As above. I'm converting my Cabbie to EFi and was wondering if the cams are the same for both cars as I bought a new cam not so long ago which I want to keep using.

Cheers

80% sure the FRST used the N/A EFI cam, not the RST cam. The difference is minimal though.

The EFI cams are a little better designed and produce a little more power than the earlier cams as far as im aware.

99.9% sure an MFI XR3i and RS share the same cam, as do the EFI XR3i and FRST.

So it will be fine

Nice to know. It'd be a shame to not use the new cam for a bit longer.
