Default NA cams in a turbo?

After doing a quick search, I could not find what year NA cams will work in a turbo. I thought Gabe used 1993's? Will any year NA cams work in my 1994 turbo?

Any year will fit, but apparently the 1993 NA cams had the largest duration.

You can if you want. I have both of mine set at TDC and they're fine.

Was at the pull a part yard today, and got a pair of 1998 V70 NA cams. Will they work? All the 850's had really high mileage on them.

Should be fine, I dont think you need to worry about mileage on them. Sounds like you already 'GOT' them. Do you have a Mic at home that you can see the difference? Its not much but you can see with a mic. Here are my 93's...guess which is which (N/A vs Turbo)...

N/A on the left, Turbo on the right. There is about a mm more lift but you can hardly tell with the eye.

LOL... the one on the right looked like it has a wider lobe.... but a more narrow lobe means taller which means higher lift....

I wish to change my answer...

you can leave timing at tdc or you can choose to play around with it a bit. I know that the ard tune suggests +2/-2 on can timing with their tune...
