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!

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
