Hi all,

I'm over in the Uk, haven't been on the site for a little while but i'm hoping that some of you guys can help me out as you have alot more knowledge with N/A Skyline's than us lot!

I've got a '96 R33 GTS with the RB25DE.

I've just completed having individual throttle bodies fitted and mapped up etc.

Current tuning mods are:

Emerald K3 ECU

Custom made throttle body set up using GTR throttle bodies, Jenvey trumpets and Piper X filter socks

Uprated coilpacks

Wasted spark set up

Coby D12 exhaust manifold

Custom Powerflow 2.5in exhaust system

Tomei adjustable cam gears (only the exhaust one fitted atm where NVCS has been removed)

A/C removed

The car's acheieved 201bhp at the flywheel and now rev's up over 7500RPM.

Power delivery, torque and fueling have all smoothed out.

We're now looking to extract some more power.

There's a shift function on the ECU which means the other adjustable cam can be fitted and should she another 30-40bhp.

We're looking at doing something with the cam's next.

Does anyone do aftermarket cam's for the N/A?

If not, can the standard cam's be reprofiled to be more efficent?

If so, what's the best profile?

Any other info on cams or anything else i can do to futher extract more power will be greatly appreciated.

Here's a pic (sorry pic quality ain't great) of the set up so far!

you can regrind your cams to get more lift but duration is not so easy becareful revving it to 7500rpm the hydraulic tappets don't like it

this is how an NA RB should be done :D

Most after market cams are to suit turbo cars

.

so head over to camshaftshop.com and get kelford to make you up some big bastards to suit the NA throw in some better valve springs and if you can afford it a solid lifter coversion (just make sure that if you do the solid conversion that you get cams to suit)

Next step rev that bad boy to 9000+

Cheers all for the good comments!

I'll get a vid up soon and some better pics, picking her up next week as it cost me a lil bit more than i expected! lol!

She drives soooooo smooth tho and the sound! ;)

Hesh! send me a tx mate, i lost your number when my phone got repaired, they wiped the bloody memory! :)

Thanks for the info on the cams and cheers zebra, i'll check the site out!

I'm running ITB's on an RB20DE in my rallycar. Still a 2ltr for class requirements.

I don't have the exact spec of the cam's on hand, but they are 280° duration and max lift we could run with the standard lifters/followers. The head has also had a lot of porting done, although I feel we may have gone a little too far on the port size and cams. It pulls strong for a 2ltr, but is very fussy on intake length adjustment and doesn't have the torque I'm looking for yet.

Cams are a custom grind made by Kelford Cams, as no one really has any spec's on ITB N/A RB motors. I would say the 2.5ltr will be easier to strike the right tune with the cams thanks to the extra capacity. To me it sounds like you are after peak hp and rpm? I'm after the opposite, however the 'lil bugger does like to rev to 8,500rpm all day long on the stock bottom end. Oh and the sound!! :P

Vids' FYI

-motor is too flat below 4,000rpm

I'm after swinging to 8500 RPM but on a 3L...

Also, people say it's "in the lift and duration" how? do they lift less but have an uber long duration or something? I want to know that if you ran a 256degree Turbo cam, what the difference is to a 256 NA cam...

Sweet mate!

I'm a torque hunter like yourself bud :)

I wouldn't mind upping the hp abit tho, 300bhp would be nice.

The car's going in again in 2 weeks for a shift light function wiring in that can be used with the K3.

It should hopefully see some more hp, the garage has said possibly between 30 - 45bhp depending on how much they can fine tune it which they are fairly confident in.

Here's a vid of how she sound's!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
