16 valve SOHC camshaft specs

Superfly...i've checked cam specs on Esteem 1.6, and Swift 1.3 16 valve SOHC engines, and found them to be almost identical. You've said the 1.6 tracker/Geo (truck) engine has a different cam, do you recall how different it is?

What are you up to now?

I'm just gathering parts for further testing, and wondering if i should grab the cam from a truck engine before it's too cold to go outside....Brrrr, Winterpeg!
I will probably post a lot of dyno results of Turbo Suzuki engine testing starting in January.

Stop fooling around and put a real cam in that thing.

I have a few different versions of real cams...all for the twin cam head...and for the moment, i'm having some single cam fun! ...yes, it'd be nice to have a better cam for the SOHC too, and know that you're more than up to the task, but i've put such huge effort into a real twin cam project, that i can't justify spending a lot on the single cam, just to put it in the corner as a spare.

let me know how that truck cam works out for you.

trucks have a distributor drive gear on the back instead of the trigger for the CMP.

So, for more low end vacuum, for throttle response and pulling power, for a 1993 Tracker G16A, I should source a G13A cam?
Distributor that would be compatible with that would be....?
Can said cam and distributor be utilized w/removing the existing low mile head?

Going to premium gasoline is no problem, that might be the only downside I can see. (cyl Press)

I'm new here, and new to the brand, but I do know what I am doing in a general sense of modding and cam specs.

who does regrinds for G16a's? Looking for more lift, less dur. (Yeah, I'm weird...lol)

id like 2 know also.

Is the reground camshaft for the G13B (distributor type) and G16B (distributorless type) the same one?

I generally grind the same profiles on both of them.

What I meant is, can a cam from a G13B head be used in a G16B head? Does it require any modifications to be made given that the G16B is distributorless? In India I have heard some tuners say that the end bit of the cam that houses the connection to the distributorless type can be swapped from the G13B's to the G16B's and can be used on the Baleno. Wanted to know if such a thing is possible or not.

If the G16 is dist-less, then they are the same cam.

Yes the G16B we get here is Distributorless type. Whereas the G13B we get in India is distributor type. So was wondering how they could use a cam from a distributor type engine and use the same on a distributorless type setup.

You can't do it without a lot of work.

Yes I know its an old thread....
But does anyone know the rocker ratio on the sohc 16v 1.6 ?

Give or take, about 1.5. The numbers listed are gross lift, so the lobe dimensions would be the lift divided by 1.5.
