VX Camshaft Kit

The European Tuning VX Street Performance Camshaft Kit is a comprehensive upgrade designed to enhance power and torque in Volvo 240, 740, and 940 non-turbo models. This kit includes the VX Performance Camshaft, an IPD adjustable cam gear, cam seals, a new cover gasket, and a timing belt, providing all necessary components for installation. The VX camshaft itself is based on Volvo's original VX camshaft found in the European B230FX engine. While it can offer good results in both turbo and non-turbo applications, it is specifically recommended for non-turbo setups. For optimal performance with fuel injection, this camshaft is best suited for Bosch LH-Jetronic or Regina systems. Installation on models with K-Jetronic fuel injection is possible but may lead to a rough idle and potentially affect emissions. Key specifications for this performance camshaft include a lift intake of 11.37mm, lift exhaust of 10.65mm, an intake duration of 245.4°, an exhaust duration of 236.2°, and an overlap of 13.8°. The camshafts are constructed from new Parkerized chill cast iron to ensure longevity, avoiding the reduced hardness and lifespan associated with re-ground camshafts. When installing this kit, it is recommended to replace the cam cover gasket, adjust valves, and consider installing a new timing belt and seals to maximize the camshaft's lifespan and overall engine performance. It is important to note that performance products like this may not be legal for street use in all regions, and users are advised to research local laws.
