Update on installation:

All going well till about 8pm last night when i snapped one of the damn clamp bolts into the head! there is a noticable size difference between the GTR and standard cams, so ill be interested to see how it goes.

Hopefully i can get this broken bolt out thismorn and find a replacement.

I have decided against adj cam gears as i beleive i will need bigger injectors after installing these cams and winding some boost in.

I will post "seat-of-the-pants" results later today, and hope to get a dyno run, either tomorrow or early next week.

I just wanna make sure of something b4 i purchase my cams...

Does/ or should i say Can this mod apply to ALL rb20's?

i'm just not aware of any apparent differences the red top head and the silver top have... if any at all.

Hopefully so.. it will go nicely with the gtr fuel pump and injectors i have ready to go with.

Thanks.

hows it all going bbenny? I am getting very toey now, can't wait. Got my S/S exhaust manifold the other day as well, so the puzzle is nearing completion

Microtech LT-12S then time to fit it all up, and add about 18-20psi boost :)

Hopefully SK reads this, he might have a better idea............

Well im need of urgent advice.

I have installed the cams and when i started the car it was fairly lumpy then the idle rmp drops and the engine dies out.

Now when i start the car, it just immediately dies out!

anyone got any ideas whats going on? Sydneykid?

thanks!

nope dont have a timing light, planned on taking it to the workshop in the morn.

i did refit the CAS in the marked area it was before.

should i try turning it lightly just to see if i can get it to stay awake to at least limp it to the workshop?

Hi BBENNY, I takes a while for the ECU to learn the new airflow requirements. An ECU reset might help as well. Does it run OK? If you open the throttle a little, does it keep running? Make any noises? Starts OK? No hydraulic tappet noises? Backfiring?

If that all checks out, take it for a drive. Any damage is already done anyway.

it runs fine when i give it some throttle, i havent driven it yet, but it wont hold idle no matter what position the CAS is at, it dies out pretty soon.

sometimes it starts, but most of the time it will turn over a few times then die out straight away.

there are no strange noises, infact it sounds pretty sexy with a bit of throttle :rant:

How do i reset the ECU?

any luck bbenny?

just curious, in a car fitted with a PFC if you reset the ecu, you loose the whole tune. So is it really necessary to reset it?

I understand it will probably need another tune for it to run efficiently but i thought it would be a in/out process. just a better flowing head.

yeah i think its more than just ECU, i noticed once the cams were installed that i could turn the ex cam very easily to adjust it to no1 TDC, however the in. cam was very stiff to turn in comparison, so just to double check i threw the standard cam back into position and if felt just as stiff...

i think my problem stems from the inlet cam being very difficult to turn over and that causing the engine to stall at idle.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
