According to the chart and numbers, isnt better to get the intake cam of the 2.0L beta1 than the gt cam? to a elantra 1.8l beta 1, just a question.

If you have a 1.8L, I wouldn't change the cams at all unless you're going to use an aftermarket cam (like CatCams).

Can one get a hp increase just by installing an adjustable cam pulley on a 2.0 Beta XD? If so, what degree is required and what increment is expected? Otherwise, is it necessary to adjust both cams independently, get a new computer, get a SAFC, or what? Thks...

 

[i8acobra]

If you're staying normally aspirated, a cam gear isn't going to be much benefit. It can help with a turbo, though. With a turbo, adjusting both cams can be done to control where in the rev range the power will be. If you could adjust the cams independantly, a cam gear would help in an n.a. car. I believe a company in Korea is selling an adjustable cam gear for the intake cam that can be used with the adjustable exhaust cam wheel.

??????????????????????????????????
I see the total cam height, but to know lift you must know the base circle. Does anyone actaully know the base circle so we can know how much total lift the stock cams(or aftermarket cams... like Hwarang cams) are? The Hwarang cams have a total lift of 8.2mm, does anyone know the total lift for the stock cams?

I've got my stock cams in the garage. I'll try to measure them today.

I'm sorry but i don't fully understand. What is better for my beta1 2.0L, a 1.8 intake cam or an XD intake cam. The duration is still the same, but the other two numbers are differant. Do you decide becaus of the duration or do you need to take the other two into account?

 

[i8acobra]

Best cam for the 2.0L Beta 1:

N/A = XD cam is best with 19 degrees of overlap.
Turbo = 1.8L cam is best with only 16 degrees of overlap.

So for a NA 2.0L BETA1, the XD cam is the way to go. What about all the people saying the XD cam could damage the valvetrain over time? Any conclusions ever come of that?

I was told the same thing.

Basicly, I don't want to get the 1.8 Cam if it's going to have to be taken out when I go turbo.

you mean the XD cam.. cause the 1.8 is better for turbo.. so it would just go with that from the start if you're goin turbo anyways

So you would go with the 1.8L cam if going turbo and stay stock if N/A caus the XD may have reliability issues?

 

[NightShark003]

i'd still go with 1.8 if goin N/A ... although the XD has found to have better gains.. the 1.8 still helps..

Hey guys! I've been hearing nothing but Tiburon cams.. I need a performance cam for my SOHC 98 Accent! What can I do for this! It seems like its almost impossible to tune up this sucka!

 

[ports]

I have asked RPW for info and they have said they can provide a cam with 10 degrees more duration and 10% more lift and will be good for the 2.0 with stock ECU. is this simmilare to the 1.8 or XD cam? and what do you guys think, should i get it?

 

[jerialyz]

nobody has notice that the spec of the xd cam is at .010 of valve clearance? with a clearance of 0 like the hla, the duration and lift will have a noticable increase with hla and xd cam.

 

[CROOOL_LANTRA]

As im am aware RPW dont have a in house chassis dyno. That would make developing a cam that actually makes good power with a stock ecu very interesting. Id be asking for dyno graphs and testimonials before forking out $1200 or so on cams that might or might not work.

I've enjoyed this form but Im confused. I have a 2001 Elantra. It has Beta2 xd cam..Are you saying I should remove the exhaust cam with one from a Beta1???:smoking:
