In what?

Hydrolic lifters wouldn't find it amusing,

should net a nice amount of power extra though, eith larger TB and free flowing exhaust

Its going in an rb25de neo....how much are solid lifters these days? and wat size piping you think will be best i have 2 1/4 now im thinking 2 3/4. Cheers mate

RB25 neo's already have solid lifters, not sure how much lift they can handle though. They also have crappy exhaust cams, i reckon you'll get a decent amount out of it with some cams.

As for exhuaust, its really depends how much power you think you'll get out of it... a free flowing (mandrel, good mufflers) 2.5" really should be enough to be happy at ~ <160rwkw N/A (mandrel, good mufflers etc). Not sure how much you can get out of 2.25", but i'd guess if you were making much more than ~ 135rwkw, you'd want to increase the size.

If you have future intentions for nitrous, boost, or some more serious N/A work, 2.75" wont hurt anything, just for that extra resolution (car will be happy <200rwkw).

What other mods do you have? Done anything with intake? What about management? Cams like that are going to feel fairly flat without a tune, either a piggyback that handles ignition (like emanage ultimate) or full management.

i have

-cold air

-2 1/4 exhaust

-high flow cat

-emanage ultimate (not installed yet)

is the 2.25" mandrel bent?

If not, I wouldn't change it just for the hell of it, do some other stuff first and when its tuned, your tuner should tell you if there is too much backpressure, and if its whats choking your engine.

Can emanage ultimates alter VCT? As that will definately need adjustment for cams with that duration.

But yeah, in a nutshell, your car will love those cams with the gear it has. When you get it tuned, you will see if its being choked from the intake or exaust.

If i was you, as a next mod i'd put twin throttle body's on your intake manifold, shouldnt be too hard since it has the twin input Y peice as it is.

Granted its higher capacity, but with alot milder cams (255/8.3), my 30DE with twin 60mm throttle's, uses every last bit. Also, with exaust, it had 2.5" press bent, with a 2.25" section (decat pipe), it made 150rwkw, but tapered off quickly, it always felt flat after peak power aswell, after i fitted a 3" mandrel exhaust (2.75" wasnt available) that was no longer an issue and it held power strong until limiter.

Its not mandrel bent and not sure if you can alter vct with emanage and wouldnt vct go with new cams?

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
