I have been thinking which cams to run in my RB30/RB26 setup.. after reading lots of post I was thinking that the Tomei poncams.. 264 duration with 9.15 lift was the best option? The other otpion would be HKS Step ones which are 264 with only 8.7lift.. What would be the difference in drivability and power output with each of these setups?

I am running a stock bottom end and will limit the rpm to around 6750. maybe 7000rpm max. Will have the rods peened so trying to determine the max boost I can run at the mo relatively safely!? I reckon about 1.4bar? I am hoping to get around 550bhp plus at the flywheel with the corect supporting mods and turbo.

I have just had the offer of a pair of HKS cams.. they are both step1 but one is a 264 and one is a 272?

How will this set up work. does it matter which cam has the longer duration?

What should I do!!

Thanks

Lee

Hey there,

I will be running a big single! Main thing is I wil be limited on boost and rpm by the fact I have a stock bottom end.. so reckon max 20psi and 7000rpm.. although I'll probably run more like 17psi and 6750 rpm to be safe!

Cheers

Lee

Adriano,

Are yours the step 2 hks? So you have uprated springs as well.. Would you suggest sticking with stock cams or holding out for some tomei's?

I can get the cams with pullies or £250. New I think they are about £260 each plus shipping! I thought that was pretty good!

I am planning to run either a Master Power or a Holset.. More chance it will be a Holset at the mo.. So it's a little bit experimental! So you reckon i'll make the power on lower boost? Surely that woul dbe better for the engine?

Cheers

Has anybody cam doctored any of name brand Cams. I think for the RB30/26 you could probably get away with aggressive ramps as the rev limit is 1000rpm lower than most rb26. I would like to know who has the greatest area under the curve for the same advertised duration.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
