preliminary 2.8 cam info....some slightly interesting stuff
 

Nick G and I measured that the 2.8 USA cams have about 0.043" more lift than stock and the 2.8 Euro/RS4 cams have about 0.030" more lift than stock...

so, I put the USA cams in my car and checked the airflow out...19-20 psi peak tapering to whatever k03's do on my car...say, maybe slightly less than 1 bar.

i have no idea if the duration is the same. i bet it is, but who knows. the car runs fine, though, there is a hiccup from 3800-4200 rpm now.

anyway, it LOOKS like I have a slight gain from 5600-5700 up to redline where the airflow doesn't taper as bad. Regardless, I'm on POS original k03's and can't believe I went through all of this :p

If I figure anything else out, I'll post. Docslow mini-person and I are supposed to meet up and go over things since he and I pretty much have the same car but he is on stock cams.

no comment.

my only comment...probably doesn't do any good on stock turbos :p
 

what a PITA!!!!!! just for that. lol

Time for us to put RS4 cams in my car and do a comparison :)
 

Honestly, from looking at your logs, I don't see any difference whatsoever in the shape of the airflow curve up high.

Well at least you got the tb done right? I fricking told you to do the k16s while you
 

were there. ;ppp

Maybe if a special *someone* would send us some k16's, we'd put them on his car....
 

timing belt?

i think i'll be hoping that my car lasts!
 

:p

Please delete this post before Troy and I vomit.

well, i don't think it went in a negative direction or flatlined as bad. oh well! we can do whatever
 

but i have to get ready to leave for CO

I should probably send you my log to compare, eh?
 

YGM in a few, porky
