1g cams on a 2g ???

[jonnygsx]

Is it really worth putting 1g cams on a 2g? How much of a gain do you get?

No its not.. If your going to go through the trouble of putting in cams then spend the loot to get aftermarket cams.

I'm with Larry on this one.

If you get the cams for free, or just happen to have the valve cover off and the cam caps popped off for some reason - and the cams come in under say 50 bucks - throw them in there.

A local guy did it, haven't heard word on any improvement though. Best of luck, but seems more like a conditional matter ( motor runs > 1G cam swap ) to me.

Best of Luck,

Well 1G cams are alot better than 2g. A friend of mine had 1G cams on his 96 GSX and ran an 11.88 with a 20G. If your on a budget and can't afford the HKS then i would definitely go with the 1G cams. They are easy to install and you will see performance gain.

Well, I hope they are worth it. I just put a 14b and 1g cams in my 2g. The head was already off the car(timing belt went) and a buddy had an extra set, so I said "why not".


FREE= GOOD!!

Whats different about that vs 2G cams, Im sure you can do the same on 2g cams?

1G cams are better but the improvement is so minimal that it not worth the 3 hours to me to install the dumb thing. I agree what people are saying. If it's free and you happen to be doing a timing belt.
