    Zetec camshafts 'downgrade' / other options to doing this?

    in TechTalk

    Posted

    Hi All, picked up a new Caterham recently... As I thought might be the case the race focused 2l Zetec engine has a pretty aggressive cam and am now thinking ahead to potentially changing to more compliant cams for driveability/mostly road use... The car currently runs around 220hp, so am not too bothered about losing a few horses in exchange for better road manners.... Has anyone (more technical than me) done something similar? Any ideas how much hp would be lost? Any other thoughts/ tips, including what options might be out there, or even if just a re-map might help. Thanks all.

    Wheel/tyre advice please

    Hi all,

     

    I currently run a 135bhp K series Seven on 185/65/14 Uniroyal Rainsports.... However, this is soon to go and will be replaced by a 220bhp Zetec with LSD... This, slightly surprisingly, also runs on the same sized tyres, albeit Nankang NS2Rs... The car will be for dry fast road use only, but from reading various threads on here the car seems like it might be a bit under-rubbered at the rear. I'd like to keep running on 14s as ground clearance a bit of an issue (speed bumps in road).

     

    Supply of 14x7 and 14x8 wheels and suitable tyres seems limited.

     

    Any thoughts/advice please?
