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.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
