hi............ I haven´t wrote since a long time ago...

I need some way to notice if I already have the 1.8cam in my car.

I was reading a lot of this since I entered here, and most of the people says that it feels more power after the 3krpms until red line, and I feel that in my car..

I want to install this cam ( 1.8 ) in my car, but I feel my car the way you say it supossed to feel the car after install this cam. When I bought my car i havent installed anything, and it is a lot faster and other auto tibs. with the same mods.

I need some way to check the intake cam and notice if I have the stock cam or I already have the 1.8 cam.

is there a way ??

thanks

Chances are they did not change it. The 1.8l cam swap is not something most people would know about.

How can you be sure?

LOL

You drive a 2000 Tiburon. It's a 2.0.

You have a 2.0L Cam.

Are you the first owner?

He said he wasn't.

Sharkrev, had anything else been modified on the car when you bought it? If not, there's a good chance the cam hasn't been changed.

The point is. If you aren't the first owner, either contact the old owner and see if he did anything to it, or open the valve cover and look.
