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

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
