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?

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
