Pretty pissed off. After putting it off as i had other things to spend my money on, i finally fronted the cash for HKS 264/8.8mm cams. Got a price on them, and placed order.

Only to hear that HKS have now scrapped this model cam, and now comes in 9.0mm lift See Here

Problem is it doesnt say if they are Step 1 or 2 cams. If i run these do i need valve springs? I see that Jun now have cams, but the ones compatible with std springs appear to be the same as Tomei Poncams.

So are there any HKS groupies out there that know the full story on the new 9.0mm cams. Are they bolt in goodness for an RB20, or should i just grab the Tomei cams.

why not go with tomei cams, they offer 260/8.9mm intake and exhaust cams which i run with no problem in my rb20.

beides hks cams lope like crazy and tomei cams idle with nearly stock exh note.

I cant see the cam you describe

Oh, so its bolt in with no miods to head or springs?

Waiting to hear back from a guy that has Apexi cams...but then will decide.

Mind you im about 12 hours away from going on a rampage and knifing every prick that has used me, torching the car...then packing my bags and leaving the country to tend to sheep in the middle of Siberia..or something. Nothing is going right :blush:

  • 2 months later...

I just got a mystery pack of HKS Cams... I was told they came out of a RB25 but I dunno if it were a S1 or S2. But I cannot identify them for the life of me.

One cam says HKS RB N2 264E on it - Although I thought E stood for Exhaust but it doesnt have the CAS lobe in it. My other Cam says HKS 20 25 264A on it - and it has the CAS lobe in it.

So I can figure out the duration I have no other means of identifying which model they are. By process of elimination - here is what HKS specify for RB20 and RB 25 in 264. And I think looking at the chart below that the Exhaust Cam is the only one that changed for the RB25 S2, but my cam says 20 25 so It should be safe to say its 2202-RN175

RB20

IN 264 9.0mm Lift 110 degree Part No 2202-RN174

EX 264 9.0mm Lift 115 degree Part No 2202-RN175

RB25 S1

IN - No 264 listed?

EX 264 9.0mm Lift 115 degree Part No 2202-RN175 (Same as RB20).

RB25 S2

IN - No 264 listed?

EX 264 9.0mm Lift 115 degree Part No 2202-RN176

So it looks like I should be right assuming 9.0mm lift on my cams - but how can I be sure? Also, can anyone please point out what things I should do to my valvetrain when installing them?

Thanks,

Jai

Measure the lift on the cams with a set of digital verniers, measure across the lobe

(base circle) then from the top of the lobe to the other sied of the lobe (hope this makes some sense) the difference in the measurement is the lift

ROY i ran HKS 264 with 9mm lift in my old rb20 with std. springs, no valve bouncing on the dyno@! had solid lifters tho. Ran with no problems, stupidly lumpy idle tho, and loud too, not recommended for when your pulled over in a RBT or if u got elderly neighbours with no prozac

I havent. Spoke to the person that tuned my car and he said that only being a 2L with a 400hp odd turbo. It will be easy to over cam the motor and lose even more low to mid.

So trusting him i have given up the idea of putting cams in my RB20. The rebuild will get cams, but for the time being the std RB20 will be staying a std RB20.

I would love to have the money to pay him to dyno the car. Then install the cams, retune the ECU and dial in the cam gears and see the power difference. But, thats a lot of cost for an extra 10 or so kws so...or not

Hi Roy

these are the cams I was running hks 264 9.0mm lift with standard valve springs and no mods to heads .Though with the rebuild im installing rb26det valve springs

Cheers Peter

P.S lift was stamped on the bottom of cam nearest firewall

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
