Ok, I made up a cam comparison chart to help all of those who have been asking about cam specs.

Thanks to Croat for re-doing it for us.

 

[section-8]

and just for clarification...are these all interchangeable with each other?

 

[i8acobra]

Yes. The best combination for any of the three engines would be the XD intake cam and the Beta1 2.0L or 1.8L exhaust cam.

 

[NightShark003]

so over all the XD cam is the best.?
and are u sayin the XD cam works best on the beta1 ?
is the beta1 the first gen ?

Yes, XD cam work better on beta1
beta or beta1 = first gen

 

[i8acobra]

The Beta1 goes all the way to 2001 in the Tib and 2000 in the Elantra. The 2001 Elantra and 2003 Tib have the Beta2.

:smoking:Hey what about the RPW or cat cams? Are thay any good to work with?
thanks Sean

 

[iQfOreVa]

yea, aaron, ive been meaning to ask you about the cat cams....how are they and do we need the additional springs or whatever it was to deal with the greater lift?

 

[Rudy H]

How about a Delta cam comparision?

 

[i8acobra]

Not sure about the aftermarket cams. For Cat Cams info, check www.jrponline.com . I think any aftermarket cam would be better than an XD cam just because the XD cam is mild. But, the aftermarket cams are alot more money.

 

[Kenji]

I have a question, the elantra gt intake cam is the same of the new tiburon 2003 I4?

 

[i8acobra]

Yes.

 

[dac]

Aren't the Cams Symetrical? Can one put an Exhaust cam on the intake side?

 

[MechaniX_034]

Get a degreeing wheel and a micrometer, and you'll see some pretty subtle diferences.:lol:

Good read guys, I have one question. Has anyone that has done this install, had a dyno run to show the gains off of this mod.

 

[i8acobra]

I have installed the XD cam in my brother's '96 Elantra 1.8L. I haven't dynoed it, but the "butt dyno" says I lost some low end power and gained some top end. I'm sure when I get the S-AFC tuned, it'll get back some of the low end power it lost. I just haven't had time to mess with it due to my 70 hrs./week work schedule.

Arron, send me that chart in a email and I can do it all nice and pretty in a spreadsheet @ work this week.

Dude, when you get a chance, try to put up some results once you get things up and running. Thanx:nervous:
