Just a quick question, doing my r32 gtr single turbo built soon with a gtx35. My mechanic advises me to put a decent head gasket to be safe, in doing this he suggest to take the engine out to install most items he can also change the head gasket, and i thought while hes got that off why not throw in some nice cam shafts to support a decent sized single turbo. Its not a track car or anything so im not real worried about low end torque, more in the way to support the turbo in mid/high range. Any suggestions on brand and degree's to point me in the right direction. I was looking at the tomei poncam type B's that come with cam gears aswell. Just drop in ones.

Also i was looking at intake manifolds, unnecessary? the stock one looks pretty good to me although it would be easy to change doing all this.

Thanks

p.s (has to sound wicked, idling in someones window at a set of lights too!) :cool:

Intake manifold is totally unnecessary.

Keep the duration as short as possible as from the sound of it you aren't going to lift your rev limit to take advantage of longer duration camshafts.

I'm going to assume your engine is not built and your just dropping some cam in the head while it is apart.

Look to get a set of camshafts with the biggest possible lift without requiring machining of the head (Do a forum search)

something in 272 degrees of advertised duration would give you the sound your after without destroying drive-ability excessively.

I would not go over 272 degrees for a lightly modified engine and in your case 264's would probably be a better match whilst not sounding as good.

Whatever way you go, definitely get adjustable cam gears.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
