2Litre cam on a 1.6Litre

[imp]

Hi guys,
Has anybody tried replacing a 1.6 Litre cam to a 2.0 Litre cam on a AR147? Please advise
Is the modification possible?

Hi Imp, which version 1,6 do you have, the 105 HP differ from the 120 HP and 2,0 150 HP in not having variable inlet cam timing and will probably not take the cams from either the 2 other versions
The cams for other 2 versions have different part no. but whether the one is hotter than the other I don't know.
If you are looking for hotter cams one of the vendors doesn't list B&C cams for the 1,6, only 1,8 and 2,0 engines, so maybe the cams are not inter changeable. Here is the link

You could mail them and ask.

You could use 1.8 cams as well (which are the same as 2.0 cams). Some guys of the Dutch 155 and 156 club did that modification. Doesn't give you that much more HP, but more torque. The one thing to watch out for, is that the cams do exists in two diameters (though both the thick or thinner versions are usuable - whether or not with little mods). I personally sold 1.8 cams to someone who used them in his 1.6. Works perfect. Don't forget you need to use the proper cam locking tool and timing, too when you installe them!
