The Cat Cams 1321743 camshaft set is new for 2012. The 1321743 camshaft set is designed for fast road and track day use and is a direct replacement for the standard camshafts from the Citroen Saxo VTS 1.6 16v. These Catcams 1321743 camshafts are the new evolution of the popular 1321708 camshafts and improve the power across the whole rev range, with a 3 bhp peak gain and extra 2 ft lb of torque vs the 1321708 cams. This Catcams 1321743 camshaft set is easy to fit using standard timing marks.

The Cat Cams 1321743 camshafts for the Citroen Saxo VTS can be used with OE followers, retainers and valve springs as well as the standard inlet manifold, but requires an ECU remap to ensure correct fuelling & ignition timing. This Cat Cams 1321743 camshaft profile produces a good idle and emissions for MOT time. The Cat Cams 1321743 camshaft set is the limit in profile before additional head work is needed on the Citroen Saxo VTS engine. We recommend that once the Cat Cams 1321743 camshafts are fitted to the Citroen Saxo VTS you rotate the inlet and exhaust camshaft to make sure the head casting does not foul the camshaft movement. Slight headwork (though this is very rare) may be needed to remove some metal from the head to accomodate this camshaft profile.

Cat Cams are one of the most innovative camshaft manufacturers currently on the market with successes in European Touring Cars (including BTCC class winners), the Le Mans 24 hours and Moto GP. Whether it’s fast road, rally, rallycross, circuit or drag racing, if you’re looking for improved engine performance then Cat Cams has the solution. Based in Belgium, for over 15 years Cat Cams has engineered a vast range of performance cam profiles.

Cat Cams pursue a unique design philosophy based on shorter durations and higher valve lifts. Their profiles offer better cylinder filling at lower engine speeds, producing higher levels of torque and tractability allied to improved top end power when compared to their competitors.

Cat Cams never re-profile camshafts; All Cat Cams camshafts are made fresh from either chilled castings or steel billet blanks.

This kit is for a Cat Cams 1321743 Camshaft Set only. No other ancilliaries are included as part of this camshaft kit.
