Spuddy Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Basically does a cam for a 1.3 be the same as one for a 1.3 GT Turbo?Found this website http://www.performancecentre.co.uk/p/sv_pl...1&PTC=CAM01Thats a Kent cam though, want to see if i can get a complete kit from Piper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EarL Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I doubt very much that the stock 1.3 has the same cam as the GT Turbo mate. The 4EFE is a high compression motor, where as the 4EFTE is a low compression due to it being a turbo, so the cam profile should be different.Running high lift cams on a turbo is normally a no no, as the turbo provides the "high" compression when it's on full boost. That's not to say it can't be done, just not a practicle thing to do.If your motor is destined for the street, I would look at a medium lift cam that's not too wild on its timing. Lots of people go for wild cams and loose loads of power low down.HTHEarL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaMaGe Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 4efe and 4efte cams are exactly the same. The difference apart from the material of the block is that the fte has low compression pistons Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spuddy Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 If you click on the ling and just do a search by car you can see the cams on there.Was looking at a 270/280 degree sport road cam operates between 2000 and 6000 rpm. Its not wild epensive and with the head coming off why not put one in, also going to get er remapped to sort any idleing probs out and get the most from my mods.I need to do alot of research before i commit to buying though, so most the weekend and a few days next week will be spent makin phone calls and reading Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaMaGe Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I've been looking into the difference in the cylinder heads recently. Camshafts are different between the 4efe and the 4efte. I'm unure of the exact physical changes made in the two but I'd hold fire until you can clarify these. No point spending your hard earned on a possible dead end mate.What is different Jay if you dont mind me asking ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spuddy Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Thanks Jay, i'll phone round and see what i can find out, i'll post up any findings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletboy Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 there not cams for a starlet turbo there for the old rear wheel drive starlet mate it says ohv(over head valve)not dohc(double over head cam) dont waste your money look on greenline.jp lots of cams on there for the turbos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 the fhe ones have slightly more lift, aparently an upgrade to be had there but no roling road comparisons have been done to verify this,im wandering if i stick my 4efe cams in my 4efte if would do anything for low end torque?
