not sure about the prices, we pay 900 for them in AUS, not sure if its 900 in NZ or what the go is.

i think clearancing will be all,you will have to have a decent search on the hydraulic lifters in the head.

as i said before, depending, some people have issues at over 350rwkw,i think larger cams may impact also? dont quote me on it though.

in the below thread are all the RB cam specs

Really depends where you want to make the power, my mate has 280' 10.5mm cams in his 25DET/30+T04Z, it's a bit laggy but fkn screams to 8000+, oh and sounds awesome :rofl:

I'm sticking with the DE cam for now as they made decent power in the last 30 setup, 365rwkw @ 21psi through a pair of 2540s (bad), stock throttlebody/plenum (RB20), and I'd prefer the lower down from the shorter duration, I'm not bolting a HUGE turbo (GT35R) on so small cams and keeping the rev limit sensible (7500ish depending on when it stops making power) is the name of the game for me.

I found the NZ version, it's $1200 nz...darn you auzzies and your exchange rate etc lol

will have a look into the lifters and see what I can find out, short on time atm haven't looked yet

Haha I checked out a few videos of t04z + worked cam rb's and they do sound f***ing AMAZING! lol

More looking for midrange power than huge lag tho...do you think the Kelford 272's 9.35 or the 262 9.3 would still respond pretty well without lagging like a freight train?

Already have a 25 head to use haha

plus over here at least 26 heads are ridiculous prices, waaay more than doing a solid lifter conversion anyway lol (seen a bare rb26 head, ie no valves valve springs cams or cam gears going for near $1800 lol), and since i'm gonna have the 25 head apart to be reconditioned anyway...

which brands make a good solid lifter kit for rb's?

Just waiting on my solid lifter conversion kit to arrive.

Its a supertec setup that includes oversize inlet and exhaust valves, Solid lifters, dual valve springs, Retainers.

Dan at ERD organised it for me. Website below

I'd go for something around 260' in the biggest lift you can get (that will still fit your head).

Awesome, if you don't mind my askin how much did it sting you? PM me if you want.

Let me know how it works out for ya and how easy it is to install

Sounds good lol, now I don't know much bout cams so forgive me if this is a stupid question, if I go ahead with the solid lifter conversion will this affect how much lift there'll be in the head?

Just out of interest what did that cost you, if you don't mind me asking?

If you get cams to suit hydraulic lifters, and then do a solid lifter conversion, it will run like crap as the ramp rates (time for starting to open to full open, vice versa for closed) are different for hydraulic and solid lifters.

I think you only need solids if revving high as the hydraulics get to a point where they can no longer pump up in time before the next cycle.

Just out of interest what did that cost you, if you don't mind me asking?

around the 2500 mark mate. The conversion allows you a much more aggressive camshaft setup. (higher lift and more duration etc) Plus its way lighter than a hydro setup.

For this engine I'm planning to get an internal lift pump surge tank and two Bosch 044 pumps for the surge tank to engine, but I'm just after an idea for the actual surge tank and lift pump...what size surge tank would I need? What brands have you guys use and found good? And what kind of in tank lift pump would I need? As above engine setup will be RB30det with t04z aiming for 500rwhp

Hey

my setup is still in the process of being sourced / built

but as for surge tank, I'm using a 3L tank to 2 x 044 externals, walbro feed pump, 6 x 1000cc injectors

on a 26/30 with gt3076r 0.82 on E85... hoping for around 350rwkw...

:)

Awesome, the 044's seem to be popular in most of the magazine articals I've seen just none of them list the size of the surge tank or lift pump lol. What sort of walbro lift pump are you looking at?

Wish e85 was commonly available over here...tho to be fair Im gonna be using mine on the street mostly so probably not practical lol...but still. lol

Okay, probably won't really be needed then, I'm only really planning to rev limit it at about 8000-8250 or so, so the hydraulic lifters will be able to handle that correct?

Not sure at 8000rpm.. I'm going to suck it and see how they go.

That's pretty overkill.. the 3L+T04Z I mentioned earlier is only running 1x 044 intank.

I asked my tuner a while ago whether I should run a surge tank and he said don't bother, they mounted an 044 nice and low in the tank for me and assured me that it would do the job as that's how they run all their drift cars. It went from surging if under half a tank when throwing 'nuts, to being able to whip 'nuts with no surging under 1/4 of a tank.

I'm only shooting for 500rwhp but I've got 1000cc injectors so IF we ever get E85 over here, I should only need to upgrade the pump setup.

pretty sure there is a thread for the fuel systems here somewhere,

a stock in tank pump is fine for the lift pump 2-4l seems to be the go for tanks,

make it a round one, as they are meant to swirl the fuel so no air gets in there.

Awesome thanks man! Is this another get one custom made sorta thing or are they fairly commonly available?

    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number.
