arent the n/a cams 'harsher' than turbo cams?

im not 100% but i was told n/a cams onto a turbo head would be more beneficial. not the other way around.

someone please correct me if im wrong.

or are you just trying to figure out which ones will fit?

Typically when people say N/a cams are more agressive it means they run more overlap/lump/lope etc.

Turbo's due to their high back pressure benifit at high rpm by running cams with little overlap.

The r33's vct system. On idle there is next to no overlap, just off idle vct enables and adjusts the inlet cam so there's some healthy overlap. Overlap helps mid range and spools the turbo quicker. As high rpm approaches where exhaust manifold/scroll pressurs begins to rise the vct again disables to reduce overlap.

From memory rb20det cams are 240duration 7.8mm lift on both the inlet and exh and have been setup with next to no overlap.

The R32 rb25de runs a 240duration 7.8mm lift on the inlet and a 232 7.3mm lift on the exhaust. The rb25de cams run more overlap; exactly what I forget. :dry:

Nice..

254duration in/exh

8.5mm in/exh

Should also be around 25degree's overlap which is quite a bit. Help that big 1.06 spool. :laugh:

When are you planning on getting them fitted?

when i do my valve springs, hopefully not too much longer, just got to get andrew to post down his tools he has to change valve springs!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
