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.

why 9000? its like saying pushing your turbo to 40psi. its a nice number but unnecessary if setup properly (for street and occasional track use)

congrats hamish. when you getting torago?

what turbo's did the car come with again fagmatron?

If it's GTSS' as my memory seems to be telling me then they might be a titch small for the 3.0

GT-SS

They'll be fine; it'll be a response monster

go with -5s.

the GTSS are perfect on mine, rb30 bottom end = run out of puff.

like you.

Top end is for track cars and dyno queens

On the street the low and mid range is where it's at

Besides, I'd have no less top end than this RB26, which doesn't appear to be lacking

Just a much more linear and torquey low/mid; borderline naturally aspirated. Wouldn't please Grant.

Yes you can whack a huge turbo on an RB30, but to me that defeats the point of a displacement upgrade which usually done for a better low and mid range, especially when your enormous power exceed usability on the street - you end up sacrificing the extra response for power you never see touch the ground.

it will be a response monster that's for sure, but i'd prefer a little more up top

TBH I would be able to lap faster in my old 33 than al's, and they were running virtually the same power and suspension setup, only difference was that 0.5l

I bought a pair of gt-ss off a bloke who plonked them in his 2.8 originally. He took it out cos it ran out of puff around 5-6k from memory.

If 3.0, just get -5s, will be responsive enough.

Yeah but Al's was RWD running 265 KU36s

AWD and some 265 R1Rs will clap dem cheeks

Can always change down the track if it sucks - retune and turbo swap. The GT-SS are worth more than the Garretts.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      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!?!?
