Cat Cams

[jmrenouf]

Hi all,

I have a facelift mk 2 Twingo RS133 which I and the whole family love (ok, less-so the wife, but the kids love him as I do). I daily drive him at present, but would like to start the process of turning him into something better for track use and maybe some sprinting/(very) amateur tarmac rallying. I've been chatting to K Tec and am about to pull the trigger on some obvious performance stuff, including a full decat system, their high flow filter for the box (better than an induction kit I understand?), and some cat cams which K Tec will be asked to fit and remap for in due course. Obviously suspension and braking will be getting significant attention too, but I have a question about the camshaft if anyone is able to help.

How road-driveable/smooth running will the Twingo be with these new cams? Also, they do a 01 version, and a 02 version with more lift and duration. Does anyone have experience of how 'liveable' on the road each of these options is?

Thanks in advance,

jm

Hey,

I have 2009 RS133 with 262/242 Cat Cams. Other mods are scorpion cat-back, high-flow filter in the original box and a tune.
262/242 cams are the "road" version, and they are really easy to live with. Idle is a bit lumpy and the "flat spot" is a bit more noticeable, but otherwise it is smooth as butter

here is an video if you are interested

Only 18months or so ago! What performance gains can you expect?
Sidenote.I have a sylva with a tuned cvh with kent cv23 cam ( yes that is correct) heavily worked head incl higher compression, twin 40s !!! Free flowing short single box exhaust and run it on 100 + octaine unleaded + terta boost and adj timing wheel.
Obviously the twin 40s make the most difference but how do these cams and timing differences work out please.
Thanks
