Juanra, give us some more info are you happy with this mod? Any issues? Gains?

Thanx in advance

 

I gained 3 HP en a Dynojet, same gain I got when I swapped the 2.0L fit the 1.8L cam. So about 6 HP coming from the stock 2.0L intake cam.



I took both the 2.0L exhaust and intake cam yo a good machine shop and told them what I wanted, they cut, marked and installed the pin.

 

If I'm not mistaken, the beta I exhaust cam has the highest lift and duration of all the beta cams. The only exception would be one of the beta II cvvt intake cams which has like 250° duration but isn't a straight swap at all. I plan on doing this in my beta II head but will need new shims. Good thing I have 2 sets of beta I cams floating around.

 

Juanra , thanx brother

1.8 cam was easy swap and no issues at all, but this mod for just 3hp ...I'm not sure it's worth it ?! I might get bored these days and get my crazy mood on

 

En a NA engine 3 HP is a lot, specifically considering that they are still OEM cams.

 

Yeah, every hp is precious on NA engine, but for me all this work for 3hp ... I'm lazy these days

Also new Apex springs coming tomorrow

 

Should also be great for boost. Considering regrinds will set you back about $500.

 

I have two sets of cams in storage. I should be able to do this at work.

 

3HP on this engine and you can get it done for possibly a case of beer if you are good friends with the machinist, is an extreme bargain. People pay $90 for the 1.8 cam and there are 2.0 exhaust cams sitting around unloved all over the place. I can't see it costing more than $300 if you have to buy the part and the machine work. How much does a full exhaust cost, and you get the same amount of a power bump.



Juanra, did the cam do anything notable to the idle quality?

 

No noticeable change in idle,no lost in hp or torque. Even got better mileage.
