DVA K14 – Caterham Supersport drivability kit.
The Caterham Superport cams are very rarely properly timed which gives bad road manners and poor drivability, typically the inlet cam is retarded by up to 15 degrees which greatly reduces low and mid range torque.
This kit comprises a pair of Piper verniers which when properly set can improve mid range torque substantially (up to 15lb/ft). Throttle response and drivability is markedly improved. Price of Kit £200
Fitting to EU2 Caterham Seven (includes cam timing) £180
Supply and fit optional 52mm TF160 TB £130
Defunct front engine mount (1kg) removed and blanking plate fitted by Dave.
n.b. Dave Andrews recommends that these engines do NOT exceed 7,400 rpm (Even more so in 1.8 form apparently) as the Caterham rev limit is apparently a little optimistic, if you want a long engine life. Therefore, it is recommended that you do NOT illuminate the 4th shift lift which coincides with 7,600 rpm.
Dave Andrews recommended the next tuning modification should be a 4-2-1 exhaust system and suggested a POWERSPEED of ASHFORD system … Have seen tempting deals from them on Ebay! £510.00
