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

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
