That dude looks evil and ****.."Team SR, the Possession"--Look into my eyes..

 

I think somewhere down deep Red loves these moments when he can post his Evil Search guy..

And hey its still funny...

I will probably get pelted with produce for rewarding laziness but i will go ahead and answer
your question...

Yes..

Later,

 

ok if i change the cams on my 1.8l tibby witht the elantra gt cams what r the benifits that i will see.. i did the "search" and on one has asked the 1.8l tibby cam switch to elantra gt cams! and doing that does it void ur warranty???

COCO!!!

 

RED RED easy on the newbies, let me play with them first

The Elantra GT/2001 cam has a little more lift than the 1.8 cm, and a touch more duration. The 1.8 cam gives a 2-4 hp increase depending on application and the GT cam ( I'm guessing ) gives 4-5 hp but mostly at higher rpm. You really won't see to much of a difference between the 2 but on the track it might make a differnce of, say .1 at best in the et ( I'm theorizing here ) Now the GT cam has been said to make the idle rougher, the 1.8 cam doesn't in most cases etc etc etc. Now Search again for GT cm, 1.8 cam, 2001 elantra cam there's tons of stuff on it already.

 

first of im not a newbie!! just cuz im not a post whore and i mostly listen instead of post unless i really need to doesnt make me NEWBIE!!
second ur missing the point of my question

it was can i put a gt cam in my 1.8L TIBBY
and if its possible is it a good idea
and i did search and NO ONE HAS ASKED THIS SPECIFIC QUESTION!!!

so much for gettin my q's answered.
3 useless posts
and 1 of stuff i already know (cuz i did the search)

Yes you can and it will give you results. We've done it to a '97 Elantra here in Vegas.

the question could be answered by YOU if you really did some good searching...

old 2.0 cam < 1.8 cam < GT cam. This should be easily seen.

IF you can swap the 1.8 for the old 2.0, AND you can swap the new 2.0lantra for the old 2.0, THEN we can INFER...

You can swap the new lantra cam for the 1.8 cam and see similar gains to swapping the 1.8 cam into an old 2.0 head.

You really could have figured that out if you had done enough thinking after a half-decent search. That is why you got flamed.
