Input on power gains by swapping head.
These chambers can handle “ping” better then the ordernery E88/N42 chambers. The bigger cam will also help. Will see how it goes but I don’t see a big problem with it as many people seams to make it work with these type of heads. Will be running pump fuel 95 or 98.

First E88 EFI head is home. Still waiting on the second one. Now some cleaning, then wait for new rockers, valves, seats etc. Will be a slow project

Well, as usual things changed. I found and bought two E88 EFI MR30 skyline heads. Will build a completely new head with the DP cam. Will install bigger intake valves 44 mm or 45mm, get it ported and aim for CR 11.0 -11.5 Hope to see a good increase in power.

This will probably be a winter project so it will take some time before I can test it and compare.

Yes that’s what I think to, really looking forward to get it on the dyno and see the difference.

If someone thinks it’s a magical grind, I can’t answer that? Msa sells Schneider cams and advertising them as stage 1, 2, 3 etc, that what people referring to, right or wrong I don’t know? But it’s probobly as wrong as the euro bumper (no rubber) and euro front indicators (white) companies/people selling. They were never a Euro item but still advertised as such.

Don’t know, cam is being made at the moment and more specs will be given when it’s done. Have heard very good reviews about this cam so i took a chance even if the specs aren’t given before you buy it (just the lift). And the seller Steve Bonk is a very good helpful guy to so im sure the cam will be great for my needs.

Well, new (more aggressive) cam has been ordered and i will stick with the head i have and get it ported/worked on during the winter.

Both engines are tuned quite good. What I meant was that I thought my engine would be much slower because the 260 E88 head I have, based on what I’ve been reading about that head.

Engine only has 3000km since it was built so i won’t tear it apart and do it again ; ) Would be fun to test that combo. Dony get me wrong, the engine is great and really goes well. But i like to know why people call some heads bad and some the best heads when there’s no good documentary? At least I can’t find any. When my engine was built the builder built another L28 engine at the same time. It was a F54/N42 combo with flattops, same cam, same carbs, a Mallory ignition (I have a zx ignition). He has a canon intake, I have a Harada shokai. My cars feels faster, both me and him feels this way. Guess it comes down to the intake?

My e88 isent ported. I run 17-18 degrees at idle and 35-36 at total now. 95 or 98 octane at the pumps here. I would like to test a different cam but would not like to put it in this head if I can get a “much” better result together with another head.

I will make the CR 10ish with the P90 If i go that way.

Input on power gains by swapping head.
Hi Im in need of some feedback regarding cylinder heads. I have a L28 engine bored 1mm with flattops, triple 45s, Schneider stage 3 cam, header etc... CR is around 10. The car puts down 180-185 hp to the wheels (tested on two different dynos). It performs and drives really well and was built with help by a friend of mine 2-3 years ago. The thing is I have the 260z E88 head, many times called a boat anchor on my engine. Head is shaved a lot so the chambers are now 44cc (messured 48cc from the beginning) and it has the same valves and seats as N42 head. What do you guys think, would i gain enough power for it to be worth the money and hassle (I live in Sweden and we have no parts here) by let’s say using a P90 head instead? Those of you who have swapped head on your engine what’s your experience? //Andreas
