man, youd wanna have a good car to be out there, i find it bad enough driving my company car up

the freeway on a hot day :)

Not wrong Craig.

The locals were telling us that they don't bother recording temperatures that exceed 50 deg but temps in the mid 50's are quite common.....whew, I'm thirsty just thinking about it again!

All Skylines would die up there unfortunately.....and some 4WD's too, lol.

Nothing grows with that heat, not even weeds.

u might be able to change the springs inside the wastegate so u can run more boost, when i bought my turbosmart gate it came with 4 springs

running your gt3076 with the .7 compressor housing on your low mount manifold might have clearance problems with your engine mount

when i mounted my gt35 on my 6boost low mount manifold i had to have the engine mount machined down a bit to make it clear

Those manifolds were sold with in the HKS GT3037 kits which is the HKS version of a the GT3076 so he shouldn't have any trouble. you can see on the front 3 runners they curve up before the collector which allows for large compressor housing to clear.

EDIT!!

LOL that's not what you were saying though, the kits were bolt on items though so there shouldn't have to be any mount modification needed, from what i understand they actually move the turbo forward slightly from the factory position.

Your apology is accepted and I appreciate that it was done publicly rather than by PM.

IMHO, it takes a real man to come out in public and apologize, so thanks.......water under the bridge now. :P

I'm sorry you're bold Pete :P Apology accepted? :teehee:

I know that of lot of people on here have arguments with their wives and girlfriends over the amount of time and $ spent on 'that bloody car'.

Valentines Day is approaching so I thought that I'd put forward this T-shirt as a gift suggestion:

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
