Colombo & Bariani project approaching....

hi friends

I started to have an idea in these days: I found a good pair of original cams 20VT with only 60.000 km and for 120€.

My coupè is around stage 2 tuning.

Colombo & Bariani ask around 150 € for modification of original shafts to "Road medium" profile.

I can't find someone that do this in Italy so I want to ask to you impressions adivice and if this is a nice upgrade to go for it!

take a look that for a new pair of fresh C&B cams they ask more than 900 €

thank you for your constant support

ciao!!

very interesting

heard about that but don't know anybody that has done that..
900e for cams is not expensive it's ridiculous

If they modify stock cams for 150e and guarantee that the cams will not crack this is something I want to do

They wrote: "...which will guarantee better performances and same toughness of the original shaft."

As you are from Italy, please contact them and ask if they are really can guarantee the toughness of cams.. I want to send them my cams but I don't want to ruin my Accralite pistons (and maybe whole engine) because of regrinded cams

Cheers!

I wouldn't bother trying to machine std cams, I have tried it, didn't really work. It would be better for someone with C&B cams to send them off to be copied.

If I understand good, C&B grind the cams to the same specs as they cams have

You send your cams to the C/B?
What do you mean "didn't really work"?

This thing looks great to me, but something worry me, the holes on head for hydrolifters are too low if the cams are grinded.. those it means that hydrolifters will not work well?

I will try this
Friend who know Italian language has been send a message to C&B if they can regrind Stilo 2.4 camshafts to Coupe road medium profile as I have Stilo camshafts in stock and don't know what to do with them

If they couldn't do that with stilo cams I will send 20vt original cams.

When they arrive I'll post some pics and when mounted some opinions and dyno graph to compare

Go for it!

It will be very interesting to see graphs from dyno (before and after installation).

Hi, peoples!
I had some other job to think about and put regrinding of cams in delay.

Last week I contacted C&B and they wrote me I should contact ACAR company for international business. ACAR told me I should contact MB SPORT here in Croatia.

And now, the joy of the day. MB SPORT offers me regrinding of cams in C&B for 700 EUROS?!?!?! LOL
I think it's a fraud!

Did anyone contact or send cams to C&B? For which price?

For 700 Euros I'll rather go for custom made cams than regrind original

That's a con big time.

I wonder how much interest there would be on a group buy of c&b cams

Hi guys next days I will be in Milan to make the ARB, maybe I can go in person to C&B.

Can I help you?
