STi vs WRX vs Turbo v1-4 CAM SPECS?
I've done a search on this and can't find anything so it's time to get technical. I'm looking around at various v1-4 head options to go with my block once it's built, so seeing as it's virtually impossible to tell at a glance what version the heads are, I need some proper specs. This is what I know so far about heads, please correct me if I'm wrong and add any extra that you might know:
Cheers! |
not all you have said is correct
some sti and sti ra had solid lifters in v1 and 2 but ti an extent it seems random with some having 7000rpm limit and other 7500 and therefore better heads and cams the uk and wrx v3 and 4 solid lifters are over bucket shimmed and the sti v3 and 4 under bucket. under being better as once assembled the shim can't / shouldn't fall out as easily some pics here of sti Inlet manifold :: Fotopic.Net the lift and duration is not really secret just no one really knows.. I measured what was I believe v4 uk cams and v3 sti some pics hear but I only crudely measured lift as it was all I had access to at the time Cams :: Fotopic.Net the best to fit a v1 to 4 car are said to be sti3 heads due to valves, shims and cam duration and lift and can be revved to 8k.

Helpful as always Simon, nice one. Well if I ever get an STi 3 or 4 head I'll measure it up too. It should be fairly straightforward to work out valve lift from base circle minus lobe height. Any identifying marks on the sodium filled exhaust valves off of STis?

I have a 2 sets of sti3 heads if I ever get time I can measure one set, the other set is in use. :)
the set I am not using at the moment don't have standard valves in.. typically the set I am using do have standard valves, sorry not stripping it to check ;) Simon |
Well I think I may have got hold of STi 3's but all I know at the moment from the photos is that they are definitely v3 or 4 and have a plain top to the tappet, meaning that they must have underbucket shims - if I interpret your words of wisdom correctly, v3 or 4 non-STi heads would have overbucket shims, which would be visible straight away. We'll see when they arrive I guess. Do you have a link to a PDF manual with the STi 3 or 4 head specs? I can get one for a v1-2 WRX, and a V7 WRX and STi, but nothing in between.

no links sorry.. there used to be v3 manuals about but don't think it gave much head info

STi Version 3 + 4 Valves are stamped:
IH on the Inlets EH on the exhausts. Head Codes are LH-B and RH-B ( same casting as UK spec ) Valve Springs are colour coded White and approx.56mm in height. Mick |
Excellent, thanks. What are the standard WRX/Turbo valves (v3-4) stamped with, just out of interest?
