this is very interesting. what sort of bottom end improvement could this yield on an RB26?

Some bloke gives away a secret if you read page 11. It has obviously been done but how and also how to do it reliably.

This is interesting, any info on how to go about incorporating VCT into a 26?

Paul from Red R Racing has had something available for a while now having VCT on the RB26 head; simple and cost effective solution from what I have seen. One of his Stage 2 heads with VCT would be a total animal with the right turbo combination!

There was a more recent post on VCT for the RB26 head but I can't find it now. The link further back in this thread doesn't work. Does anyone have a chart showing the curve for an RB26 with VCT switched on and off to compare? It seems ERD and Red R Racing have developed a VCT system for the 26 - does anyone have prices for a completed head or for conversion of a supplied head? And is special ecu software required or will most aftermarket ecus such as Link/Vipec and Motec be able to run this OK?

That's the link to the dyno graph I PM'd someone here. The runs were done one after the other on 10psi boost on a bush bearing T04Z. We still hadn't done a larger inlet cam at this stage so the spec on the inlet side were roughly around the 245 deg advertised x 8.3mm lift. The car has a larger inlet cam in it now which has improved the response slightly but the wheels have changed since then too so I can't do a comparo from the baby cam to the new one

The Green line is VCT off and Blue line is VCT on.

Also when the boost was increased to 30psi, the response gap between the two is larger. The VCT switching point should be just prior to the line intersection and it will follow the higher line but your tuner should know that already.

The real world gains in advancing inlet camshaft timing at low to mid engine rpm far out ways the given gains in the displayed dyno graph but it does clearly shows the result of net losses if cam timing is left in the advanced position

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
