[urq] WR camshaft

[Martin Pajak]

You can find a WR (Euro) cam in any Canadian 1980-83 5kt.
Yes, it is worth trying to find one.

I think the planets are aligned now...

- I am going to France at the end of the month
- I will soon replace a leaky valve cover gasket
- Then, I will check/adjust the valves on the engine at the same moment.

So, why not replace the WX camshaft with an Euro WR? Or maybe an Euro Typ
43 camshaft ?

Is this a good idea to gain HP without modifying the car too much?

If I do so, will the WX produces a genuine 200 hp or will I have to tamper
with the ECU and the wastegate spring to attain that goal ?

Any BTDT or advices are welcome.

TIA,

Louis-Alain
