Ej25 cams with the ej22t- regrind or new turbo cams

Post by temjin »

I have seen many places say that you should replace the 2.5 cams when swapping in the 2.5 heads because they are N/A cams and not suited for turbo life. I dont argue the validity of this statement but I do ask, can have a regrind done so as to change the profile to that more of a turbo application? Or would that be a waste of time and money?

Read Xephyr's story in the sticky up top. He had Cobb turbo cams and HKS v3 STi 264 degree cams and kept coming back to the stock DOHC Ej25 cams.

Do a search on NASIOC for Graham and cams in the aftermarket forced induction forum. We discussed this in depth when Graham built his hybrid a couple years back...

short answer? Run stock cams.
