Cheuk - what cams do the people with turbochargers use over there?

 

Best to use your Stock Cams if your running any form of forced induction.You dont wat higher duration or cam lift cams when running a Turbo.

 

Actually...

Lift and duration will never hurt any car, and high duration cams are excellent for turbo cars. The problem isn't duration, it's overlap. If you have a huge amount of duration but a very small lobe seperation, then you will get lots of overlap and the turbo car will not perform as well.

The best cams to get for a turbo car have lots of duration, but a very wide lobe seperation as well.

2UNIQ is partially right. USUALLY the stock cam works as well or better than most "turbo" and definately better than most NA cams. But if you can find a good cam shop and designer, a long duration, high lift, MINIMAL overlap cam like RED mentioned is the way to go.

 

Right now I'll probably just remain N/A

I really don't see a turbo/super in my future, maybe NOS, but thats about it, would it be to my benefit to keep my old cams if I do decide to go NOS?

By the way how much are those HVE high duration cams?

And what kind of performance increase will I see with a mostly stock setup with new cams? I wouldn't be expecting much, I'd just like to put the groundwork in for a good N/A setup.

And my last question, which is off topic now, but it will sort of fit into the performance aspect of my car. If I don't decide to do a tranny swap to manual, what can I do to make my auto a stronger transmission?

 

Would either Elantra Beta intake cam be preferable to the 2.0L Tiburon cam?
