Got a timing light and it was quiet retarded, fixed that and goes alot harder, just need to know if de's and det vct cams are set to the same degree from zero or different now
-
If that makes sense
-
Do you know if de's and det's are set to the same cam lift degree from zero from factory, or is the det set a degree or 2 more for more topend as they have a turbo for the majority of the middle?
-
I changed the whole unit, not just the outside gear, the knocking has stopped, reading up it sounds like timing, a mechanic mate is bringing his scanner over later and will plug it in, to make sure the timings right
-
So i changed the cam gear with one of a 25de neo, and i noticed that the cam gear was bolted up differently to the original one, the de one was bolted central to the vct and the det was bolted hard one way. I ran it how it was set and was lacking alot of top end and didnt keep pulling at all after 5000rpm, so i moved it the same way hard as the original one and still is lacking top end and it feels like its surging when you put your foot on it? Is it too advanced? Could the cas need adjusting?

Ok sweet as cheers guys
-
What needs to be repaired or replaced in there? Is it easier to get another cam?
-
The vct solenoid actuator? Ive changed that to another one from the old engine out of the car and does exactly the same thing? Or do they usually shit them self if they're sitting for a while
-
The timing is right, runs and accelerates perfectly

I was thinking it maybe a touch too tight, but i asked a few mechanic mates and theyr pretty sure its not cambelt, but i might pull the cover off and check the tension
