Hey guys,

Just about finished building my second rb30det. My current setup I am using a rb25de head, I have a 26 head I am taking the valve springs out of today to swap into the 25 head so it doesnt valve float.

Just wanted to know would it be worth swapping the rb26 cams in as well?, or just retain the stock rb25 cams with the 26 springs?

What are peoples opions, its running aftermarket management obviously.

Cheers.

The rb26 cams are solid, their ramp rates are too aggressive for hydraulic lifters.

So no. :(

When using the stock plenum cams only gain a little mid range and spool the turbo a touch more. It doesn't extend the peak power rpm and they don't hold power up better. An after market plenum is what does this is it appears the stock plenum on the 3ltr restricts top rpm peak power and how well power holds after peak power is made.

I would have dropped the rb26 head on the sucker.. its not too late yet. :P

While your there, is it possible to measure the stock r32 rb25 valve spring installed height on both the inlet and exhaust?

k cool I wont bother then.

yeah I can measure them for you man. Its a r33 vct 25de head but not a 32. Yeah I would have used the 26 head but I am using it for something else anyway.

Cheers.

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
