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.

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?

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
