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.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
