JTStarlet92 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Are the 5efe cams the same as 4efe ones as I have a set lying about and wondered if they would a difference to performance in my n/a? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 5efe ones are the same as 4efe its the 5efhe cams you need for any sort of gains Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 my understandin is the 5e cams r different as I've had both side by side and they r noticably different and I've also been told that theyll make a difference in my 4efte me n dave have built for the SR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JTStarlet92 Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 See, I thought that after looking at your thread! Surely they have to be slightly higher lift because the 5e stroke is longer? That was my logic to it anyway, maybe someone can point me in the correct direction Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 accordin to ma pal whos probably the most knowlegable on all these sites, it does aid acceleration hence y i hav them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 after actually having tried them all, the 5efe and 4efe ARE the samebut the 5efhe are the better ones as they do have higher lift and slightly more duration Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 when applied to a 4efte there ARE differences as they have been tried and tested on a glanza a friend has and hes adament there IS a difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 there the same. i can get the lift and duration specs for you when i go back to collegehe may be using the 5efhe cams Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 u dont need to act smart by bringin me the facts when I've got them here mate, my 5e cams r DEFO different to the 4e 1s as I've had them in my hands then in2 the engine when it was bein built (check my thread)i must hav the 5efhe bad boys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 if you've got the facts you'd know the 4efe 4efte and 5efe are the sameand that the 5efhe cams are the different/better onesalso just because your friends adament theres a difference doesnt mean there is. like ricers who fit big airfilters and claim there 0-60 is down by a secondim not acting smart im just telling it how it is, ive also had 5efe cams and 5efhe cams in my old n/athe 5efhe are the ones that make a difference, your probably using those Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Im suprised that the fte uses the same as the n/a's you would have thought that they would be a different because its for turbo aplication.But i guess its not exacty a hi performance engine in stock form :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 the lift doesnt need to be any different because of the difference in pistons and compression Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 also just because your friends adament theres a difference doesnt mean there is. like ricers who fit big airfilters and claim there 0-60 is down by a secondhes tested them enough times to know.and everyone knows that on a 1l corsa the 0-60 times r slashed by an easy 2.5secs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 they must be 5efhe cams then not 5efeunless hes advanced the fuel timing slightly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I've found out they r, so I've now got a freshly built 4efte with 5efhe cams! SHHHHHHTIIIIIIING! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Xpect Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 In the 5E there are the same cams as in the 4E. The FHE are better and more sturdy cams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
