mk1 1.8 8v difference between 276/288 cam. and vernier pully explained

[@sphiwemashaba2661]

This video is pure gold! I prefer the 276 for better fuel consumption cause hey PETROL IS $$$$

[@dalenvangraan441]

I've got a 288 cam in my mk 1 and it pulls very nice

[@mariusschmidt2419]

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

[@juciyjcurtis7938]

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

[@rudieengelbrecht6976]

Awesome information thanks

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 😂🇿🇦

Hi on a 276cam what is the sweet spot degree mark in your experience? Thanks

[@kyleventer1391]

Love it man 👌🔥

[@selloseale9387]

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 😢

[@ritchiesridemk1vwbuild853]

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.

[@selloseale9387]

Howzit tnx for the response... im running 276 now and is running smoth..

[@str8xrippin]

​@@selloseale9387thats good, i believe 276 is the best cam

[@jdportwerks6795]

268/276 made more power on my g60 more than 276/276 288/288 and all the other cams like TT Autotech etc

[@ebugauge]

Did you rev high enough?

[@corburnvictor3734]

I just rebuild my motor and im looking to fit a 288 cam but im not sure sure i run the motor in with the stock can firstly or ???

[@ritchiesridemk1vwbuild853]

Hi there. Run the motor in with the 288 cam won't do anything to to motor. Just drive it in slowly don't step on it. Remember you need a vernier pully for that 288 cam.

[@illoydgreen4127]

The use of both 276 and 288 on a 16v ??

Hi we've install a 276 on my golf mk1 1.8i but the car doesn't idle when I stop

[@ritchiesridemk1vwbuild853]

Hi there. Did the car idle before you changed the cam? If so maybe check your timing again too make sure.

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

[@ritchiesridemk1vwbuild853]

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.

[@rashdecisions523]

@@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 👍🏾

[@ritchiesridemk1vwbuild853]

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.

[@rashdecisions523]

@@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 🙄

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

[@ritchiesridemk1vwbuild853]

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. Will buy the 276 cam for a daily drive. Vernier pully is needed when you want a bigger cam. Can buy it from goldwagon. 288 is not ideal for a daily drive. But the choice is yours.
