i can't see my setup being anywhere close to a RB30 with -5's, (i'd choose that combo as well if going down that road, but with a neo head as well :D)

9 sec ramp i believe,

the interesting thing i found is how this setup compared to a 26 with vcam, very similar results, see..

as for mods, head has had some porting done i believe, baby cams though. Tomei expreme manifolds - midori dumps i think, middori s/s front pipes, midori titanium catback, not 100% sure of diametre - sard cat

meh, the 30 is always going to make more power sub 5,000 rpm but 5,000-8,000 I reckon the 26 will make at least as much. when you're up it there's not much time spent sub 4,500 or even sub 5,000 in a GTR. if it's a track car and you take the 26 to 9,000 (which is easily done with just some valve springs really) then see how the 2 compare.

don't get me wrong. I like the 30s and they have their place. for certain applications they are better than a 26. but not in ALL applications. both engines have their ups and downs.

don't forget as well daniels engine is a fairly basic 26 build. pretty much blueprinted, N1 type engine with mild cams. I'm sure with headwork etc it could probably make even more. but shit who really needs more than 400kw atw????? it's a road car after all and a fking nice one at that. it's not just the 400kw, it's the fact it's a 1 owner since new Nur, low kms, immaculate body and interior, and all the nice bits like big Alcons front and rear, hand made midori titanium exhaust and on and on the list goes. *sigh. such a nice GTR.

VCT for RB26 is not expensive

Are you referring to HKS Vcam or running a setup like a Neo head/modified Nissan VCT on a 26 head?

Just to clarify, I meant for the difference in those results if the vcam cost for example $4000 from hks plus fitting and tuning, to me at least it doesn't seem worth it :)

Vcam is around the $5k mark when i was looking, and then quoted about $1000 for install - then you'd need tuning time

VCT for RB26 is not expensive

but for those getting a workshop to do it it gets $$ because of all the labour involved, even if the parts aren't the expensive. it's the expensive RB26 labour that hurts - cheap as if you can DIY

RB26 head. We only use the R33 VCT inlet gear and the rest we make ourselves. So far, costs have been minimal but we had the cylinder head off already. That would add substantial cost to the conversion but good for anyone in the build. We are working out all our cam specs next week as we don't want pistons saying hello to valves when everything is advanced.

The difference is amazing in both boost response and power. You guys are talking about possibly going the 30 instead of a VCT setup.....what about 30 AND VCT together? I just barred up a little

I love where you're heads at (the one on your neck, not the pants)

Earlier last year I started to play with ideas using 33 vct on a 26 head but got distracted and cbf'd.

I'm already rb30, and the head has to come off...

What sort of cam specs are you aiming for? 260 with 10.25mm lift or thereabouts?

made it in by .5 of a rwkw :D

400.5rwkw

2530's

smallish cams, 256

Powerplus E85

mid to high 21psi

Racepace adj cam gears, all for response (let the E85 take care of the top end)

built 26, not 100% on pistons hence no 24psi runs etc.

what intercooler, are you running??

No I mean 26/30's with VCT

How much of a gain would you say there would be between a 26 head with VCT vs 25 neo head with VCT ?

I hope that guy leaning over the bonnet isn't listening for knock? LOL if he is

Pete from nistune told me that if you have nothing else sticking your head in the engine bay with a pair of ear muffs works quite well, up there with the garden hose over an intake bolt! lol.

Can't tell you the cam specs sorry. That has been the most important part so far. We have spent a lot of time working out what will work and what will not including head off 2 times in a GTR in one week. I hate doing them

Our stuff is different to HKS's.

None, all the technology in the RB26 head is present in the Neo head. Valve/port angle etc. The only benefit the 26 head has is more readily available parts

Well it depends on what setup you have. If you have an ecu capable of switching a solenoid at a certain rpm, then we would be able to sort out something within a couple of weeks. We are still working on the standard ECU guys options.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
