Back Cutting Exhaust Valves?

Just had my RB25DET cylinder head refurbished at Nagoya Precision in Hachioji. New guides, seats cut, grind valves and a shave, all for only 170000 Yen. I mildly ported the head while it was disassembled.

Anyway, the intake valves have a 30 degree back cut but the exhausts do not. All the research I have done indicates that back cutting improves flow at low lift. My tuner, Fujii Dynamics, says it's not needed because it's a forced induction engine.

I have a set of Tomei PonCams that will be installed.

Any opinions on back cutting?

You could have shipped the cylinder head over here, had the same job done and shipped back to you for about 50000 yen less.

Back cutting does provide some benefits but your engineer is correct that it has minimal effect on forced inducted applications.

      Is this saveable r32 gtr seat

      Yep that's a superb price and ther is no way you will over capitalise on you investment.  As to the bracket, again just use the passenger side seat  bracket ( obviously reversed ) as a sample to reshape it and in this case, TIG it back together.

      I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)

      Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
