The power change won't be worth the work. I believe ppl put s14 cams in their s13 and not the other way around

if you don't want to fuck the car up then don't do it.

because many guys i met told me the s14 ka24de cams have a smaller lift than s13cams , ... the size of s14 are 232 232, s13 are 240 248,.. give me some facts

^those are duration not lift, just because they're bigger doesn't necessarily mean there is higher lift

Silvia352 · 04-07-2012, 07:52 AM

to make a positive gain, you need a cam with larger lift.

i don't know what cam he is referring too, but the cam's duration might be larger but the lift isn't. the gain is from duration/lift combo

larger lift is an important factor in camshafts, i think this is what he is getting at.
