RedFox: The next generation Commodore is supposed to sport a quadcam 3.8L V6, with some form of forced induction tipped... especially in light of the success of the XR6T....

Personally, I think the XR6T is awesome and could lead to good things :D

barrp! snap.. barrrrp! snap.. BANG!

XR6T going down the strip, snapping second and third... then leaving the contents of the gearbox on the road.

love the motor, hate the gearbox.

Have a mate who works in Ford R&D he claims it is the most unsuccessful car for ford Aust ever in terms of recalls and failures with respect to the gearbox uh oh :D

Ronin, why bother with that POS manual in the XR6T when you could bathe glory of the four-speed auto? It is handling some big power from tuner cars in standard trim.

Ford's stripping weight out of the 6T for Series II and will unleash a 280+kW 6spd FPV version soon. Second "Golden Era" of Aussie muscle.

Holden's new 3.5L quad-cam, all-alloy 4V-per cyl motor is rumoured to have a turbo hanging off each bank of cylinders as well. Not huge power, but massive amounts of torque. They're also gearing up for the new 6.0L Gen IV V8

all hopes were pinned on cars such as the magnificent Lamborgini, Porsches, BMWs etc to post some of the fastest speeds ever seen from production cars.

I dunno about rules/claims for this... but the XR6t that was tested was no-longer a production car in my eyes.

Unless the Lambo/Porches etc were all modified too (which im doubtful of)

The Vic XR6t's that are running 11's have had money spent on thier Auto's.

The Nizpro one has had such, 100%, it was in a article they participated in and said it needs mod's to the trans that they can provide to make it last

Aus can now start to lay claim to building some of the best/quickest saloon cars in the world.

You can sling mud and say they ar heavy, but what do BMW, Jags, Mercedes and Audi weigh, the local product is doing rather well in my eyes.

That said i cant justify the spend for modern cars, ill wait until i get a company car before i worry about what the manufacturers are offering... but an F6 Typhoon sounds the goods

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
