I'm soon about to do the rb30 conversion with a rb30e bottom and r32 rb30de head.

The goal is 700hp+ on the crank and my question what camshafts I should use for this. I searched the Tomei website etc and I found nothing that fits the r32 rb25de head?

Is it possible to make gtr cams work in this head, I do want to convert to solid lifters so that shouln't be a problem.

Anyone that can help me sort out what to use? =)

mate go to the rb30 dohc thread ask there. BUT READ THROUGH THE THREAD FIRST.

this question has been asked alot of times.

DO A SEARCH

this actually isn't that related to the rb30 conversion. what I'm asking what cams I should use in a rb25de head if I'm aming for 700hp+.

I have downloaded that thread and search through every one of the posts, and there is nothing there that helps me. :dry:

and what question has been asked a lot of times, if I can fit rb26dett cams into a rb25 head? I can't find anything when I search for that either. :P

If you are aimimg for that sort of power I would go the RB26 head right off the bat.

Solid Lifters, best stock cams, more turbo options due to manifold availability, Best plenum,

It will cost you $1000 more to buy the head but in the long run it will be cheaper

hey dude, when we built my 30/25 and used an aspirated head we used the aspirated cams and made 465bhp on 27psi but with a massive drop off top end! So we got hold of a set of 26 cams and had them ground by sure cams so as we could still use hydraulic lifters and also used adjustable cam gears and made 602bhp pump fuel with 29psi. all with standard inlet, throttle body..... (basiclly a completely standard head with cams and camgears)!!

pm me if u want any info...

No idea to be honest.

You can grab solid conversion kits from nengun and the likes.. They aren't that expensive really.

thanks for all good answers cubes!

nengun, do they have a website? =)

      HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
