Guess I'll have to find out!

 

I guess so . I'm excited some info is finally going to come to light about this stuff.


...and now you can make a LNF cam swap how-to with picture documentation too!

 

Oh Naw! Not this again! LOL!

 

I'm gonna do my LEA exhaust camshaft swap today! Can't wait to see how it is! Keep you folks posted!

 

oh oh. he never came back, I think he died doing the cam swap.

 

It sure looks that way

 

Nope! LOL! You guys! UPDATE! This camshaft is worth it! It spool turbo quicker and it does woke the car up!

 

Did you get a chance to measure the stock camshaft? Is it smaller than 35.97 mm (what you measured the LEA camshaft)?

 

It's the same measure but the durations are a tad bigger. I do have a picture compared side by side but I can't upload it on my iPhone. Seems like it's not letting me upload it. You can check out my image and it's there. LEA exhaust camshaft durations are tad bigger and it hold down that rocker arms better than LNF does. Cause when you're in high load of rpm and LNF camshafts does not hold down that rocker arms then it'll just pop out. 2010 Equinox intake and 2013 Equinox LEA exhaust camshaft hold that rocker arms in it's place really good. I did rev it up to 4 thousand rpm today and my turbo just quickly spool and it just push you back to the seat. I'm still on stock tune...I haven't get it tuned yet until I get it tune I'm sure it'll be a blast!

 

In the image you'll see right is LNF and left is LEA.

 

If youre still on stock tune wouldn't the car keep 260/260? You only revved up to 4000rpm? I shift near that when driving regularly...Good practice for keeping the clutch in good shape.

 

Well, I know I am on stock tune and I know I do have learn down in PCM. I'm telling you guys that my car react differently than it was. I was surprised that it does woke up the car that it shouldn't. I guess I had frankenstein my car! LOL!

 

Only way is for you guys find out is swap the camshafts then you'll see the difference.

 

Well Folks! Here's my little how-to...Hope you guys get what I'm saying. LOL! You don't need a special tools to take the camshafts out. You gotta take out the timing tensioner 1st slowly and make sure you watch the timing chain don't move from either of those 2 camshafts. Then remove camshaft holder but they have to be in exact place when you remove them then put it back exactly where it was and torque to spec. Cam gears you have to have 24mm wrench to hold camshaft and I think 18mm bolt to get that camshaft gears off. It's best to have somebody help you hold the cam gears and timing chains in order to take out camshafts. Do the intake camshaft 1st then put back everything in place then exhaust camshaft. After you put everything back then rotate the engine when you put timing tensioner back in 1st before you rotate to see if it's lined up...If it's lined up then you're home stretch!

 

So did you get tuned yet? I'm curious what a tuner will say about the cams, if it's a noticeable flow increase vs what they'd expect with stock cams at the same PSI.

 

No, I haven't got tuned yet...I had been busy lately and working.
