ok well this has me thinking now.

will be sending the car of to get the timing belt and water pump done

would it be advisable to get adjustable cam gears on at the same time???

its for a stock S2 r33 with cat back exhaust and pod but later on im planning finishing of the exhaust with dump pipe and high flow cat and FMIC and power FC but will still be running stock turbo and most likely stock boost or at most 9-10psi max

but for now could i still install the adjustable cam gears with the current mods??

also from what iv read will only need one the exhaust side correct?

thanks

Ash

if you can get it on a dyno to see where your gains are then it would be worth it. from what i've herd the 33's on the majority benifit from having one installed and adjusted. but definantly need to see the curves to see where the right spot is.

Its a line-ball call i reckon.

Some people get gains, some people dont.

The gains, generally arent "massive" on the RB25, and i dont believe its the tuners as some people who tried (and didnt make more power) attended some well known workshops :thumbsup:

So yeah, your damned if you do... damned if you dont. But personally i wouldnt based on the 50/50 ive seen here over the years

RB26 would be a different story though :woot:

I read mixed results before I did mine.

This was the result before and afte, with a tune..with all the supporting mods.

THe result was better than expected.

old topic bumped up!

but what are the gains on adjustable cam gears on a RB20DET 32?

looking to do the same thing. Get the timing belt down as im approaching the 150, 000km mark and the 'Mechanic' advised it needs to be done.

so have a few kits i am looking at (with or without the adjustable cams) not sure which way to go?

any help would be appreciated heaps :worship:

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
