hey Joel.....did you have to retard the exh gear to compensate and bring the power curve back to the left?

I'm abit confused, cause even though 9mm is not huge lift, when I went to school, bigger overlaps always caused a shift in rpm in a northerly direction.......maybe it's more to do with your tune than the cams cause I always thought that better response is not generally a side effect of bigger overlaps :blink:

:laughing-smiley-014: Back and to the left........

ahh ok.......sounds like an Ivan Tighe grind.

I though you may have been running a Poncam, HKS or similar cause they all run bigger overlaps than stockies

Tighe regrind it was.

I stumbled upon a list of HKS, Jun and LCA's but be buggered if I can find it.

I do remember the Rb20det's definitely had the same 110 and 115 LCA's when running in the 264 duration range.

Rb25's.. 115/115.

So would u recommend me get cams if I'm getting camgears, turbos, and injectors (and their support mods, fuel pump, water pump, afm, gaskets)... and if so, what type? I know nada about engine physics

-D

Cams always help make the power easier..

Don't overcam it. I was a little nervous 265's were a little too big but Shaun has had good results with that type of duration on fairly stock rb30det's previously so I went with his advice.

yeah we used to deal with Tighe Eng many years ago when I was still at Adelaide Eng, so I've considered going with one of his grinds as opposed to alot of the Jap stuff out there.

Good thing about them is that they don't just grind a second hand cam then end up with undersize lobes that have gone through the hardening process but instead they either start with a new billett or build up the lobes first. I find that alot of the jap grinds aren't really considering the average Joe that needs to drive to work through peak hour.

Sometimes I wish I still had access to our cam grinder and all the various masters that we had cupboards full of.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
