Install the cams with the same LCA of your current cams and you won't have any problems.

The car has camshafts in it, or so I would assume it does, if it runs.

Compare the lobe center angle of the current cams to the installed exhaust cams, as long as that matches up it will work fine.

If you don't know what a lobe center angle is, you probably shouldn't be d!ck with your camshafts.

To make this simple: Install the S13 exhaust cams as per service manual specs. Then, rotate the intake cam COUNTERCLOCKWISE teeth.

I think it's either 3 or 6 teeth.

It's 4.

4 teeth CCW.

Make note of the # of links between the pins on the stock cam, so you have a point of reference.

no the car didnt have current camshafts. i bought it with a blown motor and the guy b4 me had been d!ck with it not me. all i did was rip the engine out and bought another 93 xhaust cam. i had thought the 93 engine block was fine but it wasnt. so now i am trying to buy a 95 obdI ka and the entire purpose of this thread was me asking you guys if i could use the two 93 exhaust cams the 95 thats all!!! And btw in doing the cam swap will i also need to have my ecu retuned ?
