Camshafts
Timos Motor builds performance camshafts for Volvo B21, B23 and B230 (8V). Four steps from the Timo 11.3 to the Timo 14.75 – from a sharper V cam to a heavily tuned naturally aspirated engine.
- Timo 11.3 – the mildest. An improved, sharper version of Volvo’s V cam that suits most setups, naturally aspirated and turbo.
- Timo 12.2 – the next step. Ground at 107° for NA or 112° for turbo.
- Timo 13.10 – stage 3. About 213.5 hp in our LH 2.4 concept engine with our chip, about 245 hp in a stage 3 build with ported 531 heads, and we have seen up to about 260 hp.
- Timo 14.75 – for heavily tuned naturally aspirated engines. Run in 2150 cc, 2400 cc and 2.5 litre engines among others, and it always delivers.
All camshafts are sold on an exchange basis. A comparison table with lift, duration and lobe angle is below the products.

Yes, lash caps are needed unless you run longer valves (112.8 or 112.5 mm). Normally 3 mm.
Can I order directly in the web shop?
The camshafts are ordered by enquiry. The price is shown on the page, but we confirm stock and delivery personally before anything is bought.
