thinking about putting a set of adjustable cam gears on my r34 rb25det neo, just wondering if anyone has some tips they can share or run into any problems installing them? what to do about the variable cam timing on itake and exhaust? if anyone has done this with a neo engine pics would be great if you could post them up.

thanks.

R33 & R34's have variable intake timing only and yes you can get decent gains by adding an adjustable cam gear on the exhaust side.

Best time to do it is when you need to change cambelt and associated tensioners and do it all at once.

A decent mod for $200.

No point doing it for looks though as it will be behind the cover.

i was actually looking at putting the adjustable cam gears and gates timing belt on and modifing the greddy rb26 clear timing case to suit the rb25. but if the intake cam gear still has to have that ugly alloy cylinder on the end of it, it may be pointless doing the mods as i was only really interested in doing it for the looks.

Yes it will look good mate. I have heard mixed results in regards to performance by ajusting the exhaust cam gear but could not get a straight answer on this. Has anyone here completed this mod with noticable results?

but what about the ugly cylinder on the end of the intake side cam gear????

yes, but then i replied before. when u do the timing belt it is a no brainer on an R33. you should pick up around 5-15kw most of the way thru the rev range. roughly 4 degrees give or take depending on what you get on the dyno.

R34 neo engines seems to be no gain.

Walkoau, Pm'd SK from Stagea page with fitting adj. cam gear to NEO. VVT on inlet, can fit a.c.g. to ex. I have an R33 gear to put on my Stagea. SK has run his at -4deg so far. Great post in Stagea page showing how to fit (in DIY).

thanks for the info, so no need to fit a a.c.g to inlet side cam because of vvt, only worth doing on the exhaust.

I hope your correct I am up for my 100k service shortly. I will have one fitted and dyno tuned with my SAFC2 and post a back to back comparison. The charts I saw were putting out low power to start with then I saw an extra 15kw or so like you said. Im making 195rwkw already so hopefully this mod will push me over 200rwkw.

cheers

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
