Discuss....... lol
Your views after some fast road cams for a x16xe what would be the best:
Duration
Lift
Etc
To run on standard pistons,pullys and management
Cams are going in to a x18xe1 heard most lift you can get is 10mm before piston to valve contact is this true ?
Been told to get 256 degree and 9.45 lift
What are your thoughts
Cheers hodgy

would be good to see it done and no doubt gains will be achieved but if your going all out may aswell upgrade pistons and that sbd management if they make it for 1.8. sounds like a rocket in the making

dont know much on them engines mate, but go for it. going to help a mate up the road put one in a nova gte soon. the poor shell has sat in his garden for too long now...
wouldn't the management be a hell of an upgrade for similar price on them though?

Its lift thats main prob with stock pistons, u can hav 288dur bt only 9.5, 10mm etc lift.
U cud run a 264dur + 10mm lift, just do a dummy build...find out stock cam specs, then pt plasticine on crown, time up + c wot clearance is. I.e. Stock cam 9mm lift, clearance with stock piston pockets 3mm, u cud run a 10.5mm lift cam and have the recommended minimum of 1.5mm pis-valve clearance.

Blanks are beta than reprofiled, reprofiled cams can lead to lifters jacking up or bursting.
