im replacing the exhaust cam in a rb25neo which is from a stagea. the cam is a U6 type.

are rb25neo (stagea) cams different from rb25neo (r34gtt) cams?

could i use the r34 gtt exhaust cam in my rb25neo stagea engine?

what no. is a r34gtt exhaust cam?

thanks

the S2 Stagea and the R34 share the same exhaust cam p/n in fast for the RB25DET, RB25DE is different. also interesting is that the inlet cam p/n is the same across the 2.5L Neo range, DE, DET, Stagea, R34 are all the same

A few of us skeptics believe that the stock cams in the Stagea engines (S1 & S2) are 'milder' (a 'leaner grind') than R34; but they're the same engine, so just ask your tuner's advice on which cam to order - it will be the same as for the R34, and should unlock the power :)

ive spoken to three workshop and all say they arnt sure.

im looking at purchasing a second hand stock item.

im sure someone here knows what no. the r34gtt cam has on it? (stagea neo cam has U6)

i have 260deg type B poncams and i reckon the stockers are identical to all neo RB25DET's.

i'm sure i was one of the doubters that started a rumour that stagea cams might be different (years ago) when we struggled to make power expected with certain upgrades.

I think we do still struggle to make the same power :happy: But maybe it is the trans eating it all up... Look at what Tangles has had to do for his ~240kw... a turbo specialist told me that all I had to do was get my turbo rebuilt with a GT30 core and bingo I'd make 240+ kw everything standard. He was talking about R33's and R34's so a different camshaft is certainly a *convenient* theory... although I think even those cars would struggle to make that power so easily.

I still *think* the cam in an s1 Stagea is possibly different (but there may be other factors as well, such as the tuning), as the same motor in an R33 s2 makes more power (and probably more torque too, or at least spreads its torque differently) than the RB25DET in a Stagea s1.

When the s2 Stagea was released, the power and torque levels were identical to the RB25DET Neo in the R34.

I'm interested to know what you find out, beRwick_GTRage, 'cause as you have probably noticed no-one seems to know for sure what the go is with cam's in the series 2. But the idea of Poncams (ok, expensive) and a full port-and-polish (MEGA expensive - head off!) is very appealing...

On the contrary Dave the S2 seems quite clear cut: R34GTT and Stagea have the same neo engine and cams although there is not the same confidence about the S1 as yet (should be easy to check). Anyway you don't need poncams and port and polish to get to 240awkw (although it makes for a nice engine). You do need a front mount though. Just got my car back from the dyno and would have been a 240awkw car but just too much for my smic so knocked back timing etc and now have a safe 225.7awkw. Charts and details tomorrow.

thanks for the help everyone.

the cas drive on my exhaust cam broke so i need to replace the whole cam.

i was only looking for an oem replacement.

ill probably go with the r34gtt cam. i just need to know what code number it is?

because its not U6, U6 is the rb25neo stagea exhaust cam code number.

Yeah posted that before GoldZilla's post... but it's cool if they have the same cams, just means my auto must be eating lots of power... :D

OT...

That's an amazing tune, exactly the sort of tune I have been after, and I was only looking for 200rwkw... and you've got 225 at all 4 on a sidemount? series 1? look forward to details!

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
