Switching my N/T cams with Tsi cams....what are these numbers

[flyinghighlm]

I ahve done alot of reading on this and narrowed my search down to a set of 92-94 Tsi cams from a m/t with the D,C set appearing the be the better one. I found a set from a 92 Tsi but I do not reconize this set of numbers : I see a 21, J, 3, E, 1 A on the ex. and 21, J, 3, E, 1 H on the intake. What am I looking at????

not sure about the numbers, but I believe you only need to change the intake cam because the exhaust cams are the same for both models. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

will this same cam replacement work for 90 n/t dsm's too?

 

[flyinghighlm]

as far as I know and from what I have read any 1G dsm will benifit from this swap, but you might wanna ask one of the wiseman or someone with alot more experiance to confirm what I think.

The swap will only work if you put them into a n/t 4g63, not a 1.8. But I'm sure most of you know that

No you only need to change the exhaust cam. The intake cams are the same for the n/t and the turbo m/t cars. They only made 2 different intake cams and 2 different exhaust cams.

On the exhaust side

the 1.3661 - 1.3585 was the n/t and turbo a/t cam and

the 1.3777 - 1.3974 was the turbo m/t cam.

On the intake side

the 1.3661 - 1.3585 was the turbo a/t cam and

the 1.3777 - 1.3974 was the n/t and turbo m/t cam

And will work for the 90 also Hope this helps.

thanks gsdewd, but did you mean the exhaust n/t & turbo a/t ranged from 1.3661 to 1.3858 instead of 1.3585? (likewise for the turbo a/t intake)

 

[Gs Dewd]

Heh yes I did it's 1.3858 not 1.3585

 

[kahlilj]

anyone have any estimates on what to expect the cost to be for a set of these cams? or what they paid for theirs??

 

[Gs Dewd]

There's some people on here selling them for like $50 or $100. You can make a add in the wtb section in the classified section for them.

so what's the significance of the numbers flying high referred to? is there any difference between the 90 & 91 exhaust cams versus the 92-94 exhaust cams??
