Back Cutting Exhaust Valves?

Just had my RB25DET cylinder head refurbished at Nagoya Precision in Hachioji. New guides, seats cut, grind valves and a shave, all for only 170000 Yen. I mildly ported the head while it was disassembled.

Anyway, the intake valves have a 30 degree back cut but the exhausts do not. All the research I have done indicates that back cutting improves flow at low lift. My tuner, Fujii Dynamics, says it's not needed because it's a forced induction engine.

I have a set of Tomei PonCams that will be installed.

Any opinions on back cutting?

You could have shipped the cylinder head over here, had the same job done and shipped back to you for about 50000 yen less.

Back cutting does provide some benefits but your engineer is correct that it has minimal effect on forced inducted applications.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
