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.

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
