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.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
