What camshaft should i get for a d16a6 turbo project? I heard that you want high lift, but no overlap. ???? Anybody got any suggestions?

thanks

The gain in top end will almost always be offset by a huge loss in the lower powerband and more turbo lag. Stock cams are the way to go on most turbo street engines. Don't waste your money on so called "turbo cams" for 4 and 6 cylinder engines. These may boost economy slightly but they almost always lose power. Most of these were designed by guesswork rather than by actual turbo experience. 4 Valve engines in general when turbocharged do not need hotter cams for the street.</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

what about crane cams

part number
251-0014
Advertise Duration: Int=232 / Exh=228
Duration @ .050: Int=206 / Exh=202
Lobe Separation: 110
Gross lift: 394/376

Stock
Advertise Duration: Int=222 / Exh=224
Duration @ .050: Int=194 / Exh=196
Lobe Separation: 110
Gross lift: 333/362


it's slightly more duration then stock, but with a lot more lift? They said on the site, that the exhaust is less then the intake duration to promote spool up.

 

The zex 59300 cam helps with spool

I'd be interested in dyno tests of some turbo cams. I'm sure someone has done it, just not as common as the skunk vs. jun wars.
