So I'm doing the cam swap for my e85 mix set up. Just need to know what else I need for the swap. Should I get valve springs? I don't think I should, but some other people think otherwise.

This what I have so far:

2011 2.4l exhaust & intake
Bearing set for lnf (not for sure if it comes with bolts)
E85 hp fuel pump
Opel injectors (stock injector in3rd cyclinder is going bad, keeps miss firing every now and then)
GM Stage 1 sensors


Future parts in july or june:
Rear and front trans mount
Clutch (not for sure what clutch tho)

 

u can use cams off the equinox on the lnf?

 

Yes they use a 2.4 DI eco

 

Did anyone ever find out what the actual differences are? I remember a thread a ling time ago about this but i dont remember seeing any actual data.

 

Pretty sure there was a write up saying they were different. Why do a full build and then skimp on cams?

 

Lol.. you forget where you are posting ?

 

Touché.

 

OP: You'll need the cams from a 2010 equinox NOT the 2011+. If I remember correctly the 2011+ cams will put the cam phasers almost 180* out.

you can do the swap with the right cams. problem is that there are nearly no gains. lot of work for nothing really

 

whats the benefit to Equinox cams? bigger fuel lobe??

nevermind, I just read the whole 2.4L DI Equinox cam swap thread. Matt wanted someone to send them a 2.4 DI intake cam from a 2010 Equinox to check the duration but it never happened. The lift max was definitely higher than the stock LNF intake cam but as far as gains, who knows.

 

I'm getting 2010 Equinox 2.4 intake camshaft soon, Then I'm gonna send it to ZZP!

 

Mongorat sells the 2.4 cams with a modified fuel lobe as a set. Might try hitting him up for prices

I did hit him up!
