Modern Day 276
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi Guys,

Can everybody recommend the Kent MD276 or modern day replacement. I have tried both a MD266 & SW10 (MD286) in my 7 Port, but am after something in between. The 266 seems to flat and the SW10 only pulls from 2.8k. Im after 2000-7000k. Im using 1.5 Rockers, 3.1FD.

Im willing to buy a MD276, but have read mixed reviews.

Thanks Matt

I ran a piper 285 in a 1330cc, i think it was called an ultimate road cam. Might be worth a look into that.

I know a fair few people running 276 cams and they wish they had gone for a bit more.

The 276 is a great cam in a 998, and maybe what you're after for your engine.

Will certinaly perform in the range you want and will work well with the 1.5s.

John K used an RE13 in his 7 port and that made power in the region you want to.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Anybody know the RE13 specs?

I was going to say RE13,

I assume your on the minisport/ webcon style head? in which case you'll be fighting a bit to get good bottom end due to the port sizes.

what induction are you on, webers?

Hi Joe, Webcon head 36x31, ports kept as small as possible, expect throat area. I was running 2 40's, but now got AT Throttle Bodies, & 60mm trumpets.

I've got my Turbo for scary power, am really looking for nice drivability, and long runs ie Iltalian Job etc but not boring

ah yes the clubman!

I have a Morspeed phase 3 which is reputed to be an enhanced Kent 276.

Kent Cams 274, loose the 1.5 ratio rockers.

I really like the re13 in our 7 port headed motors, I recommend it to everyone it's a very good duel purpose cam, with no real camminess but big urge from 1.5k. These GR designed cams are in a different league to the DV specced cams of the 80's.

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

Thanks John, which one the RE13OT or RE13PP?

In Australia the T on any GR cam stands for Turbo/forced induction.

The re13pp

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

the ones from Calver are "peak performance" and "optimum torque"

in addition to this he can get the wide LCA RE13T done, I have one in mine.

I like the RE13T in 5 port efi motors, 85lb/ft under engine dyno load at 1000rpm!!! 97lb/ft peak and 108hp - not a bad combo is it?
