You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

If listed all the go fast bits on my car, people would think AMAGAD BUILD THREAD??? but it performs rather.. averagely.

Not bad, just averagely.

It has Tomei type B's in it (engine is 2.8L), adjustable cam gears, and I'm not 100% certain that it's all the way it should be. It probably isn't actually wrong, but I doubt it's completely right so it'll bug me until it's checked.

I've also read many places on SAU that having an adjustable exhaust cam gear is of benefit. So I got one, with my cams, and no one has ever actually adjusted it to see if it does anything. Just a "she'll be right mate its designed to be on +0" in which case why even make the item?

Fair enough, have you had opinions from the tuners etc..?

Is it currently with a reputable workshop?

Curious to know which one its at. PM it if you want to keep the workshop private

race cams for race head or just OEM head???

If OEM will certainly requiring machining. That's about all I know.......and IF I'm wrong well my disclaimer is this.......kiss my French something something dark-side :P

just be wary: procam is for solid lifters. poncam is for hydraulic. anything bigger than 280-290 degrees... you'd want solid.

Dont know much about those engines, but cams that big is like "I need to wait 15mins for my car to warm up before its possible to drive it under 40km/h" and the "my car doesnt make power less than 4krpm"

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
