I am planning on picking up one of the intake cams here in the future for my Tib and I was wondering which of the cams, the 1.8 cam or the Elantra GT cam, would be the best purchase. If it makes any difference my car is a '98 SE auto with I/E/BBTB. The cams themselves are only $118 and $124, and is it a fairly easy install or are there any special reasons why I should I pay someone to have it done. Any help is appreciated.

I'm planning on getting the 2001 Elantra cam for my 97 FX. The 2001 cam will give you a little more performance than the 1.8L cam. <img src=/images/forums/snitz/moon.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>

I can get you the cams too for the same price.

Well, this topic is interesting. Can we have someone like Red or whoever give us the low down on the differences between them? (ie. physically and gain wise) I'm sure there's a few people in here that really know what they're talking about! <img src=/images/forums/snitz/smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>

Thanks guys!

otverge, Red has actually expained them several times on this board, TSR and Fxtreme.

Do a search and you should be able to find it.

I am planning on getting the Elantra GT 2001.5 2.0L CAM.
I have a valid question. Everyone is talking about using them in the 2000 tibs and lower.
But the 2000 tibs have Hals not solid lifters. Can you use a solid lifter CAM on a head that has HALs?

Hmmmmm. Am I wrong or do some peeps still think the Elantra GT engine is different from the GLS? The engine,
cams and all, are identical near as I know...2001 and '02 anyway.<img src=/images/forums/snitz/uhh.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>

I know. I have posted that a few times but everyone still puts that it is a GT cam. No wonder people get confused.

As for the cam being used on a head with HLA's. There is not enough of a change that it should not cause any real problems. You are not putting in some big huge lumpy cams, just a little more lift & duration. Red has it in his car nad I think someone else does also. The ESTIMATED gains are about 3-5hp with the 1.8L cam vs. 6-8hp for the 2k1+ Elantra cam. For the same price I would want the extra 3hp or so. I would really like to see someone dyno these.

So do you recommend the 2001 elantra GT Intake cam for the 2000 Tiburon?
My dealer said it would only make a significant difference if you already had better intake (CAI) and better exhaust. I have both and crank pulley as well. Dealer Mechanic said they all would compliment each other.
Then he said "nothing beats nitrous, but it would void warranty for sure"<img src=/images/forums/snitz/smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0><img src=/images/forums/snitz/tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0><img src=/images/forums/snitz/wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0><img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0><img src=/images/forums/snitz/finger.gif width=33 height=15 border=0><img src=/images/forums/snitz/moon.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>
