UK, and I suppose JDM, VIII MR factory cams are slightly more radical than standard VIII cams.

 

yes exactly.

 

Update*

Installed the JUN 264 cams after cleaning and bleeding the HLAs which were hard as a rock. The cams are currently set as 0 intake / 0 exhaust .

The idle was loopy but the response of the car above 2000 rpm changed radically, the response was amazing. I could literally feel the air rushing through.. Spool , mid range and top end was improved significantly over the stock cams.

Using stock springs and retainers car is at 1 bar boost. Changed some values in the fuel and timing map but the idle is jittery even after pushing the idle upto 1200 rpm. As soon as i turn on the A/C the idle becomes much more stable but without a/c its loopy.

I tried adding fuel at the idle rpm and load cells but the ecu still hunts for 14.7 and hovers around 14.7 to 16. There is a table named OPEN LOOP TPS vs RPM which helps in idle stability but sadly i cant any such table in my rom. the rom is 93660005.

Need your help.
Thanks

did you get your car to idle good? what kind of vacuum did you have at idle? and at what rpm? as I remember them they looped pretty good even on a 2.3 engine

 

Basically, i made a mistake, i didnt install adjustable cam gears with them, so i couldnt do much to adjust the overlap. If you drop them straight in, the idle is very loopy [ 280 like ] . I wasnt running a tephra rom, so didnt had the luxury of adjusting alot of parameters.

i dont exactly remember the vacuum i had but it wasnt stable at all. I tried to raise the idle to 1000, 1100 but the difference wasnt so obvious.
