Westcost cam+head

6th June 2010, 16:56

Hi, I have a few questions I hope you can help me with

My car is a 1.4 westcost on a T reg. I am trying to make it a bit quicker but not increase the size.

1- Is my car a vtr1.4 as on some websites they list a vrt1.4 as well as a vtr1.6 ( kent cams )

2- Can you fit a vrt1.6 camshaft into my 1.4 westcost ( hopefully to make it rev a bit better )

3- Will a vrt1.6 head fit onto my 1.4 westcost ( i.e. better cam and bigger valves)

Thanks any input will be gratefully appreciated

1) pretty certain 1.4 vtr's only came from northern ireland etc. but essentially the same 1.4 engine

2) Don't think putting a VTR camshaft in a 1.4 will actually work due to the inlet / outlet etc.. you 'd need a vtr inlet etc iirc ( someone correct me if i'm wrong )

3) Vtr cam and head would actually make it worse because the VTR has a lower compression ratio to the 1.4/furio etc . iirc
