I have had the luck of owning some R32 Gibson cams. I had them cam doctored. Thought I would share some information as this forum has helped me quite a bit. I never installed them as they did not run a std base circle. These were machined from nissan blanks. They did run different cams for different tracks, along with a sump specific to the track. No idea what circuit these were for.

Inlet

261

9.54mm

326.4 lobe center

Exhaust

273

9.74mm

326.4 lobe center

Tolerance: 1/2 thou

May give you an insight into my own cam choice. I didn't stagger my cams as I have plenty of exhaust flow from the 3ltr.

The base circle was 1mm under(30mm). I would just be grabbing some JUN Cams(as i have done)

JUN

IN 264 9.7 EX 272 9.7

Std 31mm base circle

No Cam lobe refuge machining

Can use with Std springs but i use Tomei Type B-9500rpm(type A-8500rpm max) which are heavier than what come with the JUN kit.

or

HKS

IN 264 10mm EX 272 10.2mm

What we found with testing JUN Cams

264 264 gives more power and better response than std cams, pretty smooth idle

264 272 gives more power than above and better spool than below, slight lump

272 272 less 500rpm response more power, little lumpy

Can you give a quick overview of your specs? You mentioned 3lt but what head/manifolds/turbo/power etc.

How much did the doctoring cost?

Doctoring was $40

Howards Rods

8.55:1 Comp

1mm Cometic head gasket(good squish)

ARP throughout

Have a look at this link for cam testing on a 3SGTE. The reason I bring this up is the results we got from our own testing on a Rb26/30 was similar in curve, rpm, duration, lift and relationships apart from the 272IN and 264EX which we haven't tested and our 264/272 combo resulted in 10kw gain up top over 264/264, torque was also 150rpm later.

Hey Matt,

So just to be clear, the above results was with the cams set at zero?

Cheers

I have this exact setup in my car already haha.

Will have to think about whether it's worth changing.

Interesting to see these results as they go against the grain with a lot of people.

Good work Matt. :thumbsup:

I agree cams with around that duration just seem to work really well on a mildish setup

Im on 260 10.2 270 10.2 tomei's.

After cam timing was setup these cams are very very lumpy

2.6LTR

twin 2530's

410awkw on 98

467awkw race fuel

We pieced this combo together in 2004 and to this day i cant bring myself to change a single part of the setup it destroys other gtrs with big single's and 150+hp..

Nice info matt...

Great results from 2530's. What boost are your running? Additional specs would be great.

Matt

Lots of $$ invested in the head is helping alot:

Jhh ported head/built 2.6

1mm+ IN 2mm+ EX valves

Good multi angle valve job

Tomei cams as above

Extrude honed stock manifold

2530's

Almost maxed 800cc sards

Dual nismo intanks

Sorted my suspension issues out recently taking it out saturday should go bottom 10's hopefully..

2mm oversized exhaust valves? Damn, don't hear of that often. Surely that's the maximum that fits in there.

Which actuators are you using?

Fantastic result, I bet it's fun!!!

Jealous for sure

This is a Txt from my engine build on 2mm+ IN 3+Ex:

Yep it would fit in the chamber. Better if it was a 88mm bore( sleeved block) No point though as I can't remove that much material in the port or I'll find water

Actuators went from hks to 19 and now to 25psi units exhaust side must be getting close to the limits.

Quite excited to get it on e85 should be faster again with the extra torque from the fuel and push closer to 500kw if the turbos hold up..

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
