Uh...what?

+1 for uh....what?

the NB 1.6 VVT from Japan and or Europe. when putting into a NA6 chassis. I don't believe you get them often in the USA . But I have read treads occasionaly where someones picked up one of those engines
when you retro fit the CAS the cams don't fit. They are too short. Just like with the OP.
In Australia they send the cams away to be welded & some other stuff done to it.
I believe they cut the end piece off an old B6 motor cam and attach it to the new cam wich is attached to the CAS.

I beleiev this would be a very good alternative solution......maybe

what kind of moron would even do such a dumb thing as fitting a CAS onto a vvt engine.
and why would you ever want to work backwards and fit an older/much worse trigger setup onto a more modern car?

that's as stupid as............carburetors

$10 says he cut a hole in his hood for his exhaust.

Here's the adapter i just finnished for Drezi. there are a few marks on it from installing/uninstalling to make sure the fit is just right. i over sized the center of the adapter so it needs to be tapped gently into the cam with a hammer. final assembly should be done using bearing race locktite as an extra safety precaution

Or you can swap the internals of the CAS, if you have both, for free. Save you a few hours of work.

Swap the internals with what to what?

This is for the kia fe3 camshaft. The mazda fe3 camshaft and cas is different. This way is much cheaper than importing a mazda cas and camshaft. (was quoted $250 for the mazda fe3 camshaft and cas)
Plus, I can more easily replace the miata cas than the fe3 cas with this setup.

The fe3 CAS is/was actually a distributor. You only use the housing/bearing/shaft/drive from the dizzy with the guts/lid from the Miata CAS to create the hybrid CAS. Fastiva's part is the way to go for the Kia fe3. Simple.

I just finished the last 2 Im making if anyone is interested for $150 shipped to the lower 48

Proof of concept confirmed, fired up for the first time today.

CONGRATS!!! Just found your thread. This is truly an accomplishment.
Would love to hear more about that build and how that cam adapter is hanging in.
Would love to have one of these CAS adapters to play with.
Good job!
