Overview

The IPD VX Street Performance Camshaft Kit is a performance camshaft kit designed for B230 engines. This kit combines a camshaft and gear with necessary installation components, including the VX Performance Camshaft, an adjustable cam gear, cam seals, a new cover gasket, and a timing belt. Based on Volvo's original VX camshaft found in the European B230FX engine, it offers good results in both turbo and non-turbo applications, though it is recommended for non-turbo models.
Show original supplier description
The IPD VX Street Performance Camshaft Kit is designed to enhance the performance of specific 1987 Volvo 760 Turbo models equipped with the B230 engine. This comprehensive kit provides all the necessary components for installation, including the VX Performance Camshaft, an IPD adjustable cam gear for fine-tuning, new cam seals, a replacement cover gasket, and a timing belt. The VX camshaft itself is inspired by Volvo's original VX camshaft utilized in the European B230FX engine. While versatile enough for both turbo and non-turbo engines, IPD specifically recommends this VX camshaft for non-turbo applications, suggesting their Turbo Performance camshaft for turbocharged variants. For optimal results, the VX camshaft is recommended for Bosch LH-Jetronic or Regina fuel-injected systems. It can also be fitted to K-Jetronic fuel-injected 240 models, though users should be aware of potential rough idling and its impact on emissions. Key specifications for the VX camshaft include a lift intake of 11.37mm, lift exhaust of 10.65mm, an intake duration of 245.4°, and an exhaust duration of 236.2°, with an overlap of 13.8°. It is important to note that performance products sold by IPD are intended for off-road or race track use only and may not be legal for street use in all regions. IPD makes no claim of fitness or certification for street legality and advises customers to research local regulations. This kit includes one unit per car and comes with a one-year parts warranty.
