Wondering what cam to go for in my mini. This is a second hand engine I have bought but it requires a cam.

I have got fairly good results using the sw5 on a mildly tuned engine with conservative boost levels. Most peope rate the phase 2 as one of the best turbo cams, i have one for my next build |

Its a. Phase 2 all the way, ditch those 1.5 rockers and use 1.3 with that cam or ithe power curve. Will be quite peaky at various points in te power curve

First things first I would up the compression, 7.5:1 is going to feel very sluggish.

I'm considering the SW5 on a mild mannered Turbo engine am currently building. I have a phase 2 in my car, it seems very good, revs well, pulls full throttle from 2k, but not as civilised as the MG Metro Cam. Edited by alaskanow0 on 20th Aug, 2012.

Not bothered about it being a little sluggish As long as it goes like a scalded cat when on boost! Also how would you raise compression.? BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races! |

Yes that's true, but unless you plan on running 40psi there is no need for it to be that low, 7.5:1 is very, very low. You could raise that to 8.5: , and with an efficient intercooler and well set up, could still run 20psi, which is more than enough.

Intercooler sounds like the way to go seeing as I don't have one . Still very new to turbos. 20Psi is what I'd like tho Edited by madonminis on 21st Aug, 2012. BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races! |

I wouldn't expect 20 psi without an intercooler to end well... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

You NEED an intercooler for 20psi, might get away with it with 7.5:1 Audi s4 b5 - 470bhp & 486ft lbs

As I said in the first post I will be fitting an intercooler. Have every intention of fitting one before starting the engine. Lol...
