NA cams in a 7mgTe?
 

Just ran across some one trying to sell 7mge cams.
they said that 7mge cams in a 7mgte will give you a horse power increase of 25-40hp...
Is this true?
if so, do you need to run higher octain?
if any one has info please tell!!

Its not true.
Search.

The intake camshaft stays open longer by 10 degrees iirc but the exhaust camshaft is the same. It is not that much more horse power but I think it was a little more but not that much.

Its more of a torque gain in the lower RPMS

Yeps, thats what I was looking at but I didnt want to post the link because I was thinking of buying it....

if its some increase It might just be worth the $30. I was just looking for quick cheap and easy way to get a little more power, while I was doing my head gasket.

I search, and came up with nothing, thats why I posted...

just came up with close to a real answer and the tread ends with people say "do a search" (you see where the system brakes down?)

Cams in general are more of moving the powerband around.

great genral knowlage... now how does it apply?
what does the NA cams do for the turbo engine?
lower the power band so you have more lower end 'grunt'?

Well ovbiously if you wouldve read my posts earlier in this thread I already stated what it does on the turbo engine....

From what I have research, na cams in your 7m-gte are good for a few ft/lbs and even some horse power, but they wont withstand the abuse if you are running alot of boost or are aiming to hit high numbers, ie. over 300-350 horse. So if you are pretty much stock, then you will probably notice a nice increase, if you are looking for a reliable high horse power build stay away. Also make sure the cams are in good shape or you might risk jacking your valves as well as you guides, that could get pricey...
