id say anyone that does cams could do this (there are heaps of places that come to my mind)

it would be more about knowing what you want specs you want them done too id imagine.

Once you provide that to whomever, places should easily then produce what you want

yeah i agree with you only thing on here im not sure about is what else needs doing im looking to make big power and using a rb30 bottom end my turbo is ratted at 1100 hp so just trying to get us much into as i can

That probably means you've got the wrong turbo.

There's no sense asking an internet forum what reground cams you need if you want to make 1000hp. For the $30K plus you'll pay for the motor the builder will specify the cam.

Waste of time and money. Just get some off the shelf units. To get the lift and duration you will need to alter the base circle. You can only go so far before needing to build up the lobes with weld. That is a no-go for this application it's super dodgy.

Billet units or nothing for such extreeme applications.

It's not lashing out when you consider that the shims can cost you more than the new HKS/Tomei etc cams do.

You really need to make sure that whatever grind you are offered there is no 'building up' of lobes going on.

These cams are very long to make matters harder and this is why we can't go getting local billet units done (that would beat the pants off the one size fits all we are stuck with).

The long cams mean straightness and balance are super critical or you end up with 4 peices of cam.

lol your dreaming 30k bro

Are you saying he's dreaming because its double that money or what?

Because considering in your screen name it says your building an os giken RB30/26 and an os giken bottom end is $30,000 alone ( http://www.otomoto.com.au/osgiken/RB30_race_engine.htm ) i think his statement was fairly accurate....

The first engine might not cost that much but by the third your will start to be getting to the $30K mark.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
