Hi people

i am relatively new to forums so bear with me if i get some stuff slightly wrong.

I am currently building a 30det with a 25de head. I have gtr valve springs i am going to slap in(cause common knowledge is they float, according to my research)

I have full rebuilt the bottom end, crank collar, n1 oil pump, degalzed, new rings, polished and rebalanced crank, new bearings all round, new waterpump.

I have just managed to get a 25de head the other day, looks good but am going to take it to the engine shop and get it checked out to be safe anyway, can't imagine anything more worse than slapping it together and wondering why i keep chewing through head gaskets.

I have done everything else to motors bar one thing: headwork.

Now my question is this : the head has come with 20det r32 camshafts, and i am wondering if they are going to be any good, or if there is any much point to having them. I have looked up the lift specs:

http://www.tomeiusa.com/_2003web-catalogue/e090_camshaft-specs.html

the cam chart seems to say that the only difference is the exhaust cam. Its lift is .5 more and its degrees is 8 more. Is there any real benefit to this? or would i be best to just get some 25de cams and chuck them back in?

am i wrong or am i reading the chart right? cam work is something i havent dabbled in before, never been brave enough so any help is appreciated

thanks guys

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
