It will be stamped into the oil pump end.

ABR002 or something to that effect

nothing stamped in....... no markings

are the lobes on camshaft bigger or/smaller than normal?

it'll be on a regrind, i think, so should have a smaller base circle. If the others arnt re-grinds you should be able to identify it this way. Otherwise you can measure the difference between the lobe and the base circle to give the lift of the lobes, this will be dramatically bigger than any std cam (if the others are std items), or at least different from other manufacturers camshafts.

I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

so...correct me if i'm wrong....the lobes shouldnt be "sharp" ...a phase2 has a more and longer lift ??

The ph2 has massively more lift than any std cam, so indeed should look 'sharper', but the only real way to tell is to measure the angles and/or duration, though you could probably decern the cam from the rest by measuring the lift.

sorry for beeing a noob....but how do i measure it correctly????
if i measure a std cam ( i think its std) then its 28 mm width and 34 mm high.
The phase 2 ( again wich i think it is) is 25 mm widt en 32 mm high an looks a lot smaller and sharper.

All the cams i have arn't installed yet

tnx

Put it in the engine,you will tell what it is when you come to set the cam timing

Metro turbo weekend driver,Mini turbo in the making again!

.....ok will try that ....but before i do so...
If a cam looks sharper, and the lobe measures lower....then the lift and time off lift should be less??????
or am i thinking the wrong way around?

Hi, onde dillema, witch is best, T2 of avonbar or moorspeed.
anyone use morspeed cam?

i would go for the avonbar phase 2 cam
you wont go wrong!!!

the Avonbar phase 2 is the cam to get

Edited by Rod S on 12th Sep, 2008.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

Me again,
the price of avonbar cam Phase is £205
and morspeed Te turbo Hight boost is only £65, why the big diference in the price, is the phase soo much superior?

Regardsa Daniel

its because avonbar now only supply billet camshafts as it is becoming very hard to get hold of standard shafts to re-grind.

i think...

i think the price you have quoted from avonbar for the phase 2 camshaft is for the full kit,
ie camshaft, cam followers, lube possibly a timing disc where as the price quoted for morspeed is just the cam, i think i payed about £62 for my p2 from avonbar

i had the phase 2 in my build dont have anything to compare it to but i liked it :)


EDIT: just been on the site, and looks like James_H is right although if you have a cam to send them they will have it reprofiled for you:) keep an eye on ebay they come up all the time for about a £5er
