And gav, you can improve the idle slightly by adjusting the cams but it is definatly going to require a remap with that much modifying for it to run correctly and produce best power.

I fitted new standard hydraulic cam followers but standard valves and pistons. Ph3's are fine to use with standard valves etc but some higher lift cams require different pistons to be fitted so the valves have enough valve to piston clearance. I would check the cams are definatly ph3's (should be stamped on the end the pulley bolts on) and if they are i would say something have been done incorrectly when they were fitted.

Nope didnt smoke at all, it is possible but they do quite often idle lumpy standard if one of the sensors isnt quite right.

I Never got it mapped in the end, sold the cams etc of seperatley and sold the car.

It feels like it pulls much better high revs in low gears but once in a higher gear (4th/5th) it doesnt seem that much different to standard. But that could be because i also changed my gearbox for a 1.4 xsi one which used a lower final drive ratio.

Its still unmapped now have covered about 300 miles in it unmapped has only cut out once and that was pulling up to a set of traffic lights.

Correct, 264.

And engine is lumpy because the fueling has not yet been adjusted or cams set up. Thats why the title is "unmapped" it is to demonstrate how they run before any adjustment is carried out.

What type of cams cause this noise? - As I want it lol

[Vtrcris]

I thought i heard ice the way that revs

[rapidmate]

what power you get? and did the plug into the diognostic plug to map it? the reason i ask is i dont have the diognostic connector as ive got the engine in a ax, and ive ordered some ph3s

[Richie106S16]

Have u already mapped the engine? How much HP?

I#M going to buy the PH3 with Airbox, sportscat, 4-1 Piper and sportsexhaust!

Lovely sound mate

when u got them fitted did you need anyother parts like valves or lifters? coz i went to get my newmans PH3 cams fitted but they had trouble turning the crank?
