he is aiming for 380kw though, certainly not low, but not some 500kw monster that needs it to get the power.

Its easy to become indifferent to numbers but 380 wheel watts is a friggin lot of power.

Do A nicely balanced head to suit and it will make that power more efficiently with better boost and torque characteristics too.

Thanks for the feed back so far gents..

Its good to see other peoples opinions on head work re the RB..

380rwkw was just a figure I pulled from the sky, I use to drive it at 300kw so I was merely adding a reasonable factor on top.. Hell the more power I can screw out of her the better.. But in reality I want to make sure I do everything right. Keeping in mind I'm still retaining the purist RB25 standard capacity approach..

As for 5K worth of slicks, well I'm sure that could occur but far far later down the track as well its still in bits/undrivable at this point in time..

Now another question, I have heard that the bronze guides have a pretty quick wear rate?? If this being true is there any other guides in which I can use?? Keeping in mind I want to use the 1mm oversize valves..

Cheers..

I'll say this quietly in case Nismoid is listening.

Use the factory iron guides, they are more durable than the bronze jobbys.

Getting the engines breathing characteristics to suit the other mods is the key to unleashing the true potential of your build.

Every performance category be it, drags, marine, Tractor pulls, circuit,N/A Forced induction or whatever has had countless hours of time and money poured in to developing cylinder heads simply because that is where Real horsepower benefits and torque characteristics to suit the application can be found.

Mismatching parts, and not understanding the application is where things seem to come unstuck.

Best example I've seen many times over is using drag spec engine+head mods in ski boat engines. Different discipline, different requirements, need different parts and approaches to specs and modifications.

Have you considered swapping the motor or maybe head to a neo rb25det

Head has soild lifters, larger exhaust valves already

Not sure if the stock neo head will make your power goal, but with researching.

May work out alot cheaper

+1 If you can find one to start with.

Question..

What supertech cam followers do I need to purchase if I choose to use the Tomei 270/10.25mm cams??

I've been told there are 29mm and 31mm base circle styles..

Cheers..

Hi,

Looking for some help with cams... I've just bolted up a GT3076 with internal gate to my RB25 series 1 and I have a pair of Tomei Poncams 256 degree 8.5mm lift I would like to drop in. I'm not looking to get any real power gains from them, but just to move the powerband round, for more response and and earlier spool up, would these cams be adequate for the job? The cams came with the option VCT retained, what is this about and is there any tutorials or DIY's on instalment of these cams?

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
