Available cams package

[Aydon182]

I've looked through a lot of threads now but all seem to be dated a fair while back.
Im looking to get some new cams in the next couple of weeks along with the whole cambelt aux belt and remap package, what's the best option to choose nowadays?

I've looked on 519 and K-Tec an the going rate seems to be £1200 for the 438's is there any packages cheaper than this? Also what cams fetch the best results, I haven't heard anything about Schrick or C&B in ages, is everyone going for the 438's nowadays?

I was told a while back you could get a package for under 1k but doesn't seem that way anymore?

Feedback greatly appreciated thanks,
Aydon.

under £1K? regrinds you can but i wouldn't

schrick are the best IMO, but so is the price tag!!

fitting wise with new dephaser, aux kit, cambelt kit is going to be £700ish - that's for EVERYTHING changed, but it depends what you need parts wise

How much for Schrick fitted and mapped?

And why is your opinion of them so good? They make good gains? What are they like to drive with as a daily runner? Elaborate please

cam's a cam really, i just prefer Schrick, bit like Tesco Value Vs Tesco Finest

you'd be nearer £2K by the time its mapped though

Tesco's finest is still s**t

Waitrose then posh boy!

Too expensive, Sainsburys is just right

 

[Aydon182]

I see, wouldn't want to pay that for a cam to be fair, so realistically if you were me with a budget of £1200 would you just go for 438's @ K-tec or 519 then? Or do anywhere else do the 438's cheaper? Or steer clear of 438's get a different type of cam? Discuss

 

[Fred@BTM]

where do you live?

 

[Aydon182]

Maidstone , Kent

 

[Fred@BTM]

bit of drive then wherever you go

 

[Aydon182]

Yeah, don't mind too much though just want the best value for money

 

[Aydon182]

So 438's?

 

[Fletcher]

^^^438s are getting impressive results.

 

[Dan519]

I can't see a reason for using anything but 438s on anything with stock internals. They're quite frankly brilliant

As a cost breakdown for you, you have:

Cams £594
Full belt kit change £450
extra cam fitting labour £45
Seals kit £30ish
Map £230
Matched inlets £230

that's £1579. £1499 as a package is quite good really

 

[Fred@BTM]

plus possible dephaser though eh

 

[Dan519]

still rare that actually needs doing. Seeing more water pumps fail than anything recently

 

[Fred@BTM]

we find them very common! 8 in the past 2 weeks! you must have special air down there or something!

Have a look on TDF and give them a call Stage 3 looks like a really good value option at £1300+vat to say that includes an exhaust! I'm sure they would fit 438's instead of the 428's if thats what you wanted http://www.tour-de-force.co.uk/clio.html Matt and the teams work is second to none and I would vouch for them all day long!

 

[Dan519]

I'm sure they would fit 438's instead of the 428's if thats what you wanted

i'm sure they wouldn't. They're exclusive

 

[BIGASH]

i'm sure they wouldn't. They're exclusive

Cat need to be a bit more careful then as they sent a pair for my engine by accident instead of the 421's
