Not relieved mate

So what lift/duration would be optimum for my setup, for midrange and top end reving to 8500 max

Standard poncams? Or jun 272 8.8 lift? Etc so many options but I still don't know much about lift/duration and what's better, bigger lift and smaller duration or smaller lift and bigger duration?

Ok thanks il pm him

What would be ur opinion on cam choice based on ur experiences?

If you want throttle response (which is something you CAN'T see on a dyno) no bigger than 260. My 260's spun to 8000 on 25 psi without dropping off, on higher boost ( turbos were out of puff) peak grunt was 6500 but only lost 15 kw by 8000 rpm).

We are going to try a smaller duration and higher lift cam soon.

... Awaits micks post :D

thanks for txt Paulie, I went from 260 type B to 250 type R poncams, same peak power just everything happened 800-1000 rpm earlier on a stock 2.6 with -7s

Paul, your cams are what I would think are near perfect in lift v duration, and XKLABA only has two As :thumbsup:

What would you recommend for my setup?

According to piggaz seems bigger lift is better then bigger duration? Something along the lines of 256/260 with a 9.6 lift etc?

9.6 mm won't fit in your head though.

depends on funds and how far you want to go, I like Pauls cams but that is a fair chunk of cash

the type Rs would be a good start and relatively cheap, 9.3mm lift is about as far as the stock springs will stand and IIRC about 9.5mm for head clearance on older heads with stock 32mm base circle which is why most high lift cams now have a 30mm base circle allowing 11.5mm lift just have to reshim ( which is a good idea with any cam change )

Sponge bob 2's are coming Mick ;)

I can't wait, hopefully I'll get the first set

will go new springs when the time comes and definetly clearance check/new shims too, so smaller base circle would be a problem..

thanks

the smaller base circle fixes the clearance problem, by reducing the base circle by 2mm and shimming the bucket up 2mm means the point of the cam can be the same diameter from center of cam as stock but pushes the bucket down the extra 2mm to end up at the same height as stock but having the shim 2mm thinker means the valve is 2mm further down, hope this makes sense, i'm all sorts of cut ATM

Some of yous have already seen my result. It is still reasonable to keep this thread updated with latest reslults obtained from a Rb25det. Plus I think this is also the most responsive 407rwkws any 2.5L Rb25det ever got on stock cams and factory cam gears. Details:


93 model R33 GTST Forged CP pistons, valve springs and stock every thing else.

800cc injectors

600x300x75mm Front mounted cool

Brae high mount exhaust manifold

HPVA 50mm external gate plumbed back.

Xforce 3inch Cat back exhaust

100 Cell Cat

Profect B electric boost controller

4inch intake pipe

Adaptronic Plugin

Power so far is 407rwkws @ 24psi E85 Fuel

HyperGear ATR43SS3 CBB VNT Turbocharger.



Turbocharger reached peek power of 407rwkws on 24psi of boost

This turbocharger had big turbo's top end while retains small turbocharger's down low. I've overlaid my result against result from a high flowed stock R33 21U turbocharger.

There are bit more in it. When it maxes out the upper rev power and torque merges together per additional psi of boost. This one is still increasing both power and torque evenly per additional boost added. We didn't bother squeezing maximum power out of it as the project goal was 400rwkws and this car needs cams.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
