Rb30det Cams Question

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.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
