Hey Guys,

I am rebuilding my BNR32 RB26 motor. I am doing a ground up rebuild from crank up. I am going fully forged pistons with billet conrods etc etc, im not taking any shorcuts but what i need help with is the camshaft. I would like to get a slightly lumpy note can someone give me an idea of which one to get with a reasonably stock head. I have heard the Tomei Poncam 260 degree with 9.15 lift is the way to go as they are a drop in fit? and allow enough room for valve clearance etc.

I truly have no idea about the cams so any feedback is appreciated. I do not want to spend a fortune on cams as i have spent ALOT of money already. Will i need to buy new lifters and springs also?

Thanks!

Hi GODZIRA83,

I assume you mean forged conrods rather than billet?

I recently threw some Poncam Type-Bs into my freshly rebuilt RB26 (rings + bearings) and was happy with the result in power. When tuning from the old cams we took out a bit of fuel under 4500rpm, but obviously added more above 4500. We shifted the intake cam gear a bit, but I can't remember where it ended up.
The cams didn't affect the idle too much, they sounded nice, but not tough.
So we played with the idle ignition map in the Haltech Platinum Pro to get a nicer idle. Basically we pulled out timing at 1000rpm and added timing at 900rpm, so the car sounds a little tougher than it really is. PLUS, I have a strong background with ported rotaries and love the brap ;)

The end of this dyno vid will show what I mean with the ignition timing.

Mark :)

Hi Mark,

Thanks heaps for your info...(Your Godzilla looks exactly like mine used to with the 34 wheels! :P Sounds good! Well from the verdit i get it looks like Type B poncams are the way to go. Im not too sure the difference of the type a and b but im guessing just the lift or degree?, B would be the more aggresive cam?

And yes forged conrods. I want a lumpy note like you have as too serious a note will attract too much unwanted attention.

Was yours a full rebuild? We have just installed the shelves and brand new crank it spins very freely very nice....we have another debate on which oil pump to install. I have spent a fortune already so i am deciding to go with an N1....instead of standard. Nitto oil pump are far too expensive. Im sure the N1 will do....

Once again thanks for your reply feel free to message whenever you like.

Kind regards,

Mischa

+1 for tomei type B's. Drop right in and give it a hell of a note. I know of 3 GTR's in Canberra (not including mine) that run them and we all love the note. Add a good quality exhaust and they really come alive.

If i had a video i would post it up for you mate. I did a full ground up rebuild on everything running a full nitto bottom end including the oil pump. I would go either Nitto, N1 or tomei for the oil pump.

I would recomend getting a full custom zaust made as you can get them sounding amazing.

Heya Mischa,

The only difference in the Tomei Type-A and -B is exhaust duration (A=252deg, B=260deg)

Don't forget when you drop in the new cams, you'll need to reshim the head, they're not a COMPLETE drop in like some people think!

I refreshed my engine with rings and bearings only. Didn't even require a bore, just a quick hone and she's making 340rwkw ;)

The whole build with all new gaskets, Tomei cams, shims, ACL Race bearings etc was <$3k

There's heaps of info on oil pumps. In my opinion, unless you're going for a Tomei, the factory pump with a billet gear (RENIK or similar) is as good as you're going to get for a factory'ish setup.

Extra oil volume will do nothing unless you're spinning the engine at high revs and have built your engine 'loose'.

But that's my opinion, do your own research :)

If you're running Garrett turbos and OE turbo manifolds, hit them with a die grinder and match port the suckers, there's a bit of material that can be ground away ;)

Drop me a line if you want to chat engine building etc

If you want some good cams, call UNIGROUP engineering and get some of theirs..

You will make more power with better response than with a type B

They even just brought out a set that will give you that "lumpy note"

I'm running the 260 versions on a 2.8, -5's and E85. The lift is 10.85 mm with a much more aggressive ramp rate than a typical "jap cam".

Yeah, the Unigroup cams. You also use the standard buckets, you will need to relieve the head for the lobe and you will need a decent valve spring. Camtech do a spring and Titanium retainer package which is very reasonably priced and will do the job.

The cams are a little pricey BUT you don't have the expense of buying different buckets like you would if you were to run say a Tomei Procam, so it pretty much works out same same.

I do own a 33 GTR.

Fuel system is 2000 cc Injectors, 2 x 044 feed, one 044 lift, 5 litre surge tank.

As for the Poncam's, I believe the 250 "Type R" would be a better cam than the 260. Same lift, less overlap. PM XKALABA about his thoughts of the 250 vs 260. He ripped his 260's out.

260s if all you want is a tough lumpy note, 250s if you want response and drive

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
