Swapping intake for exhaust cam??

Post by 77amc »

Has anyone done/heard of using two 'turbo' intake cams in the same head?
By that I mean swapping the exhaust for an intake cam..
Looking to swap the 'stock' 4g61t cams for the 'stock' 2.0 turbo cams (just because I'm cheap) and thought that I read about this somewhere but can't seem to find it.

Thanks E

Someone once mentioned that on the 4g61t.org forum. Apparently it's something someone once did on a Nissan? I don't think it holds any validity on a 4g6x, but I could be mistaken.

whats the worst thing that could happen from trying? losing a few minutes of life to a possible success? try it and report back with your findings lol
I think there's a good chance that it'll actually work... it looks like it would but I don't have a spare set of cams to mess with on a spare head... but it really looks like it would work...
I read something somewhere about the casted letter on the cams being related to the duration of the cams and that a few cars came out with 264 cams from the factory like the 94 Galant GS and a few turbo eclipses and such.

OK, here's another thing..

Can EVO cams be used in the standard 4gxx motors (like my 4g61t)

They are really cheap and heck, for the price they would be just he ticket for me..
