Neo Cam Specs Vs R33 Rb25, Do Neos Hold Power Longer?

Just found this really interesting link.

http://www.tomei-p.c...haft-specs.html

Looks like the neo rb25 has even more lift than the rb26s on the exhaust cam, curious to see if this follows through on dyno sheets with neo rb25dets, do they seem to hold top end power better than r33 rb25s?

neo in 8.4 ex 8.7

rb26 in 8.6 ex 8.28

though the 26 ex has more duration and different LCA

Reason I ask is rb26s seem to hold power to 8k and beyond, where as 25s always seem to fall over by 7k.

Hard to know. It's not just the cam profiles that are different. The Neo combustion chamber is flatter, so the valve heads are closer to horizontal, which makes it harder to make the ports flow nicely. So for all we know the bigger cams might have been to compensate for some lost flow.

Yeah I realise a lot is different, apparently the neo head is very similar to the 26 head which is why I am wondering what is the main differences that lets the 26 keep making power to 8k.

Eg if you get a turbo config on a 26 that comes on at 4k it will keep pulling till 8k, if you have the same turbo config on a 25 it has usually started dying in the ass by 7k.

Doubt that very much given my GT3040/RB25 setup pulled to 8,000rpm on a stock RB25 head/cams with a rebuilt bottom end.

The only time to see them die off around 7000rpm is because of the turbo selection.

A GT3076/.82 for instance, does not fall over @ 7000rpm.

Problem people have with a 25 head is valve float due to age/condition etc when going over 7000-74000rpm.

Yeah, the Neo head is not "very similar" to the 25 head. The 26 chamber is probably more like the older 25 chamber. The thing that is similar is really just the solid lifters.

Would capacity, compression ratio or bore/stroke ratio come into play, even though the capacity difference is very small.

I might retract part of what I said about the valve heads being "flatter"......I must have licked a cane toad. As far as I know the included angle between the valves is the same on the Neo head as on the other RB heads, so therefore the valve faces must be at the same angle to the inlet and exhaust port gasket faces - give or take. So that shouldn't make the ports particularly harder to make flow.

The Neo inlet manifold almost looks like the Nissan engineers sacrificed some of the "optimisation" of shape that yuo see in the earlier manifolds. They are more square and simple. I don't know if they just did it to gain some room for the extra TC butterfly, or if they did it because they worked out how to make it flow without the obvious "optimisation" visible in the older ones, or if they had some other reason. Nevertheless, there is some potential for the Neo inlet to be different to the others. Having gone to the effort of typing all that, and as has been posted above - the 26 has a very different inlet again, one which you would expect to be superior in just about every way that really matters.

Needs to be analyzed vs. valve head diameters (particularly exhaust), lobe separation angle, and some other parameters.

Also solid lifters in Neo head have to have some clearance betw. lobe and tappet, so subtract that from cam lift figure.

Does anyone know of any difference's between ER34 and other neo(c35 laurel) cams?

Did a long motor swap and lost 70HP on the same boost. Not a huge deal as i'm hoping poncams will wake it up.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
