Does your car run out of puff at 7g because of the Standard cams? Or are the -5's big enoug to give you power all the way to 8g.

No, it still pulls but I just dont seem to need to go much more before changing gears, with the -10s and cams it was ideal to gear down to 2nd gear at 100kph (has PPG gear set) and take it to around 8500rpm before hitting 3rd.

Now at 100kph it feels better to gear down to 3rd gear were it pulls hard and smooth, less work on engine.

^ missed earlier post... Stock cams, -5s... I went to 8,500rpm day in, day out too. Didn't nose over heavily.

My dyno reading only showed up to 7200rpm , I noticed a slight drop just after 7150rpm.

Got 8500rpm no problem, just pulls nice changing from 7

but was it still making power......more rev's don't show power. The only time you should need an over rev is if your gear ratio's are set up wrong for the track.

But you already knew that because your no simpleton aye!!!

anyone know what max lift is on stock 26 head?

With a reduced base circle, I had jun 264 9.7mm, fit in the stock head. This would be close to the maximum lift before relieving was required.

Anyone know of larger lift cams to fit stock head?

Sorry to hijack this thread.

I am in a similar situation with TS, and I was recommended the Type A cams instead of the Type R cams.

Anyone has any experience with the Type A cams.

I'll be running on 87mm custom pistons and conrod with HKS GTss turbos.

I am also looking for low-mid range performance as it is more suitable for my usage.

Thanks.

I've seen on my 34 the difference from going to type Rs from type Bs and it was a fair bit, same peak power but every thing happened 800 rpm sooner give or take

Type A's have a 256 degree exhaust IIRC.

Want low end? Type R's.

Make sure you post a graph !

I'll try to remember!!

I was looking at rhdjapan and I saw that they have a package for the poncams with adjustable cam pulleys.

funny thing is, the so-called special package is more expensive if I were to buy the cams and cams puley seperately. wonder why they calling it a special package ....

I am now using the oem cam pulleys. so should i be getting the adjustable cam pulleys too? what's the benefit other than the ease to adjust and the lighter weight?

Thanks

Sorry to hijack your thread, but I am in a very similar situation.

Has anyone had any experience or know of anyone who has used adjustable cam gears on aftermarket cams?

I am also looking at a cam change on my car but am in two minds about whether to have a shot at dialing in the existing Tomei cams (Type B) or just ditching them and going back to stock and dial those in instead.

The challenge I have is that the HKS2530's I am running are a bit laggy and, short of going -5's, I need to do something to bring my torque back down the rev range and bring boost on a little earlier.

I can see three options for me...

1) Keep Type B cams but install adjustable cam gears

2) Go Type R cams and adjustable cam gears

3) Go stock cams and adjustable cam gears

Thoughts?

I will post up a dyno graph of my existing set up tomorrow.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
