im not talking about normal cam timing i mean the adjustment behind the inlet gear.

Cheers

Someone made a custom pulley about 12 months back that allowed them to adjust it from the front. I can't remember who it was now. I think the results were a bit disappointing and adjusting the exhaust side had more effect. Can't remember if it was an r33 or r34 engine though.

yea that was bass junky

but how does any one know where the true zero point of reference is?

i have heard several people say theres is in the middle, yet i have heard others say it was to one side.

so where is it supposed to be?

sure dialing in your cams can be a little fiddly and time consuming to get it right but im sure its worth it in the long run.

We dial the VVT gear on all our engines but you need the specs of the cams then degree wheel and dial gauge.I have the specs at work but they are on the net so do a search.

would you be able to do a short write up and explain how do dial them in properly.

im running poncams on a S1 rb25det head

cheers heaps

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
