Exploring Different Camshaft Profiles Available for Customizing Power Delivery on Mistubishi engines
π§ Blog Title: What to Know Regarding Various Camshaft Profiles One Can Use When Tuning Power Delivery in Mitsubishi Engines
π§ Introduction: Why Camshaft Profiles Matter in Mitsubishi Engines
For engine performance, the camshaft is the key to what makes your engine act β from torque creation to high-revving horsepower. For Mitsubishi engine owners or prospective buyers, camshaft profile tuning provides the keys to an unlimited universe of tuning possibilities. Exploring Different Camshaft Profiles Available for Customizing Power Delivery on Mistubishi engines
Whether youβre aiming for a high-revving race build, a torquey workhorse, or a well-balanced daily driver, choosing the right camshaft profile can transform the way your engine performs.
Here, we will discuss different camshaft profiles for Mitsubishi motors, their impact on performance, and how you can buy Mitsubishi engines pre-fitted or ready to go for custom cams. We will also have detailed specs on some of the most popular engines we offer so you can make a well-informed choice on your build or project.
π οΈ What Is a Camshaft and Why Should You Care?
The camshaft’s responsibility is to open and close your engine’s exhaust and intake valves. How it accomplishes this β i.e., how long the valve events last, how high they lift, and when they happen β decides how your engine inhales and exhales, and hence how well it performs.
A stock camshaft is generally performance-tuned for economy and durability. Yet, when you want more torque, RPM, or better throttle response, a performance camshaft is one of the most gratifying modifications.
π Camshaft Profile Types for Mitsubishi Engines
We will analyze the main cam profile types usually used to alter Mitsubishi engines.
1. π§© OEM/Stock Camshaft Profile
It is the stock camshaft that is supplied on Mitsubishi engines β performance-tuned for:
- Smooth idle
- Best fuel economy
- Broad powerband
β Best For: Street performance builds, modified utility vehicles, reliability-conscious applications.
Engines We Sell With Stock Cams:
- Mitsubishi L3E
- Mitsubishi S4Q2
- Mitsubishi G2300
2. β‘ Performance Camshaft (Street Profile)
These cams have been engineered to provide horsepower and torque, at mid-to-high RPM levels. They generally have:
- Increased duration
- Moderate lift
- Slightly rougher idle
β Best For: Street performance builds, modified utility vehicles.
Performance Engine Example:
- Mitsubishi 4G63 with mild cam profile (240Β° duration / 10mm lift)
3. π Racing Camshaft (Aggressive Profile)
They are optimized for maximum power at high RPM. They include:
- High lift (10.5mm+)
- Long duration (260Β°β300Β°)
- High overlap
β Best For: Racing, time attack, drag applications.
β οΈ Note: Needs upgraded valve springs, ECU tuning, and proper engine setup.
Engines We Can Customize or Provide for Racing:
- Mitsubishi 4G63
- Mitsubishi 6G72
- Custom builds by order
4. πͺ Torque Camshaft (Low-End Power)
These cams are intended to produce more torque at low RPM, and they are ideal for off-road, towing, or heavy-duty industrial applications.
β Ideal For: Utility trucks, generators, forklifts, construction equipment.
Engine Example:
- Mitsubishi S6S or S4S with performance torque cam (220Β° duration, 8.5mm lift)
We have cam customization options available on all heavy-duty engines based on application.
π Camshaft Specs Explained
When customizing or choosing a camshaft, the following specs are important:
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Duration | How long the valve is open |
| Lift | How much the valve opens |
| LSA (Lobe Separation Angle) | Controls idle quality and powerband width |
| Overlap | When both the intake and exhaust valves are open |
π Cam Specs: Street vs Race
| Cam Type | Duration | Lift | LSA | Ideal RPM Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stock | 210Β° | 7.5 mm | 110Β° | 1000β4500 |
| Street Performance | 240Β° | 9.5 mm | 108Β° | 2500β6500 |
| Race | 280Β° | 11 mm | 104Β° | 4000β8500+ |
| Torque | 220Β° | 8.2 mm | 112Β° | 1000β4000 |
