Hi guys

I need your help. I'm in the middle of my build and wanting to know if anyone has used Tomei procam 270 with 10.8mm lift in/ex on their rb26/30 build?

It's the full mac daddy build and going into my pro drift car.

Bottom end is JE pistons 8.2:1, nitto I beam rods, Ross balancer, tomei pump etc etc.

I need to know if these cams will be beneficial for drifting where I am chasing mid to top end power (on off throttle a lot) also need to know if they mite be to laggy?

I think you can also get 260duration cams with the same lift?.any better??

Thanks in advance!

Will take a while to fill those cylinders - why did you go for such low compression?

Re the cams - have a read though the "what cams would you choose" thread below.

I think you might know Joe Kyle? He said to stay with that standard compression ratio. I wanted more but he talked me down ? lol

I would've thought too big. For a drift car you want instant snappy power. With such low comp and big sticks I think you'll struggle to achieve that unless you've got a small super responsive turbo which then defeats the purpose of the big cams cause you're not going to achieve massive top end anyway! With that comp you will be able to push big boost into it but that will only make it a slug until it hits boost then you'll have a huge top end which wouldn't suit drifting.

I would think Poncams would be a lot more suited if you even bother with cams at all.

If it's not too late I'd bump comp up to 9.5:1 and get a mid sized turbo (presume single?) so you've got an engine that makes power straight away then a turbo that comes in not too soon after.

What power are you chasing?

Rb30et is 7.8 to1.

OK just looked up the RB30 PDF and that says RB30E is 8.2:1 and the RB30ET 7.1:1 (although the exact figure would depend on what twin cam head you were using) but whatever that's going back a few years - today you would want better than 9:1 or even more if using E85

ok I've got some 260 10.25 inlet and 270 10.8mm ex, talked to a few tuners who suggested that duration. Also Ive got JE pistons so i think they only come in 8.2:1 or 9.1? Too late anyhow they've been ordered :wacko: Will post results when all together :bunny:

Too late then!

The lower comp should give you a huge top end when you chase it later on (with big boost) I just hope it does the job for you in the meantime.

Maybe you can just hold it at 6000 rpm minimum with some mad anti lag system and it'll be perfect!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
