Skyline r34 gtt (rb25det neo)

I just installed some tomei poncams type b 260 degrees 9.15mm lift and as stated by tomei no need to upgrade the valve springs.

i also installed the adj cam gears but only the exhaust side would fit, intake cam gear didnt match the intake camshaft. so i just used one old and one new

the timing is perfect and the knock is only on idle and coming from the exhaust side.

at first i thought it was the CAS but not too sure.

im running stock afm and injectors at the moment but will upgrade once the knock has gone and it hasnt been tuned yet but that shouldnt cause a knock.

any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

If its an r34 neo engine, it has solid lifters

This!!

They should be a drop in application, if you have done that and have the Ex gear set right it should be fine... Mine are sweet :)

Just for future reference, whilst they may "drop in", valve clearances should be checked and re-shimmed as required.

Yep, nissans clearances will be a better guide. and 'close enough' isn't good enough either keep in mind too much it'll slap the valve up and slam it on seat, too little and the valve wont get enough time on the seat to cool.

Actually the initial/final ramp rate has a lot to do with choosing clearances.

Having said that, going from Nissan's 0.2 - 0.25 sort of clearance to the 0.45 territory suggested by Tomei sounds like madness. You might add 0.05, not more than double.

Don't trust those stickers, as part of compliance there has to be a sticker mentioning timing, clearances etc. Well mine says BTC of 15degrees (RB25), which if you know RB26's actually run a BTC of 20 degrees.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
