hey guys. Its there any difference between the 97 head to the 99 head?
or just the camshafts is what it change?

i have a 98 tiburon with a 99 engine and i just rebuild the block. The headi had on the 99 engine went bad.

is there any problem is a put the 97 head on my 99 engine block?
i am just gonna put the head, i am gonna put the 99 camshafts.

thanks.

 

1997-2001 all use the Beta I motor.... in 1.8L and 2.0L. The differences lie in the size of the motor.

If they are both 2.0L or 1.8L then they will match up.

 

all 97-01 heads (1.8 or 2.0) are the same.

 

^^ Ty, I wasn't sure if 1.8 and 2.0 were exactly the same so I didn't want to say it.

 

Thanks guys for the replies.

also whats the difference between 1.8 intake camshaft and 2.0 intake camshaft?
if i change the 2.0 camshaft for the 1.8 camshaft would it make any difference, if i do so, do i have to chaage the ecu also?

 

1.8L cam is set up differently so it makes slightly more top-end power. Nothing crazy, but a bit of a difference.

And no, the stock ECU is able to adjust for something that small on its own.

 

If you look at the head, you will find it labeled "1.8, 2.0" (two numbers). Heads are the same.

You can search for 1.8 cam on this site, you'll find a lot of information about it.
