / Wind 1.6 K4M cams

[maggi200]

How will these work with the VVT?

What other changes will be necessary?

How will these work with the VVT?

The idea is for them to still work with the VVT as a direct swap

What other changes will be necessary?

If they are like most engines, there will be a couple of profiles which would be a direct swap. Theres likely to be some more agresive profiles with high lift and designed for higher RPM which would start needing things like deeper pockets in the piston crown to accomodate the lift and give the valve head some clearance and solid lifters to cope with the higher RPM... However bottom end work would probably be needed as well if your going over 7500 on a regular basis

As an idea, heres the ones for the non-VVT K4M-700 series

The piss was taken ages ago

I don't have face book bud and seriously they still haven't sorted anything yet

 

[maggi200]

THe longer they take though, the more likely they are to be available and sorted when my warranty comes to an end and then I'm likely to buy them :lol:

Cat back, proper induction kit and cams and I'd get them remapped and sorted at RS Tuning probably would be the plan.

But for the time being I've only done insurance covering 'decorative exterior modifications' and 'filter' so I'll need to wait whatever (By which time the warranty's up anyway

 

[frediiii]

it's just ridiculous. all that "already ground" "just needs hardening" "waiting for status update" crap... they should just admit they didn't even start taking neils head apart...

 

[JE_GT]

Just read that Facebook conversation... what a joke lol, I'm struggling to wait 8 weeks for my Shotgun Certificate.. let alone 8 months for some Cams lol

Matt Sav- First cams being ground next week so should be ready in 2 weeks time (they need heat treatment).

Oliver Seegmüller- If they are working as good as the 2704 I have in my K4M, they are clearly worth waiting.

Neil Purdie- Hey Matt. With the above delays, TBH, I'm not at all surprised now. I think I've been more than patient with what you expected to be a 12 week job, so heres a months notice to return my head, as I still want to have some work done on it. With all the measuring and profiles apparently done, that should give enough time to grind some new ones and test fit them. Either return it by 20th Nov, or send me a replacement. Thanks, Neil.

 

[singlespeed]

a reply already :!:


Matt Sav- No problems Niel. Sorry for the delays, a combination of people off on holiday, 1 machine break down and a major overhaul on others has put us completely behind schedule

Why didn't he say anything earlier? Him delaying telling you that means it now looks like he's taking the piss well and truely?!

*EDIT* just seen what you wrote on FB!

 

[singlespeed]

Neil Purdie- You could have told us earlier, which would have probably saved me feeling like I should have gone elsewhere

"Didn't know" Thats shocking realy when one part of a company hasn't got a clue about major delays in upstream work

 

[benmc]

Gees piss take that! Hope they still get sorted though

 

[waitey]

That is really really bad for a company to have no idea what's going on.

It's not like you're being unreasonable either.
