Schrick cams ; which profile ? (for 172 Cup)

[franx]

I can order some for a nice price , thinking of putting these in my Cup which needs new ones. Am i correct that the cam profiles for these are 280 and 288 (do'nt know which is inlet or exhaust but read this on ze German webseite)

These two numbers come very very close to my C&B cams (which are busted) , they had 280 - 286 profile. So my remap may also still work out !

Fred, are these the ones to go for ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

that's the ones!

Schrick only do one type of cams for the 1*2 F4R afaik. What happened to the C&B cams?

This... a guy from work had a mishap with it, i think a missed gearshift and then a full throttle after sending the rpm's skyhigh , with floating valves to follow, valves hit pistons, roller-rocker (follower?) actually broke a piece off of it and budged itself between the cam i think by the looks of them.. He never confessed to this but this must have happened. He was supposed to pick up my car left by the road with a dead alternator. This is how the car came back :S

that's the ones!

Thanks Fred , i know you were a fan of these. Are you still ?

I'm just hoping to run these without needing a totally new map, maybe tweeked a bit

ouch....

why not have the engine (re)built in the UK....will probably turn out cheaper than here in Holland (labour and parts seem cheaper there)

^^ i was about to do this haha ! Yeah but getting there and back will put you back some $$ too.. I remembered Henk telling me about a good guy at which he get's things done when needed, so called him up and well, there i am now! He's supposably friendly priced and highly qualified for these Renaults. You should see the cars he's got there, nice

I like henk for his technical stuff...but don't trust him as a salesman.....

but he is very close to where I live....all I use him for is the belts though (actually want to have a go at doing this myself oneday)

^^? what's that got to do with ehh... never mind, forget it.

 

[franx]

Fred you think the cams will run on the C&B map which i'm running now (till Henk's back?) , just to be able to drive it to the shed and back ? It's not my daily driver..

ANd Were they difficult to get right ? Or are they pretty much plug+play, with map to suit+perfect ofcourse ?
