hi guys,

i am looking at upgrading my cams but i want to know how far i can go with the rb26 head before i need to change buckets & springs...

as far as i am aware tomei pon cams @ IN 260/EX 260 Lift 9.15 is close to the max?

fyi im building an rb30 & my goal is 400+awkw (street setup)

regards,

marko

9.15mm lift. ANy more and you have to machine the head

So:

Tomei Poncam

HKS Step 1

A'PEXi Sttep 1

GReddy Step 1

You can get different durations from every manufacturer, but the lift will all be around 9.1 to 9.15mm

should i look at matching my exhaust cam with my inlet cam taking into consideration the below specs:

A269IN (inlet) 9.15mm lift

A252X (exhuast) 9.15mm lift

...or can the 252degree be adjusted out with the cam gears - NFI

i just went and bought

tomei 270 11.8mm and tomei buckets.. obviously needs work for cam lobe clearance and buckets replaced.

i thought since the bottom end will be pretty soild, the top end deserves a bit of a tickle too..

i'll prob have a set of hks or tomei cams for sale that will suit standard buckets. will get them measured up when i pull em out.

lol, with nearly 12mm lift you will be highly likely to end up with valve meeting piston and any decent rpm... it will certainly need checking and most likely new pistons.

not exactly...there is a way to keep everything friendly. Its doesn't involve pistons either.

yeah of course there are ways to stop it happening, but they only work if you do it before your engine is built. ie it needs to be checked while everything is in the build.

i'm sure my engine builder will not have a problem at all.

nothing has been built yet... slowest build ever perhaps?

then you have nothing to worry about. :(

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
