Im in the process of rebuilding my spi mini and im looking for more bhp for the rebuild. i have a stage 1 kit on the mini as it is. but im thinking about an uprated camshaft what do people recommend? or am i best off staying standard as sum people have told me.... discuss?

the swiftune sw5-07 is a good cam, not too lairy but a lot better than the standard spi cam, which is a bit poor.

Another good cam is the kent 274i, or the SP274i.

Give them a search, go on the swiftune, kent and minispares websites.

what do you think about cooper 10:1 LGC10230 camshaft?
is more different?

[RayBoogs]

I believe that camshaft is the standard SPi camshaft, the sw5-07 or kent 274i would be better, in my opinion

the MD274 has more inlet lift and a little more duration, has a chunk more duration on the exhaust too, over the SW5. The SW5 is a very good cam, and i'm not knocking it, it dows what it suggests, but if you want that bit more, and are willing to spend out on a really good cylinder head, the MD274 is quite surprising. I've seen 80hp+ just with the 274 cam and a decent head. The SW5 is not far behind

would these cams run ok with the standard ECU? or would it make me spend even more time in the garage fixing blown relays and things like that? because its my daily so still want reliability.

Nope they'll run perfectly fine with your standard ECU, assuming it is all in good working order

what about an A+ mg metro cam will this make any differance to the power. and will it pass it MOT on emissions this cam in ?

[cliche]

I gleened some info directly from Kent regarding cams on this thread http://www.theminifo...is-recommended/ for my 94 Spi

Can anyone confirm the use of a A+ mg metro cam in a spi 1275? will it pass MOT and will it run properly? looking for a little more power for cheaper than a swiftune or kent cam. cheers
