Unlock the true potential of your MINI R55, R56, R57, R58 or R59 equipped with the N14 turbocharged engine with these precision-engineered performance camshafts from Newman Cams—a trusted name in British motorsport valvetrain development.

Designed specifically to improve mid-range torque delivery and overall drivability, these cams are an excellent upgrade for drivers seeking a sharper, more responsive engine for fast road use and occasional track days.

Key Features:

• Optimised for N14 Engine Geometry
  Custom profiles developed specifically for the MINI N14 turbo engine found in pre-LCI Cooper S models (2007–2012), including Clubman, Convertible, and Coupé variants.

• Enhanced Mid-Range Performance
  Profiled to deliver stronger torque between 2500–5500 RPM, where daily drivability and on-track acceleration matter most.

• Fast Road & Track-Day Ready
  Balances aggressive lift and duration without sacrificing idle quality or low-end response—ideal for dual-purpose builds.

• Precision Ground & Heat-Treated
  Manufactured in the UK using high-quality blanks, ground to exacting tolerances and hardened for long-term reliability under high-load conditions.

• Requires ECU Remapping
  These camshafts must be paired with a remap to fully optimise ignition timing, fuel delivery, and VVT operation for smooth and reliable performance gains.

Installation Notes:

• Suitable for manual and automatic variants.

• Direct fit for N14 engines only (not compatible with N18).

• A supporting ECU tune is essential to ensure correct fuelling and avoid engine fault codes or reduced performance.

• Best results when combined with upgraded intake, intercooler, and exhaust system.
