These cams require no modifications. Hopefully will have some Gtechs up tonight.

Dave,
Are you making custom cams for those 6 cylinders as well
Also, is the base circle changed, or is it maintained?

I haven't seen 935racer do 6cyl cams yet but it definitely can be done. The cam shop he's dealing with specializes in diesels and does many Cummins, Powerstrokes, etc. cams.
If you send 935racer a cam I'm 90% sure he'll get it done for you (with no core charge of course, because you'd have already sent him a cam). Is it from a Volvo 2.4?

Yes we can do 6 cyl versions as well but i have no cores so you will need to send me one they will cost slightly more due to haveing more lobes. Yes the base circle does change, not it does not have any adverse affects. There is plenty of preload on the lifters to ensure constant contact betweent he cam lobe and lifter.

No problem, send me a PM about this. I have several spare cams, so I can easily send one. Thanks Dave

im sure its probably pointless, but have u considered making a non-turbo diesel cam.... ive got a modified pump from giles on the way and im curious to see if i can get to 100bhp with a 1.6. the pump alone should get me to around 75bhp. im sure it will require headwork in addition to a better breathing intake and exhaust setup, but id still like to try it

hmmmm, I would like to try one of my custom cams in a NA diesel. Just so you know, all cams will be HYD lifter only, there isn't enough demand to make it worth my while to do a solid lifter version.

Dave I think that the NA would be a good candidate for the "BIG" cam like the race cummins profile.... :twisted:

Brett I think you are right on there, the big race cam would probably work great in the NA diesel. Hey I sent you a PM buddy, check it!

I must have missed this, Dave. Does that mean there's nothing for those of us with solid lifter 1.6TDs?

Well I should check the specs on the solid lifter TD ones before I say no, you likely could if you adjusted your shims accordingly. I'll get back to you guys about that.
Volvo cams, I am gonna get some prices on that. Definately doable, I would say around the $300-320 range you provide the core.
Chistmas specials on the regular TD cams guys. stage 2 is now $220USD with your old core. Your old core can be from a solid lifter or hydro and either NA or turbo. It just has to be in good condition, Don't send anything that is not something you wouldn't throw into your car and run.
