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.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
