hey guys, i done a search on this but alot of gibberish, basically i wanted to get some fresh oppinions on MY setup not gtr engines.. im after your oppinion on cams for my rb25, its a build motor and now im on the lookout for the best cam for my car but i still want the vvt to work properly so no big thumperss... basically its come down to the choice between hks step one's--256in 8.8mm/264out 9.0mm or tomei poncams---256in/out 8.5mm ... not sure about mismatching in and out so let your oppinions take place, i have a built motor with head work and a hks adj cam gear in place. my turbo setup is 35/40 turbo on hi mount manifold so power target is round 340kw at wheels... What you's recommend?

Also im tossing up between profec b ebc, avcr and blitz id3. will be running upto 25psi through it if necassary.. price isnt a factor, i just want the better suited one for me...thanks

AVCR isnt a pich of shit on the ID3, the dual solenoid boost controller are well regarded as the best on the market fullstop (the plain physics behind its operation alone make it superior).

as for cams i have only used poncams in SR's and i can get better results from HKS... on a rb i believe it is the other way round so i cant comment.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
