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

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
