Cam swap anyone?

Qwikcorty · 24-01-2005, 08:06 PM

Im thinking about atm, putting my std ea cam back in my car so i can get more km's outta my gas, as i can see some long distance trips coming up, and way just wondering if anyone has maybe a xr6 type cam, and are looking for a bigger one.
Its a wade 1004@112 and on my car has made a best of 141rwkw. The cam will come with the shims to suit it aswell.
Is anyone interseted? im in south eastern suburbs.

I wonder how it would go for a turbo car? I have an EF XR6 cam.

might be ok, its not like it has no low end power, i drive it from 1500rpm alot shifting at 2200-2500. Theres just a noticable urge thats comes at 3-3500 rpm. ef xr6 cam sounds nice.

I have a stock EB 4.0 cam here you can have, or the stock EF cam (same as EB/ED XR6 pretty much) in my car.

ive still got my std ea cam, i just wouldnt mind a sporty cam in it still.
bye bye performance, i even took out my lsd tonight and put the std diff back in! but it is alot quieter! well there is no diff noise now, havent had a quiet diff for close to a year!

How much would you want for the cam?

Qwikcorty · 24-01-2005, 08:33 PM

diff noise, wat sort of noise does it make, im still trying to figure out if my lsd is f***ed, or just needed an oil change. mechanics reacken there prety hard to break. but yer, i did the same, swaped it with a ss and no diff noise now. just not as fun in the wet.

when you say diif noise?..is it really bad? what kind of diff is it?

Qwikcorty · 25-01-2005, 03:58 PM

Its a 2 pin modified xe 2.77 ratio lsd centre, with a adaptor to suit 2.92 and higher gearsets. and some big shims under the lsd springs for good measure. It handled a year of abuse from drags and me giving it shit, and was still going strong b4 i took it out. It whines cos i just slapped it together. It was my 2nd attempt at building a diff. The spacer in it alone was worth $180, i should try and sell it for parts.
