Iv got my rb25det s2 r33 and has 650cc inj, bosch pump, dsr430 turbo, fmic, linkg4 etc

Was wondering if straight drop in 272deg. 8.4mm lift camshafts are too big for my setup?

Iv tried searching...but doesnt quite make sense to me... what deg cams would i want for my setup? because will 272deg make power too late in the rev range? or...?

im hopeing for about 275+ at the wheel...

thankyou

I know there massive...but would they do anything being that big?

if u get gears and dial them in, you can definately get them to work for you.. the secret to anything good is R n D, and I cant say I have much faith in how much research OR development has gone into those.. never heard of em to be honest.

thats not to say their shit, try find someone else using them and go from their results.

If your hoping for 275, stock cams will be fine.

Camtech do 272/9mm lift for 25's.

but I really think its pointless at that power level.

Its been said time and time again stock cams have worked well at 370kw's +

money could be spent better else where on the car!

Well whats somthing else that could be better spent on the car power wise? i would like some advice! :P

you will be fine, dont know about that turbo tho. My mechanic worked on a 25 with 270 tomei cams, sure the had more lift, but his power delivery wasnt too bad. Definitely useable.

But that was with a gt35r

Is the turbo you have specced capable of making the desired power level?

Money is best spent getting that right.

Looks like a Chinese style 430hp turbo... so highly unlikely it will make 275rwkw.

Probably closer to 230-240rwkw with a nice taste of lag.

No turbo that costs $450 AUD is going to be nice...

I mean the cams just about cost more than the damn turbo... that's just telling you there is something seriously wrong :P

OP - Forget the CAMS, and spend the money on a DECENT turbo.

The turbo claims to make 270rwkw on an rb25det...and they have some dynos for it too... i know its still a cheap turbo and a decent turbo is the way to go but i dont have that much to pay for a big pricetag turbo...but i know i shudnt skimp out on somthing so important...but this turbo seems to look like it will do the trick? if what they claim is true....

heres a dyno sheet off there website

^ Hub dyno mate, it's not RWKW.

So if you spend the CAMS money onto the turbo, a nice decent Garrett or similar, then the car would perform much better in all respects.

You'll probably still be shy another $400-500, so perhaps save up that little bit more on top and then do it once you have the cash together.

A GT3071 would be what you are after IMO. A nice 260rwkw, would be superb streeter.

Take 10rwkw off that dyno sheet as they are using DIN which is an old correction factor (what the US uses), it should be in SAE J1349

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
