cams

[djnonstop]

im looking into cams and camgears for my car , ive already found info on cam gears , i also read that for cams i should change the intake cam with and altima intake came and change the exhaust cam with one out of a 91 240sx, does anyone know if this is true ? and which year altima should i get it from? i have a 95 240sx :help

I've never heard of dropping in Altima cams...but then again, I haven't been around 240s all that long, so I could be wrong.

I have heard about swapping other year/model cams.. I think someone said about an Altima exhastcam into the KA intake.

Personaly, I think your asking for a headache.. go to PDM and checkout their cam grinds.

Damn I can't believe that is still going around. Altima cams DO NOT WORK. The S13 cams will, and are a mild upgrade for S14s. JWT, Shadbolt, Gude, and several other make cams as well. Do a search.

what about the cams from PDM??

Just buy 2 damn exhaust cams and do it the cheap and proven 4 link way (shae, me, and soon to be russ), or repin one to go not so cheap but dead on way, or the brand new repinned chunk of money nissan motorsports way. Any of these will offer a 248 intake cam, that works.

Or you could buy an altima cam and tell us how it works out hehehe (dont really as we know).

BTW russ / shea after nearly devastating my engine (well not really that bad but it could have gone either way as 3!=4 hehe what if it was 5 DOH), post to come on FA after I get some sleep tonight (38hrs of nothing but a 45 min nap 13hrs ago) and after a possible 248-240 swap tommorow (gotta pop the cover for a new gasket anyway.... why not eh?), I now run the 248-232 setup.. hehe

Edit search FA shea, as a member has the gudes, and pdm distro's shadbolts. Russ is a KA runner, and so are the gudes hes talking about.

I believe JWT uses their 240sx cam in the Altima (98+) as well.I'm not trying to start anymore rumors, but I'm just curious as to why you can use a cam designed for the 240sx in the 98+ altima, but it does not work the other way around. Some newbie said that he heard someting about a drive gear for the distributer, which sounds great in theory, because it would explain the cam not being backwards compatible, but I ain't seen no distributer drive gear on my cams when I did my swap. Shall we call in the almighty asad for this one?

Only joking I appreciate your vast knowledge dude

TIA
