U ARE SCREWED DUDE.

256 is pushing it. any more and u WILL WITHOUT A DOUBT, need springs and solid conversion.

also, common 264 or 260 d cams have 10.25mm lift.

i sure hope that u have some decent injectors and a ecu to smooth out the rough edges.

but its all worth it for that idle :down::rofl::D

^^of course those are procams....not poncams.

I have the Tomei Poncams in my car.256 are direct drop in as stated by Tomei.

Jeff you want to get a set of drop ins.

really any cam upgrade thats going to be reved hard needs springs and retainers but for what you want a set of drop ins will be fine.

There is plenty of options all of which will suit your application. Just see what you can get for the money and go with it.

If you want it lumpy like my car its going to cost alot more than the normal drop in option.

The cams alone become more expensive

Budget for springs and retainers. Solid lifter conversion, labour to check piston to valve clearance and set-up the rest of the head to suit.

My head cost as much to build up as the bottom end did.

Joeys car has the drop in tomei's.

They are not your only option.

HKS, JUN, TODA, Tomei all offer drop in cams for the RB25. Tomei's are the most widely used though.

If you want it to be the best it can then your going to need the larger cams with the springs etc but if being budget concious then drop ins will need to sufice.

If you want big drop in's then look for some second hand apexi's on japan yahoo. They made up to 280 duration but are no longer available new.

If you want easy new biggest currently available drop ins then go for hks. 256 8.8mm inlet, 264 9.0mm exhaust. I run these myself with stock lifters and springs and retain vct. As long as you keep the boost under 20psi you won't have an issue.

If you don't mind losing the vct then go hks 264/264 with adjustable gears.

You won't get any higher lift without head work and solid conversion.

Now a question, when is it surging? You have a pair of N1's bolted to the side of your 25 right?

jeff the surging will pretty much be elliminated once its tunned properly this week!

You honestly have no idea what the engine is like till its been tunned and finished. GTss' are not a turbo that causes surging like you have, the tune thats running your engine is basicly the same one that was running it prior to the engine rebuild and the turbo conversion.

Dont buy cams till its done and then decided if your not happy with the surging issue.

Honestly if your going to turn it into a track car the money your going to spend on cams etc would be much better spent towards better suspension/half cage/ brakes etc etc.

The cruising surge you have is not going to effect the car on the track and it wont be nearly as bad as what it is now.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
