SK6 Kent Cam

Featured Replies

Hi all I’ve managed to get my hands on a SK6 Kent camshaft, can anyone shed some light on what gains I will get. 
also what would the re-sale value be on one of these? 
thanks all.

It is mentioned in here:

It was a part used in one of the highest BHP 1.3 naturally aspirated Favorit engine.

Good find.

From what I can remember they were used in Skoda uk's Favorit rally cars with twin Carburettors and produced 115bhp reliably. I never found out their torque figures though. I had one, and fitted it in my MPI Felicia, but couldn't get it to idle smoothly enough to pass the MOT, (With the standard ECU.).

why do the check idling?

Because you need the MoT to use a car over 3 years old legally on the road in the UK (includes certain classes of closed course motorsport; check class regulations for details).

thats crazy ahahhah

It's mainly a check on the exhaust emissions: they have to check the gasses at a fast idle rate of at least 1500rpm, and my engine still wasn't smooth running for them to do that test, so it failed.

i mean wasnt it smooth at 1.5k it surely needed a remap

That might have fixed it yes, but I don't think you can remap the standard ECU because of the old language that it uses. I could only find a Czech company that would physically change the main chip to a better one, or buy an aftermarket ECU for £600, and that was too expensive for the performance gain from the SK6, so I chose the Engitec Camshaft that works with the standard ECU instead.

i can remap it in greece...
it can be remapped and even better mapped on a dyno with an emulator

 

Thanks for the offer, but I sold my Felicia back in January.
