hello all i had my timing belt replaced with a gates racing belt a couple of days ago and an adjustable exhaust cam put on it, i know i should have replaced bothe gears but i didnt, i also ordered a clear cover for the set up that arived today. i just went to put it on wen i descoverd that the intake gear has a large cylinder pertruding from it, which is preventing me from puttin the clear cover on. i have seen this clear cover on some rb25s before with standard gears on it. is there any way i can put this cover on without modifying the cover. please let me know

hi, i am doing the exact same thing atm, and had to take the thing off at a mechanics. be careful if u do it at home, it will screw with the timing.

good luck :P

that cylinder as you call it is your Variable Valve Timing Actuator. Didn't the clear cover come with the raised bit to accomadate it? from what i understand some of the 33s didn't have VVT (i think) so maybe you got a cover for that type, without the raised section. another thing is that from what i've heard its hard (or impossible?) to run an adjustable camgear on the intake side of a VVT engine without heavy modification.

those clear cam gear covers are for GTRs... if you want one for a GTST you might have to wait for PSI parts to finish theirs...

don't put an adjustable cam gear on there....i think you will end up with oil intended for the VCT pissing out??

      Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
