Question 93 cams?

i talked tothis guy with a s14 and he is well over 300hp and is in the 12s with 15lbs of boost and he said that the 93 exhaust cams were better bc they had a higher lift and a diffrent duration and much better for a turbo application.Any body heard of this?

91 owns all KA cams. But 95+ pistons have higher compression., Now if you mix the two.... oooo....

nope its all lies

One thing to clear up is that 91 do not have any hotter cams than the other s13's

91 do have better cams but the best set up is two s13 exaust cams, the exaust cam taking the intake cams place has to be retarted like 6 noches in the timing chain though.

"S13 and S14 Nissan owners are well aware that their motors have lots of bottom end grunt and torque, but fall flat after 5500 rpm. This is due to the very mild and timid cam profiles that Nissan engineers put into the stock cams. True, the 1991 cams are the best of ALL the DOHC cams produced by Nissan, however our Stage II cams are TRULY 2 stages hotter than even the 1991 cams!! Dyno tested to make upper end hp, with moderate loss of lower end horsepower and torque, these cams have even passed strict B.C. Government Aircare emissions testing!

STOCK 91 Cams - Intake - 207 degrees duration @.050”, .350 lift; Exhaust 215 duration @.050”, .367 lift. "



Not saying that this is definitive proof. but it seems that this myth/fact is perpetuated all over the 240SX community. I suppose no one knows except for Catharsis.
