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.

Fitting a camshaft allows more air / fuel and keeps that valves open for longer than the stock cam to enter the cylinder, resulting in an overall increase in power in  a cost effective way. The large increase in both BHP and torque throughout the Rev Range are essential when increasing the power and capabilities of your mini.
 
A remap to the ECU when fitting this Newman camshaft is required! Must ideally be dyno tuned

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.
