Datamine has an Alted stage 2 AU Cam in his EL hybrid. Good cam, I was looking at one for my normal EL, but settled for a stage 3 instead

AFAIK I dont think that they made EL XR hybrids, I think Datamine told me this and he knows his stuff about them. Please do correct me if Im wrong Chris

If u have a hybrid, u need to use AU spec cams. Ihave a standard I6 EL hybrid, went to Crow, and they told me to put in an AU spec cam. Works fine

Thanks downing. Of course manual :p.
I have never been in love with a car so much. I wanted one since they came out when i was like 13 - and to pick up the 98 model with low k's I was stoked. So happy to get home and open up that bonnet to see my old friend the I6 once again. The Lancer was a good car, very reliable and ridiculousy fuel efficient. But the XR is in a class of it's own :p. |

welcome my friend! I got the exact same car in the same colour with low k's (non-hybrid) and I know your joy
did it come with new extractors exhaust or are you doing that after cams? |

Tis true I've got a ALTED (RPD?) AU Stage 2 cam - yes Jaysen it's still in, seems to take WEEKS for the ECU to learn it.
They did have hybrid XRs. Head part numbers start: 96DA (stock) 96DT (XR6) where non-hybrid heads were 94DA 94DT (XR6) ie. same as EFs

g&d do a decent cam for the au aswell ,i'm currently running one in mine at the moment .performance wise it is very similar to a jmm dev 4 ,which i used to run .the g&d cam makes a little more hp than the dev4 but loses a bit of torque .the plus side is that the g&d cam is a billet and there's no d**k around with shims .
