Does anyone know the lift and duration of the DE cams? I'm currently looking at upgrading my cams but was thinking of going RB26 cams.

The RB20DE has ???deg - ???mm lift intake & ???deg - ???mm lift exhaust

The RB20DET has 240deg - 7.8mm lift intake & 240deg - 7.8mm lift exhaust

The RB26DETT has 240deg - 8.5mm lift intake & 236deg - 8.2mm lift exhaust

RB20DET

Ex - 240 duration, 7.8 lift, opens 60 BBDC, closes TDC, LCA 120

In - 240 duration, 7.8 lift, opens 5 BTDC, closes 55 ABDC, LCA 115

overlap = 5, LSA = 117.5

RB20DE

Ex - 240 duration, 7.8 lift, opens 57 BBDC, closes 3ATDC, LCA 117

In - 232 duration, 7.3 lift, opens 5 BTDC, closes 47 ABDC, LCA 111

overlap = 8, LSA = 114

Now, if anyone understands all that ...

It would appear the best might be to just use the DE Ex cam.

bit off topic, but blind elk, where did u get those specs from?

ive been looking for a good source for skyline cam specs and the best ive found is the tomei chart, ur specs are far more detailed

They are based on the Tomei specs. Just need to understand what each bit means then you can calculate the other bits.

(R32) RB25DE

Ex - 232 duration, 7.3 lift, opens 54 BBDC, closes 2 BTDC, LCA 118

In - 240 duration, 7.8 lift, opens 9 BTDC, closes 51 ABDC, LCA 111

overlap = 7, LSA = 114.5

  • 5 months later...

from the info that i have gathered from fellow mechanics, the diff btwn the silver top DET n DE are the difference in lift.

the DE ones lift higher than the DET ones.

The red top cams have slightly more duration than the silver top one's.

anybody can confirm this??

duration = how long it keeps the valve open for

lift = how much it opens the valve

opens 5 BTDC= 5 degrees before top dead center

closes 55 ABDC = closes 55 degrees after bottom dead center

LCA = lobe center angle?

overlap = how many degrees both intake and exhuast valves will be open at the same time

LSA = lobe seperation angle

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
