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!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
