cams are great

BUT, if you do go down this route, grab matching spring lifters, and have the head fitted with new valve stem seats and seals, valve head guides

port and machine the head for optimal enhanced flow

with the new tomei springs, poncams, new ported/flowed head... you'll love the difference.

but then again afterwards you'll be leaning towards turbocharging your n/a r34

:P

Thanks soo they would be ok like 9.25 lift?

I think I'm going to do it.

With emanage ultimate tuned, 2.5" cat back, high flow cat, turbo injectors, turbo fuel pump and regulator, cams and valve springs.

I think I should make decent power!

I'll keep you guys updated =]

when buying new cams, the "stage" or "type" is just a marketing term. research and find out what would be best suited for what you intend on doing with the car

im guessing your putting it in a rb25?

machine work isnt really needed but recomended to take the cylinder head in to a reconditioner and get them to do a vacuum test pressure test surface grind and change valve stem seals

also get them to check that the standard valve springs will suit the cam or you may need to replace them

since the rb25 is hydrualic you wont need to do anything with the lifters, unless you convert it to solid shim lifter which the clearances will have to be set

spring base washers (or as some people call the spring seats but they are just washers) dont need replacing

guides dont need to be changed unless they have wear, if the reconditioner says they cant find the guides if they are needed, tell them to get 24 x rb26 intake guides

porting, decking, chamber matching/ grinding all extras depending on what your chasing

if you want to turbo it later all you have to do is adjust the intake cam and exhaust cam seperation and it will suit a turbo

hope that helped

the rb25 neo runs solid lifters from factory like the rb26's

The tomie type B are 260 duration by 9.15mm and are designed as a "drop in" cam so you wont need machining to fit the cams. Springs would be a nice addition if you're planning on reving the thing (which i hope you are otherwise theres no point getting the cams haha)

fair enough, (still learning myself)

though since its a shim setup you might need to check the base circle of the cam to the top of the bucket

thanks mate!

And yer I do plan on reving it as high as I can go.

Ahhahaha

so springs have been in my mind but it's the money that gets in my way.

The cams are bought by the way...

Just waiting for them to come!

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
