i was just wondering if i could use s13 cams in a fwd sr20?

 

yes. but you need to change the pin that locks the cam sprocket in place on the Exhaust cam

 

thank you very much!!!

 

Only thing to avoid...

DO not use the GTi_R cams. they are totally diffent in base circle and lifter design. i think some people sell them as the Euro spec cams.

 

the ramp rate is completely different as well!!!!

 

any thoughts about what kind of cams to use? ive only seen list for the jwt cams. i know hks makes some (at least i think). im very new to nissan's so bare with me im sorry.

 

what year and model SR are you running and ...is it NA or turbo?

 

91 sr20de (out of a 91 nx2000) rebuilding with 8.5:1 cp pistons and eagle h beams....turbo

 

honestly, if you are keeping the stock sleeves, you should look into running some SR20DET rods, something out of like an S13+ or GtiR. You can probably get them in perfect condition for much less than a set of forged rods; Stock SR20DET rods are good for as much horsepower as the stock sleeves can handle.

 

Well, Eagle H-beams are a nice light rod. but strength wise they are probably only as strong as a stock DET rod. The reason DET rods are so cheap for their strength though is mass. the DET rods are 621g, Eagles are 520g, GTi-R rods are like 650g!!! I think eagles are a great choice for someone who is rebuilding a DE to go turbo. now...rebuildting a DET...tahts another story. i woudl stay stock just becase you have good rods already. However...I have seen alot of people make really good power on the stock DE rods and they are probably even lighter than the Eagles.

I talk to some really big names in the FWD scene on a daily basis...i will ask them their opinion.
