Hey all

Just wanted to ask the question here as i know if i ask it on the main board i will get flamed. Just need help as not the most mechanically minded.

I just got my car back from Boostworxs with a new tune. Happy with it, response is better and 4000+rpm is awesome.

But the tune is conservative, which i asked for being my daily drive. Shaun said if i wanted over 350+kws on the same conservative tune a set of cams would do it.

What cams for an RB26 are a straight drop in? Like nothing else needs to be modified?

I dont want to buy a set and relise i have to change other things as well.

And whats the differance between all the Poncams that drop in? More lift = what? The bigger = ??

Want them for a bit more power and bit better response. A little lumpy idle might be nice to! lol

Reading this page http://www.tomei-p.c.../efr_index.html

Type B seems the way to go 260 and 260 but reading down further is confusing me. What is the mid low hi in type mean?

Yer he said he will email me later today.

If its a streeter my guess is you'll be wanting poncam type B's (i see you already have adjustable cam gears)... You wont need to change springs for them. I believe the difference is the Type A is a lumpier cam which will get you more power than the B's but the B's have smoother delivery.. I could be wrong though

-D

Edit - Actually I got that completely wrong. Type A is meant for stock/N1 turbos and Type B is meant for larger turbos - and since you have the -5's, probably both of them would suit - info direct from Tomei - http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/_2003web-catalogue/e070_cam_RB26.html

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
