Kaluza...is that a cup? Race cup or/and some way of competition? I have found the cam on Swiatec but I noticed that the duration is less then the standard cam: just 225/221 with 7.9/7.8 valve lift.

A 300 degrees (actually 298 dgr.) has a lift of 7.2/7.2. Alpha angle here is 108 dgr.

So how come you mention it as a compition cam? (well you didn't but it really looks like it)

Strangely the 555 only comes up when you keep the Swiatek site on Polish language. How odd. Why would that be?

There is something wrong in the last list - 114 is 274" and 385 - 288", not 288 and 298.

Hi.
I'll try to shed some light on from my point of view, from when I used to sit in it better.
Swiatek cams:
114 it's cam just for road use. Can't get more then 32-35 bhp from that one with some heavy mods.
385 it's MOST popular road and race. Easy to live with on road and quite tuneable for racing. With at least 2mm head skimm, your carb, -25% of flywheel, mods to timming chain sprocket and ignition and exhaust/inlet you'll see 35 usable bhp easy. I would say even more than that.
760 most extreme from Swiatek's range back then (ca 10 years ago) for 'normal' customers/ of shelf. Require heavy mods to engine: skimm about 6-7mm, recesed pistons, big valves, lightened and balanced components, twin carbs, racing exhausts, light flywheel. Can't use on road, as previously mentioned barely any tickover.
Kaluza 555 !!would get in heart beat. Not so extreme as 760 and better then 385. Can get around 55bhp with right mods. And still can live with it on roads. Hard to get nowadays, there used to be some copys on moto.allegro.pl
There is loads of variations of above and some other small manufacturers that can make custom one for your needs.
In my opinion you should get swiatek 385 (or current equivalent) for your needs. It's absolutely perfect for day to day/weekend use. That cam was introduced when 126 was still in production just wondering why they haven't use it in later models ;D
The above are only my thoughts from 10 years back when I had pleasure to own 126 with Kaluza 555 and drove couple with swiatek 385s, when Breda exhaust(which I have on mine) was only reserved for rally/autograss cars :P

Also, that is place to look at---> http://www.motonews.pl/forum/?op=fvf&c=0&f=25
Loads of rally mad members but also some classic lovers ;)
Cheers

Thanks. That is a good support. I sent some email to Swiatek because it seems that you can't order on there website. No response. And that after serveral times. Nothing. Are they fake?

As I advised you before, ask Matuska. He will maybe help you.

You can ask here no need to register http://www.swiatek.fora.pl/sportowe-walki-rozrzadu,5/ or contact [email protected] the guy that answers the forum.

They are not fake and they do answer if you have the correct email. I don't know the actual one, but here you have these answers from 2008.

.............................

If you want to pay for a camshaft, you need to make payment by bank transfer, i.e. pay directly into our account. You can make an order by email. We can send a camshaft by post or by courier.

Kind regards

Company Swiatek

[email protected]

....................................................

Hello,

If you want to order the camshafts need to write how many (possible negotiation of price in the contract more than 5 ).

We prefer payment to the account after which we send a courier pack.

Regards

M. Stachula

Picture seem to show us that the Kaluza has high lift and closes valve fast. Are we correct?  :P

So far no response from Swiatek. Odd.

Are there any Polish drivers on this forum who can mail home and ask there family to check out what is wrong at Swiatek?  :$ And how to order from an other EU country. Thank you.

...well well well, finally I made contact with Swiatec. Therefore I had to sent an email to the production manager. The good man writes pretty good English. He did answer all my question very nicely.

Here is some of the correspondence with subject the '555' walek...

-quote-

Do you still sell the Kaluza 555 Walek?...and what is/was the difference between the '555' and the above 'R.385'?
Yes we still sell the Kaluza 555 camshaft. Below you cans see parameters of both camshafts:

FT.25280 ('555')
Duration: INTAKE 311 / EXHAUST 300 deg
Cam lift: 7,90 / 7,80 mm

FT.20000 ('385')
Duration: INTAKE 298 / EXHAUST 298 deg
Cam lift: 7,20 / 7,20 mm

555 is a racing camshaft and 385 is a rally camshaft. Choise between them depends also on engine modifications.


-unquote-

May I conclude that the '555' is absolutely not for common road use? And that the 385 is therefore a much better choice?

THx. I will.

Last week I sent an email to my Polish connection. Also no response. I'll guess Polish internet is not that stable. Or all my emails arrive in the unwanted box as spam. Therefore I will wait some extra time. After this I will make an order at Swiatek to sent a cam to Holland.
Guess what the international shippingrates are....35,-€! -glunk!-  :-
