cruiseliner u mean on ur rb27 >_<

what has the 272 11.35 lift cams done to the powercurve?

i dont know compared to other cams as ive never tried any others as yet, but heres a dyno graph on 18psi if that can shed some light ;)

oh and yes its a 2.7 but that shouldnt make a big difference i dont reckon, and that is with a 8500rpm revlimit

Edited by CruiseLiner
anyone else with some input?

I'm now running 272 "STEP2" cams (around the 11mm lift) on both inlet and exhaust.

The originally I was running a 264IN, 272EX, however changing to 272 on both I gained both top end and midrange. See the following graph

Dyno Graph

Unfortunately it's shown in speed rather than engine RPM, however you get the idea.

Oh yes - the idle is really "tough" now :happy:

What turbo are you running? t04z?

and what was your redline?

What turbo are you running? t04z?

and what was your redline?

I'm running low mount GT-RS terbs on an HKS 2.8L kit.

Redline for that particular run was just over 8K, but I've had the motor spinning to well over 9k and it still felt like the power curve was flat.

sydneykid can answer this better, as i posed a very simular question to him a while back..

but in short, for every bigger cam profile yo go, expect the useable rev range to move higher, 256's will come in at say 4k rpm, 264's at 5k rpm and 272's at 6...

just means where thye become effective moves a lot higher..

i perosnally went for 264's on his recomendation, and with positive pressure being created by 2800 rpm on a rb26 with a gt3040R, with stock timing and no cam gear tinkering, it seems like advice well said..

252/264 for low end and mid range, 272 if you wanna go drag racing or want big top end

that's all well and good in theory..but look at gav's dyno results, he gaind power everywhere. surely they totally contradict wat SK recommended you?

gav, dont spose u mind dropping in some 264's for comparison sake? :D

i think i read somewhere that every 10 Degrees above standard moves peak power 500rpm higher but i dunno if this is true, But if the cams become effective at 6000rpm that leaves 1000rpm till orange line 1500 till red.. not really much fun..

i was hoping they would really kick around 5000 and hold to well past redline..

Gavs graph has sure kicked a few stones, i mean he got more midrange and earlier moving from a 264 to a 272 inlet cam!

Suppose ill have to wait and see as the heads finished..

I suspect that my results are more a case of increase exhaust flow was required to spool up the larger GT-RS terbs. In otherwords, matching the cams to the terbs.

I'm sure there was also more experimentation done with cam timing at the same time, so it may not be simply a case of achieving the improvements with simply going to a longer duration camshaft on the exhaust.

gav, in ur opinion, do you feel the GT-RS's will make 700-750hp?

I can only speak from my personal experience. I'm certain on my 2.8L motor 600 rwhp would be possible maybe up to 620 with all the supporting mods and optimising cam timing for top end power rather than for mid range as in my present case.

I'm sticking around the 550 rwhp mark, however, as the car is now "balanced" to accomodate this level of power (i.e. 680cc injectors, single high volume fuel pump, sprung centre clutch etc). To go beyond where I am will really detract from making this an enjoyable drive on the street (and cost a swag more dollars and tuning time).

Sorry - the above is a long winded way of nme saying that I believe that GT-RS won't get you into the 700-750rwhp range IMO.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
