Can BT cams be used on SVT?

[olskool]

Hello Sifus,

Can BT cams be installed on SVT without any mods? Plug and play?

Are there any differences in lift?

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies.

what about the "klock klock"/taxi/diesel sound? I'm more into getting rid of that rather than power..hehe

Get a loud exhaust, you won't hear it already

Cam sure can plug in, but power gain is minimal... almost not noticeable. Better take the stock SVT cam and regrind it...
As for diesel sound, change to adjustable VVT pulley or replace the VVT pulley with a new one (if you want to retain VVT).
However, there's one place where you can service the VVT pulley which will get rid of that sound... costs about RM500 i believe.

Thanks for the input.

Didn't know there was someone servicing the VVT pulley and that was the reason why I bought the BT cams coz it looked way much newer compared to mine. I saw Chin's blog and didn't know how to get a brand new VVT pulley.

I'll try this out first and will update on the sound. If not, pls pass me the number to call for the service. Thanks!

vvt pulley got nothn to do wt the noise..there's nothn inside the vvt pulley except oil passage hole.juz pull it out n clean it with carburator cleaner spray.if u r lazy,juz add a can of engine flush n let ur engine run for about 20mins(to clean the vvt pully) b4 u change the engine oil.as for me,the noisy sound is the 20v trademark n i nvr bother...

No prob. Actually I'm not sure why you want to swap out the cams instead of the pulley which is usually the main culprit.

blacktopholics, actually inside the pulley there's a spring and moving parts which could wear out due to age and engine oil condition. Please refer to VVT pulley pictures: http://4age20v.blogsome.com/2008/11/19/vvt-pulley-internal-parts/
