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

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
