ok so got some custom grind cams for my car 285.14 duration intake 276.24 duration exhaust 0.35921 peak cam lift intake

0.35728 peak exhaust cam lift.

now my issue is this, when i give it a some stick i get lifter noise and in some cases i get it missfireing sounds like a lifter isnt working correctly.

do i need bigger valve springs suited to the increase in lift?

cheers tim

used correct lube, did run them in.

yes still are std lifters, sure cam said they will be fine to use, but now im getting the issue with them.

could i get away with getting a new set of supertech upgraded springs or do i need lifters as well?

was considering going solid but alot of money to spend

ok so it says here to install these cams with intake/exhaust bucket lifts of .044"inch/ .015"inch at tdc for suggested intake/exhaust centrelines of 108*/116* respectively. use minnium valve spring loads: 70lbs on the seat, 195 lbs at full lift,280 lbs/inch spring rate approx.

i got no fing idea what i got to buy now, anyone got an idea or can put me onto someone who would know?

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
