weeman Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I'm looking at using a set of 5e cams in my 4-efte build. My friend keeps telling me to use a set of 5e cams on my td04 build, anyone actually using a set of these would like a bit of info on the gains u get or if its worth doing. Hope to here a few opions from you guysCheers steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whiteglanzav Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 the only cams that make any difference are the 5efhe cams and they only make a marginal difference but if you were gunna do that then use a 5efhe headthe 5efe cams are the same as the 4efte ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 there has been masses of threads and arguments on this over the years... there was a big thread on the pro's/cons over on tgtt.i have a vague remembering that there are gains to be had with 5efhe as there is a slightly greater lift, but whether the effort of getting them in, sorting end caps etc was beneficial to the gains provided. Also you would need to map the ecu to the new cams as lift and duty would be effected.i think thats what i remember from the conversations Quote Link to post Share on other sites
