I'm looking into purchasing some JUN cam gears but you have to either purchase them in Solid type or Lash type. Can someone please let me know what is the difference is them between the two. Also if anyone has installed JUN cams with or without an upgraded turbo can you let me know what you think of your cams so far.

 

Lash type

 

I'm curious about the difference as well.

 

Sounds like cams for solid vs. hydraulic lifters. Solid will have higher rpm potential.

Maybe somebody who has actually bought JUN cam can chime in to elucidate.

 

There is a slight difference in prices of the two. Solid type Stage 2 $1,293, and Lash type in Stage 2 $1,238. Now I am now wondering if there is a difference in tuning with the two.

 

Lash type lifters use a shim for setting valve lash (exaple: WRX) the cam is ground differently from a cam used in a hydraulic lifter set up like the Evo (which uses hydraulic lifters and rockers) so you actually need the solid type

 

Do you have the solid type stage 2 on hand, or do I have to buy everything piece by piece? "gears, springs, and retainers"

 

Pardon me, but shouldn't that be the other way around?
As in Lash Type Camshafts from JUN are meant for vehicles running the hydraulic lifter setup and the Solid Type are for those who have converted to running solid lifters. Both camshafts share similar lift and duration but Solid Type Camshafts have more aggressive ramp profiles which would put undue stress on the hydraulic lifters.

Can someone confirm this?

 

Actually you are correct for the Jun cams.

We can't stock stage 1 or 2 though because they pick the retainers and springs to match the cam profile you choose

 

Alright well if I get the Solid type with springs and retainers, should there be anything else that I should look into besides EMS, Turbo, and Head Studs. Also what is the best all around JUN cam setup i.e. 264/264, 264/272, 272/272. I tried searching thru the forums (so I hope no one gets pissed off saying do a search) but they mainly cover HKS cams, and from what I've seen JUN are more aggressive than the HKS and others.
