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

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
