I used to run the same stetup back in the early years and it worked well 🏁Head was done by sport cam with special swirled valves.Used to eat the turbos 😂🇿🇦
@@ritchiesridemk1vwbuild853 Hi sorry I think the owner passed away,but what help you need? Porting and flowing the head is something I do and engineering gets done by Mario at Motor Masters.
Why is the 288 heavy on fuel? I'm using mp9 unfortunately I have to remove map sensor to drive since it doesn't want to rev when map sensor is plugged in 😢
Hi sello. Reason 288 cam is heavy on fuel because the cam lobes is bigger so it allows more air and fuel into the motor. If your engine doesn't have low end torque it can also make the 288 work harder to make power.
Hi, i have an 89 Golf GL with a weber 32/34. I want to upgrade the camshaft from a mk3 GTi....is it possible and how much HP can i expect?.... stock is 90
Hi there. You are going to have to tell me do you have a 8v or 16v. If you run 8v just do a 276 cam perfect for daily drive. If jou want more power go with a 288 cam. 16v then you can run 276 inlet valves outlet valves can do a 288 cam.
@@ritchiesridemk1vwbuild853 Thanks for the reply, ....it's currently an 8v Golf gl, ...I bought the MK3 camshaft already. I just want to know if it's worth swapping in for a bit more power.... thanks 👍🏾
OK mk3 gti you have to find out if it's a std cam. If so then you won't gain alot of power. Let somebody have a look at the cam they will tell you size of the cam.
@@ritchiesridemk1vwbuild853 Oh, ok, I thought I would get an extra 10/15 ponies at least, with the camshaft, Weber, gti exhaust and air filter.....and better mid range 🙄
I use 264 cam 10.4 valve lift with adjustible vernier pulley on my 95 polo 1.6 single point injection goes very well because there is lots of modifications for more power: sport intake, sport exhaust system, 4-2-1 collector, iridium spark plugs, chip..
Hey there where are you based , I'd like you to help tune my weber carburetor on golf 1.6 (HM) im running a 276° cam and viper (4 into 1) banana branches and stainless 57mm pipe with only one back box. I am based in Pretoria Mabopane thanks
Hey there , was just asking my Vernier pulley doesnt have a plus and a minus so i was asking if i want acceleration which turn should i go to clockwise or anti-clockwise
Hi there. Sorry for the late response. If you don't have a plus or minus. If I can give you advice pls take the car to a dyno that guy is going to set that pully 100% right. You going to gain power will see.
Hi there. You cant set timing on a 288 cam. Get engine timing perfect first. Need vernier pully to find sweet spot, only way to get that is on a dyno!!!!
This video is pure gold!
I prefer the 276 for better fuel consumption cause hey PETROL IS $$$$
With my 1.6i I prefer low end power as my car is not made for top end speed anyway but that little extra pulling power yes that's what I need
I've got a 288 cam in my mk 1 and it pulls very nice

I have 276 and 32 weber on my nissan 1400 and it's awesome
I prefer torque over horsepower it's way more fun to have acceleration than top speed
Awesome information thanks
Hi on a 276cam what is the sweet spot degree mark in your experience? Thanks
268/276 made more power on my g60 more than 276/276 288/288 and all the other cams like TT Autotech etc
Did you rev high enough?
Love it man 👌🔥

Howzit tnx for the response... im running 276 now and is running smoth..
@@selloseale9387thats good, i believe 276 is the best cam
276
276 for a street car
Hi we've install a 276 on my golf mk1 1.8i but the car doesn't idle when I stop
Hi there. Did the car idle before you changed the cam? If so maybe check your timing again too make sure.
288 more power most definitely she the one drives good
On a 1.6 standard mp9 wat u must put a 276 cam 1st and then chip with wat kind meanin brand of chip
Hi there. So sorry I can't help you there going to speak to someone that works with something like that.
I wanna increase power on my 1.6 afx polo playa engine, which cam would you recommend and where can I get one
Hi there. Do a 276 camshaft and branches!!! You can phone up stk performance camshafts they will help you on a 276 camshaft.
Hey hey hey where is plius where is minus side
Hi there, will a 276 with vernier work for 8v 1.4i
Hi there. Yes it will work 276 is not that big of a camshaft will be perfect for 1.4i

Is it ok to put 276 on 1.8 Oem Carb?
Hi there. Yes you can no problem. I run a 298 cam on carburetor
266 cam❤

hi i have mk3 2.0 8v what camshaft you recomend for mor power
Hi there. Beste cam you can use for daily is 276 not bad on fuel. If you looking for more power 288 is your beste bet,

Hi there. Ace motor sports did mine. They are based in germiston. They will be able to set the weber perfectly for you. Look them up on internet.

Hello I'm driving a golf mk3 1.8i 8v where can I get a 276 cam. Will it work better with a weber on/off, where can I get the weber too?
What carb is that
Hi willem. 32/36 weber carburetor.
Why can't i hear my 276 cam on my golf could it be that my diktator isnt tuned right i dont hear that braaa braa braa braa braa
Hi there. You wont hear it because a 276 idle is not that great on braa braa braaa I have a 298 biggest cam on hydraulic.
@ritchiesridemk1vwbuild853 but i can hear my cuzins 1 and he has a 272 cam
How do u set timing on the 288cam
Hi there. You cant set timing on a 288 cam. Get engine timing perfect first. Need vernier pully to find sweet spot, only way to get that is on a dyno!!!!
What's the standard cam?
Hi there. Std cam is factory cam. No performance. It's your A to B cam that's it.
@@ritchiesridemk1vwbuild853 get an L also
