[ciaran r]

just wondering,what are twincams like for a bit of slidding,i`m looking at buying a cam for a daily but wondering what there like for drifting,are the able for the dry if they have a 2way,or they only fun in the wet??? just looking for lads with first hand experience with em,as i was told there only good for 1st gear rings and thats not what im after!!!!

also can i run throttle bodies on a standered ecu?

standard engine they wouldnt be great , had 6 of them over the yrs 20v was best with 2 way well capable , had supercharged one to didnt like that as much, id love another one just make sure ya dont get a ball of shite cause there loads them around now and it would put you off cams just look around get a nice one

@darragh are them two cams in the vid 16v? and is there much done to em??

@ k1984w yea have my eye on a really clean one for good money,there is alot of buckets out there,was looking into a 20v conversion,not much involved either for the money,dizzy relocater and waterlines,engine and loom and thats it,works out the same money as cams throttle bodies and ecu for the 16v so i aint sure witch is the better option

Standard 16v are not much fun, Ive a 20v in mine done the conversion a few years back in the right hands there plenty good I just need more time behind the wheel. To do the 20v conversion right cost a fortune! I put in an OMEX in mine to save hammering the firewall and lose the dizzy, I didnt get much change from 2k. Engine €750, it dosnt be long adding up, You have to decide which clutch your going to use 16v or 20v. Basiclly a 20v or modified 16v with the right nutter behind it can pretty much do anything any the 300bhp+ cars can do but its takes balls of steel to drive your car on the limit ALL the time. Theres much more chance of something going wrong while drifting them but sure I suppose thats half the excitemnt of it.

standard 16v's are fine for a daily drifter as long as your not looking to win competitions or anything, dont mind the fella's saying there only good for rings
but saying that you will really have to lean how to drive the car hard and when you do its sooo much fun and additive


as for running itb's , no. its an expensive enough conversion , most lads give up on the 16v and plant a 20v in there.
