RPW Camshaft

Well i havnt seen anyone else selling any for the 4G94...except RPW...does anyone else make one? or in the process of making one? i'm in the process of rebuilding the head off my old 4G93 for the G94 and i obviously didnt want to use the factory components...just wondering what anyones input was in this...

G93 = G94 same head

obx doesn't make a cam, especially not camshaft.

yes i know they are the same head...but the cam is not the same.

ive never heard of OBX making cam's for any car...maybe a adustible cam gear...which may be the same as the 1.8...anyone know if thats true?

obx has one listed on their site:

BX702 Lancer 02- 2.0L DOHC n/a $129.00

OBX link

Whether or not this will actually fit our cars remains to be seen. It lists DOHC whereas our car is SOHC.

Here's the member who states he has the OBX Cam gear:

traxstarz prof.

Its in his description. He was selling parts off his car and I asked if he was selling the cam gear or underdrive pulley .. he said no as he didn't have anything to replace it with. I dunno if thats for real or not .. feedback is always welcomed. (just providing information)

OBX has claimed to have had several parts for the Lancer for over a year now and I think less than a handful of them have actually been made. Try running some searches for OBX parts and I'm sure you'll find what I'm talking about.

I'm actually surprised that RRM hasn't tried working out a cam for our cars yet... they have most other parts that you would want at a decent price w/o international shipping ect! I'm sure it would help out the stage 2 turbo setup too!!

Cam takes a lot of R&D effort, and the market to sell for lancer isn't as high for selling to H&A guys.
