'T' Cam required - Page 2

Understood! Yes, you're absolutely right - a T-grind is the standard replacement for all redblock turbo engines with LH2.4 management...so 1990+ B200FT, B230FK and B230FT. I have one in a head (which is provisionally sold) here, but the buyer might not want it, as it's for a performance application. I can ask the question if no-one else is forthcoming.

cheers

But B230E engines from a 740 used to have a bit more power becouse of the VX cam ...

As far as I'm aware, the VX and VX3 (seen both, strangely) were a more tame hybrid of the V (intake lobes) and X (exhaust lobes) fitted to the B230FB in early 940s. It's an emission-spec cam, and the likes of iPd only sold it as an upgrade for cars subject to smog checks in the US (primarily California) as an upgrade over an M.

Hi Monkeh, I have a spare T cam, in good condition, taken from a low mileage engine, yours for the paltry sum of a tenner if you wish
