Hey Folks, I did swap Equinox 2.4 intake camshaft with upgrade fuel lobe. I was trying to find a way to upgrade my exhaust camshaft...Does anybody know that LNF camshaft can be upgraded ? Like LHU exhaust camshaft ? If they have more lift than LNF ?

 

I found this on a website saying LE5 could interchange LNF exhaust camshaft.

Anybody ?

 

I am not sure about your question but thank you for that info!

 

LOL! I wanna know if anybody had experienced swapping LE5 exhaust camshaft in LNF ? Cause I see little larger lobes on LE5 exhaust camshaft...Since I swapped Equinox 2.4 intake camshaft with upgrade fuel lobe and I was searching for exhaust camshaft that can be swap. So, I found LE5 exhaust camshaft that can be swapped.

 

Update! 2012-2013 LEA exhaust camshaft are the way to go for our LNF!

 

yes, I read that is a good upgrade.

 

This is very interesting. Both camshafts are very cheap if I remember correctly. I'm curious what the power gains are from both. Good on you YelCal7 for figuring this all out.

 

Damn I just ordered new camshafts on ebay like 10 minutes ago

e/ : Alright, I don't know much about cars and I'm trying to figure out what a 2012-13 LEA is.. Anyone can help ?

 

the LEA motor comes in the following cars. I saw a 12' equinox cam going for about $80

2012–2013 Buick Regal
2012–present Buick Verano
2012–present Chevrolet Captiva Sport
2012–present Chevrolet Equinox

 

2012" Equinox is the wrong year. It needs to be 2010.

 

YelCal7, find out what kind of hp gains you got with the current cam you have. Then tell us what it is with the exhaust cam.

If its just a HPtune on 93 octane at 24psi that should give us a good hint. lol.

 

$80! PM Mongorat cause he got LEA exhaust camshaft for $50 shipped. I got it from him! WOOT!

 

That's not what Mongorat said, He said 2010 Equinox 2.4 intake camshaft and 2012-2013 Equinox 2.4 LEA exhaust camshaft. I asked him if it does lined up and he said yes.

 

I wonder what kind of benefits and hp gains this provides us since $50 is so cheap.

 

Bigger lobes, Can't complain! LOL! Sometimes there's a hidden treasures. When I installed Equinox 2.4 intake camshaft with upgrade fuel lobe for just $175 and noticed how my car reacted than it was.

 

haha
i got the bigger lobe intake cam from mongo for $140 shipped.
i wonder how the specs of the 2.4 exhaust cam compare to the cams zzp sells

Yep! Only way that I'll find out is take that 2.4 exhaust camshaft and ask the shop what's the lift for that camshaft ? I'll keep you guys updated!

 

Duration and lift

 

I found this.
GM's new modular Ecotec I4 architecture adds first variable intake-valve lift - SAE International

 

sorry I meant the intake cam. Yes your are correct.

 

how hard is it to change these cams?
cus its $xx for the cam, but not hard to install?

 

It's not that really hard really. You just got to have the right tools and patience! LOL!

 

This has me really interested now because it is literally less than $300 for both cams and can be done by yourself. Hmm....

 

$225 for 2010/2012-2013 Equinox 2.4 intake/upgrade fuel lobe and exhaust camshaft but send that stock LNF intake camshaft back to Mongorat then he'll give you back $25. That means you get it for $200, Great Deal!
