what it says
got an A-cam lieing around, is it better than the one thats in it?

I've got a similar question. What sort of cam options do I have for the b19?

im guessing all the ones from volvo, so A, K, Vx3, H

I was wondering if there was a difference in the 2.3s - lifting the valves up more to let more fuel/gases pass? Or were the valves made wider to compensate? Or not at all?

If not, fantastic

I think the K cams are the most aggressive

A commonly found A or V cam will be a good upgrade to the B19. The B19 also has a slightly more efficient cylinder head than the B200's... I think from memory its the 405 head rather than the 530 head. Bear in mind you'll have to adjust the carb to suit. Does yours definitely have a B19 speedy?

I'm 90% sure, I'll know when it's delivered tomorrow. Taken so long to get my hands on it!

Sweet
My question still stands, what cam does the b200k engine have

Oops, sorry for hijacking your topic

Would I be right in saying the b200k has the H cam? Rings a bell. Better I get it wrong and someone correct me than no responce at all.

Most likely not, they usually came in the 242gt if im not wrong

How about making your own cam? CAD model into a cnc milling machine to machine the exact profile.

B200K has either L- or Y-cam as stock and both of those are pretty much the worst cams Volvo came out with.

A-cam is a nice all-around cam, suits well with a turbo also. A-cam doesn't loose the low end, but still gives power quite nicely at the higher revs also. Then there are V (moves the powerband maybe a bit higher than A) and VX which are quite similiar. VX is a combination of V's intake-lobe and X's exhaust lobe. (X-cam is the stock cam in B230K, nothing special, V is better). VX3 is same as the VX but it's retarded 3 degrees.

D and K cams are the "hotter" options. K is a bit more "agressive". (In quotations as these are still stock cams).

H cam is the hottest of the stock cams.

Interesting! Definitely bookmarking this one.

So it's a B200K?

I'd just go for an A cam, very commonly available from any 360 injection I believe. Me and Ali had a race (my old saloon 4 door vs his slightly stripped 3 door 360 GLT with V Cam) and it was a totally dead heat from a rolling 20mph to the top of 3rd gear. Although that may be partially down to LE-Jet not liking the cam upgrade

Fuse has summed it up nicely

Oh fack it! It's a 200k

Thanks for the replys!
Good to know
But i wont change to the A-cam yet, kinda got a full technical on my car as cops like it so good, full technical means that they check if its any goes through the norwegian mot in 2 years from now, and im guessing no.
