I have read a few times and seen evidence that the Poncams dont upset the idle...but i hate how smooth the RB is at idle...its no 427 or even old school cam'd 240Z.

So of the other cams, Greddy, HKS does anyone have any experience with cams around the 260 duration with 8.5-8.8mm lift?

As well as the gain in mid-top power i want a bit of fart and lump at idle :D

Because RBs sound like my vacuum cleaner at idle...the tacho needs to bounce around at idle :D

Running a PFc so no rotational idle for me, if i ahd an Autonic :)

And no way i want to run a cam anywhere near as big as 272 unless someone can show me a reliable before / after comparison on a similar engine.

You make me laugh :D

The only time i've heard an angry RB is when there are some large cams being used like in Daves car... and the old Jet33... Jacks car has a very slight difference but not major

They werent 260/8.5 though :)

It's alot easier if you go straight to a peripheral port, or a large bridge port. Running a stocker isn't going to cut it, especially with a restrictive exhaust.

Lucky Brett went straight for the extendedly bridged peripheral port, and can now hang his nuts out with the Pac crew. Rockin!

I was looking at doing a backyard J-Port, but was worried that would hurt fuel economy, nad heave heard Jports dont lend themselves to forced induction.

Nah bro, you've just got to get a large angle grinder - or better yet a dropsaw. That's the problem, you're acting too pedantic and being far too meticulous with your work. Hack harder and you'll go faster. I bet it takes you 3 weeks to do a half meter section of intake pipe?

For budget's sake you could have a toggle switch that turns off a couple of coil packs mounted in the cabin.

3 weeks? I thought it took longer then that. :worship:

And i want to hear more about this budget thing...does turning off coil packs help you make more power....you aint my daddy. Are you?

Farks sake...camshaft help please. Your car idled pretty cool. What size were those cams?

Who cars man just grind the biggest eyelet you can, go all the way into the water jacket you dont need that coolant stuff. Anyway who cares as long as it sounds tough and doesnt idle below 2500rpm.

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
