    I never had you pegged as the owner of a tidy kitchen... are you sure you wouldn't prefer a nice bit of squalor?

    Ive done the ABF cam swap in a 9a but its hard to tell the difference because the extra mods that I've also done. flowed & ported head 3 angle seats with swirl finish valves. lightned and balanced bottom end, normally asperatd 1.8 20v injectors bmc cda and megasquirt. hope to get it mapped as soon as I can find a RR that can do megasquirt in london. **** got any info on the late seat abf cams ? they are marked up as 007 the early abfs come with 051s ???

    I would like to see an ABF inlet cam paired with a KR exhaust cam. Looking at the cam specs Toyo posted a while back, although using this combination would loose the two degrees of overlap, the ABF inlet has both more duration and lift than the KR inlet.

    Just curious thats all...

    ABF has more lift and KR has more duration. The question everybody seems to miss is what set has more area under the parametric profile graph?

    Not according to Toyotec - KR inlet 212 degrees ABF inlet 219 degrees

    I have not seen a cam map of either though. It would make good reading...well, viewing!!

    So am I :lol:

    Discovered I have a wobbling outer crank pulley and only 2/4 bolts going in to the toothed pulley behind it.

    Got the parts from VW just need to get that sorted first before it goes on the rollers.
