Comrade_Charlie Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I was reading a thread and someone said something about other cams. I have a 78 na engine in my 280z, would I gain anything from putting a cam in it from my 81 p90 head? I didnt know if the p90 cam was made for turbo, turbos need no valve overlap right? just a quick question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 If it is a hydrolic cam (p90a), you should not use it. Even if it is not, it will not be worth the work to "git er done". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardBlack Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 You need to check and set lash when changing cams. This is a substantial cost and can rival the cost of regrinding the cam, itself. Check on the forums or atlanticz.ca; there is a chart around somewhere as to which vehicle had which cam and what the specs are. Off of the top of my head, there is very little difference. Hydraulic and non-hydraulic should not be mixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
