the 266 pulls very well on my turbo 1380, but i only used it because it was what i had available at the time. cant complain about it tho. will keep using it.
doh! why did i start messing with it!

The important thing is a long exhaust duration. The turbo can push the air in OK, you just have to help the engine clear the exhaust out as easily as possible. I donated, but somehow didn't get the label! :( |

The 266 is a mild road cam which is an improvement on standard, but not that radical.

If you are going all out you want the P2 nothing less! What do u consider long duration? I always thought long duration was a no no n high lift good for turbo motors?? |

its well overated for a PERFORMANCE! cam IMO! Lets not get confused here..... Ive been messing around with turbo engines since I was 17, and one thing I have learnt, is turbos dont like big cams !!! But a major part of that big/small arguement is that small cams, dont have much overlap, whereas "big" cams for n/a engines, usually do. So dont confuse what you see as a performance cam for a n/a engine, as one that will be well suited for a turbocharged engine. I have the SW5 in my mini, and it works well as far as I am concerned. It idles perfect, will go WOT pretty much from idle in 4th, and it pulls hard to 7500rpm. I can only guesstimate possible power, but I'd hazzard a guess at around 180bhp. Mild cams work. Previous to that, I had a MG Metro cam, which also worked very well. ( both cams with 1.5 rockers ) So many other factors come into play, most notably exhaust back pressure, and with that what overlap the cam is running. I'd say the SW5 is working so well, simply because it doesnt have much overlap. I'd like to try something like a 260/260 on an LSA of 112-114 ( wild guess there ) Ive been searching around a lot for cam info, and all theory says widen the LSA for turbos. So why havent any of the Mini crowd tried this ? ( or has anyone done tsting ?? ) LSA's of 107 etc are full on n/a profiles. I mentioned elsewhere, i briefly tried a regular Kent 286 in my car years ago, and it was horrible. Perhaps that same cam on a wide LSA, with much reduced overlap, could work a lot better perhaps ??

I believe the key to the SW working well can not be seen by the basic timing figures, I believe it has a fast opening and closing ramp, so that effective valve area is higher than the 244 duration figures would be on other conventional lift profile camshafts.
