Any luck on this Cubes?

Do you have a link to Tighe cams also? Am trying to sort some out at the moment. 272 degree with 9.5 lift can apparently be done on a regrind, whilst Kelfords who build some impressive cams suggest welding to a camshaft isnt at all good.

yeah they turned out good.

We haven't played with the cam gears as it wasn't able to hold more than 17psi up top.

The same thing occurred before the cams so I'm putting it down to either the FMIC with its 2" piping and or a weak actuator that is quite lazy. Most likely the later.

Mine haven't been built up as they were GTR sticks. The Rb25 sticks apparently do have to be built up.

It went on to make.

3k - forget? :O

3.5k - 200rwkw

4k - 256rwkw

5k - 288rwkw

6k - 302rwkw

7k - 290rwkw

Its awesome to drive. Third gear at 60km/h slightly flick the brake and its up making 19psi and then storms off quite a strange feeling with the motor not reving but your being sunk in to the seat hard.

I was a little off with my overlap calcs. Its actually running around 39degree's overlap so not all that good for top end 'apparently'.

I'll get it on the dyno once I fit an 18psi actuator and new fmic with 2.5" piping and play with the cam gears to shift peak power ~500rpm higher and then stretch its legs slightly to ~7300rpm.

Fuel economy has slightly improved; we spent a little more time on the accelerator injection time and tweaked the afr's.

Sounds really good mate.

GTR cams people here still want 300+ for so i think a set of billets from Greenline etc may eventually work out cheaper by the time they get the regrind treatment.

My thing should be going in the next 3 or so weeks so will consider a new cam come full tune time.

Couldnt find an rbcam on tighe cams website.

Have you heard anything re weld on tips being dodgy at all?

Will look forward to seeing the results. Lith mentioned to me a while back you were having a few issues since the cam install. Dont think that 2" piping could help, not the actuator.

Bugger.. I have seen a few sets go for 60-100. I picked mine up for 60.

Ebay is another place to look.

Tighe haven't updated their website for a bit by the looks so chances are it won't be there.

Not sure exactly what the problem is.. FMIC is first so I'll know soon enough :(

If not done right building up the cam can be dodgy. Not sure.. If you can't grab a reasonably priced set of gtr cams then by all means grab a set of cams from nengun. :)

$300 for a pair of stock cams is dreaming. What are they useful for lol.

Hi Guys,

just a quick question.

i have a R32 rb25de head with no cams and was thinking of getting the following:

2202-RN170, IN (256deg) (Lift 8.8) (valve timing 110)

2202-RN175, EX (264deg) (Lift 9.0) (valve timing 115)

what are your ideas on how these will go on a RB30/25 build

hey guys

instead of starting another cam choice thread what are you opinions of different sized inlet and exhaust cams.

looking at the HKS step 2 cams. will only be reving to 7k but will have an 8k limiter for power runs and drags.

however car will be more of a daily, just want that phat idol...

was first going to go with the 272 10.2 inlet and a 280 10.20 but am thinking the 280 will be bring power on too late. or should i stick with both at 272 10.2??

turbo will be a gt35r at 1.5bar undecided rear housing.

obviusly springs will be upgraded to suit but will the head need modifing to drop these bad boys in.

I believe there is an 806C grind. Not sure on its specifics but thats where it ends.

More than a 265 duration and 9mm lift and you need valve springs, you'll need to machine the buckets.

Rip the head off spend $300 on a set of valve springs, machine the buckets and drop in a set of 10.5mm lift cams. :(

----

I probably wouldn't bother regrinding a set of pon cams as you can still fetch good $$ for them s/h and then put a few hundred towards a new set imported from nengun or the likes.

A set of cams from Nengun are worth 800 odd delivered depending on brand.

Where can i get a set of valve springs for $300?

Oh and by the way, I'm using some Gibson Motorsport cams( same as the Winfield GTR). Just had them cam doctored.

At advertised duration

Inlet 256 @ 9.5mm lift

Exhaust 278 @ 9.75 mm lift

...don't tell to many people :(

Interesting aswel they have such a large difference between duration for in and ex

Are you in Sydney? I would very much appreciate the chance to see how it goes with your turbo setup. Its the same as mine expect for cams, ive got 270 10.25 in and out :D

any opinions out there. is 280 to big for my rev limit

Interesting you guys dont go for cosworth springs, good for 12mm lift and 400USD a set so compared to 12mm capable springs from japan they're about a third of the price

the guy i get to do my cylinderhead work doesnt like the jun (cosworth) springs as they dont have much tension. his pick are some dual psi springs, second to them the supertech springs

Awesome.. Allways been curious what cam specs they ran.

QLD Performance Springs :cool:http://www.performancesprings.com.au/

how do these springs compare to the likes of japanese brands, i.e. tomei?

...Mr 'N1GTR' - can u send the link of these cosworth springs u mentioned in this thread?

the psi springs (i think they are the same as the performancesprings) are rated as the bees knees in the top end springs (dual coil) by my head guy, jhh performance. its the quality of the wire used makes them good as they can happily sustain all the requirements of a high revving high load valvetrain. the daul springs arent cheap though and not really needed unless ur going to competatively race it, id look at some supertech or ferrea springs or the cheaper single coil psi spring

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
