Hi all

Im tryin to case down some after market cams for my NA rb25de, all ive found is Turbo cams.

Ive rang acouple of people and they have told me they cant get a billit cam for a NA and the only way they could do it is take my cams out and weld them then regrind them and that was goin to cost $1600bucks.

Id rather spend the same and get some billets, Anyone put bigger cams in there Rb25de???

Any one no where i can get some???

Or any companys that make em???

I dont mind if i have to get them from Japan aslong as its not goin to cost some bullsh!t price like 3gs or somthing......

anyway let me no people

thanks heaps

turbo cams usually dont work that well in a n/a cause like you said the exhaust is open a little longer (if i remeber rightly), but also they are suited to be most efficient in the high revs where the turbo is working its stuff, whereas n/a cams dont have so much exhaust opening (ie not as long) and also try and extract more power and turque low down in the revs

something like that anyway

SURE CAM can regrind stock cams , they are fairly mild because stock cams cant be ground much .

He does an inlet with 255 degrees duration and 8.2 mm lift

exhaust 258 " " " " 8.2 " "

stock cams are 240 degrees duration with 7. 8 mm lift

$ 170 per cam to regrind

your rb25de will be VVT.. you can still use rb20det cams.. but then you will lose your VVT...

i will be looking at cams at some stage hopfully... somthing to open a little bit more power up top.. otherwise ill just port and polish..

kelford cams in NZ does regrinds as well..

What is all this nonsense about turbo cams not working in an n/a ????

All the cam does is open and close the valves. You decide what cam duration and lift you want to run in your engine and buy an appropriate cam or cams to suit. There must be HUNDREDS of different cam grinds available.

Sure, you need to set it up properly with variable cam pullies, but you have to do that anyway turbo or non turbo.

but if you look at the cam profiles for cams for a turbo against a n/a engine of the same family (ie rb25de against a rb25det) the cams for the turbo and n/a are different

the exhaust cam for a turbo is designed to extract as much from the turbo as possible and the inlet to let it suck as much as possible, whereas n/a cams is a balance of both having the exhaust breath, but not to much so as too loose to much backpressure, and the inlet not being to restrictive, but not losing too much in the lower rev range

so a turbo cam in a n/a will not get you much power, if anything, as it is designed for a less restrictive setup

Usherly,

Your dribbling... :(

N/A Power,

Grab a set of turbo cams and an adj. cam gear and set them up appropriately. the only real difference between turbo and n/a cams is that turbo's don't like overlap, N/A's love overlap.

Speak to your tuner for a recommedation on what cams you should drop in it. With a guess he may recommend something like a 260degree inlet and 256degree exh.

Or go the regrind..

ok just had a look if my car has that solenoid for the vvt, and it dose.

If i put a set of Turbo cams in for a Rb25 will i b able to keep my vvt??

this is not as easy as it was when i put a cam in my Rb30e.... it was just ring up..... send...... and bolt in....

owell

damn - so i am dribbling

but wouldnt the turbo cams be slightly different with more exhaust lift and slightly longer duration than a n/a cam (i realise that the duration can be dialled out to an extent with adj cam gears)

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
