Okay, ive searched and found different answers, and youtube video's shows different too

can someone with tomei cams the 256degree 8.5lift tell me what they are like, im talking idle and just general upto 3000rpm driving, is it a pig that idles crap??

so far i see they are good after 4000rpm , but i just need to know that the off boost low rev driving isnt really bad, cause thats where most of my driving is..

FYI, this will be for a gtx3076 , 18psi , external gate blah blah blah...

Yeah there pretty similar sound to stock maybe a tad bit more rough and sound abit more like a rb26 up higher revs more deeper note. They are fine to drive off boost it wont feel like a pig but yeah main gains will be through midrange and a little bit up top.

ah cool, thanks for that reply, i dont mind a tad rough idle, just wanted to make sure it would have mostly normal response off boost, my decision is almost made now,

do you think it needs cam gears as well , its says on website that is already pre dialled, should i buy cam gear as well ? and if so , just exhaust or intake too?

any advice is appreciated.

cheers

Well definately dont need intake camgear as your retaining vct, I put an exhuast cam gear on mine but my tuner found it made gains on the stock setting so didnt end up changing the position so I didnt end up needing it.

From what I have heard very little change to idle, very little loss of low down power but a lot more midrange and some more top end. Most results I have seen are around ~20rwkw peak power but more in the midrange.

How much does it cost to get someone to fit them?

sounds like a win win modification then, im keen to fit them myself , just have to find some DIY articles and maybe a gregories manual ,

cant be too much different to fitting a normal cam on an RB30?

There not that hard to install pretty easy providing your confortable with doing a timing belt you should have no problem. Just follow the workshop manual it has a pretty good step by step only thing I would recoment you do is rotate the crank a few degress backwards from TDC when removing and installing cams then align cam gears followed by crank also would be a good idea to upgrade the valve springs and replace valve seals if your changing cams.

thanks ill do that, dont really want to take the head off to do springs and seals though, sounds like a big job

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
