Sanchez Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 not sure if the problem had been resolved with the speedvision cams but from what i read over on tgtt they were utter shite Quote
Rossi ep91 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 not sure if the problem had been resolved with the speedvision cams but from what i read over on tgtt they were utter shiteis there any other cams which i can uprate to ??? Quote
Amjad Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 I've heard the only Cams to go for are Cruise ones? Quote
steed Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 caution! OEM toyota re-grounds do not hold up well (mainly -FE series head regrinds). i speak from experince, had a set of 4A-FE cams reground (done professionally, he even had to make up a special chuck because of the shape of the camshaft ends) to 290 duration and had arrow precision custom shims made for the application. once installed this sounded mental on idle but after only 300 miles (not even run in) the soft ferrous camshafts had been eaten by the hardened shims (£300 worth of shims!). the engineer who ground my cams said he was never going to do a set again because they were horrible to work on and very soft.

Rossi ep91 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 Why would forging = problems?I've been told you dont have reliability with a forged engine more things to go wrong but just goin by what I've been told Quote
Asad Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 tbh its true most forged engines just shit themselves......which forged engine has been abused as much as a standard unit and done just as many miles??? Quote
rorenapier Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 How are forged engines unreliable? Please do share.What goes wrong with them?Its people that think there bullit proof and dont look after them, its them that there engines have problems.OR They havent been built properly from the startBut please dont say there unreliable, just because your "brothers, aunties motor had problems"ANYWAYback to the topic in hand, stay away from any Speedvision product, everything ive seen from him is utter shite.Seriously lacks any quality about it, Quote
Asad Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Where did brothers/aunty come into this??.....failits just my general opinion about them just like you have yours......here in the UK people throw far too much money into the 4E than whats actually necessary to obtain a reliable power figure.id wait for some cams to be brought into the market that are of satisfactory quality untill then id explore other avenuesP.s till you can find a forged engine which answers my question above my opinion will never change ill take a low miler/standard rebuild anyday Quote
rorenapier Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Simple metaphor of hear say. Surley you have some brains??Thats fine on opinions, but if your going to be giving the motor a hard life, then the forged internals do take more than standard pistons.As for mileage, ive done 30,000 miles on mine, kinda hard to get alot of miles on an engine, within 3 years. 170 psi across all 4 cylinders to boot. Where did brothers/aunty come into this??.....failits just my general opinion about them just like you have yours......here in the UK people throw far too much money into the 4E than whats actually necessary to obtain a reliable power figure.id wait for some cams to be brought into the market that are of satisfactory quality untill then id explore other avenuesP.s till you can find a forged engine which answers my question above my opinion will never change ill take a low miler/standard rebuild anyday ;) Quote
Sanchez Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Im with Rory on this one, i dont understand how a forged engine would be unreliable.Why would people spend thousands of pounds on an engine for it to fail.An engine is only as good as the person who looks after it imo, if its serviced and maintained well then it will go forever just like any other engine.

Rossi ep91 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 basically im just trying to gather as much info as possible i dont know whats reliable or not im just goin by what I've been told, im looking for more power to be driven hard and cuz of the way i use my car mainly on track im always checking it over servicing etc but just want to have the reliability there too..?

rorenapier Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 If you want reliability, dont go to far on the power modification on a standard motor.I dont know your spec, but if you track it alot, look at your chassis first, and brakes, this will help in going faster around track. Quote
