Just wondering why Type R or N/A cams are bad for turbo. It's a dumb question but we all learn somewhere. And what is different about turbo cams from N/A cams?

Thanks.

 

NA cams have more overlap, which isnt good for a turbo'd car..

 

Can you explain more?

 

Overlap is when both intake and exhaust are open at the same time. When this occurs with a turbo engine the cylinders don't properly scavenge., or properly push out all the 'naties' so they stay in the cylinder. Since the 'nasties' are already spent they just take up space that clean fuel and air could use. Not to mention they create hot spots and increase the chance of detonation. It' advisable to tune out the overlap with Type-R or NA cams.

We went through this like a week ago where were you?

 

He's a lazy bum what do you expect! Haha...

 

 

Can you show me that post?
