Albs Omega King Offline The upgrades are ongoing. Posts: 15083 North Essex Gender: Drives: 2000 2.5CD with LPG/Honda cbr600 FX	3.2 cams- what do they fit ? 04. Apr 2011 at 20:32 As above. Are the 3.2 cams the same os 3.0 cams ? If not are they an upgrade for the 2.6 the same as 3.0 cams are an upgrade to the 2.5 ? Tia.

Apr 2011 at 20:44 And if so is it better to also have the 3.2 inlet fanimold and sandwich plate ? Or to put it another way - are any of the parts from the 3.2 worthwhile as upgrades for any of the smaller engines ?

Intake manifold and splitter is the same as the 3.0. TBH, the cams probably are, as well, but I haven't ever actually compared them.

I would ascertain the differences for certain before risking it (has it been done before?) but I suspect it would be fine. At the minimum, measure the lift and make sure it's not massively increased.

3.0l uses 2 A cams and 2 G cams.

I'm not very good at EPC .. but

1 CAMSHAFT, INLET, IDENT G, BLUE (NLS.- USE 90540003 56 36 016 ) X30XE -08077074 (90509847) (56 36 004) 2
1 CAMSHAFT, INLET 08077075- 90540003 56 36 016 2
1 CAMSHAFT, EXHAUST, IDENT A, GREEN (NLS.- USE 90540002 56 36 015 ) X30XE -08077074 (90443765) (6 36 007) 2
1 CAMSHAFT, EXHAUST X30XE 08077075- 90540002 56 36 015 2
1 CAMSHAFT, EXHAUST Y32SE 24456976 6 36 030 2

It almost looks to me that the inlet cams are the same but the exhausts are different ??

Huh

Apr 2011 at 21:19 The plot thickens. I can see this becoming a challenge - who knows about which cams and what are they interchangeable with ?...........and what are the benifits when they are changed. Nige PM on its way, regarding another matter.

Apr 2011 at 21:46 Excellent, thanks Mark . So it would be ok to fit them in any of the smaller engines ? and presumably similar gains to putting 3.0 cams in a smaller engine?

The exhaust manifolds also help a bit (off the 2.6 or 3.2) but require a minor mod to the downpipes.
