Just after opinions on a 25/30 using a neo head vs a 26/30 setup. I'm aware of the smaller combustion chambers on the neo head needing different pistons etc.

It's going into a VL so either way I need to change a lot of things. I have got a neo head on the way... But wondering if I should go to a 26/30. Chasing around 450-500hp for now on 98ron, and run into the 9s eventually.

Don't want to build a 30neo and later down the track regret not using a 26 head.

So just wondering, which is the better choice. Sorry if its been covered before.

Cheers

Can you run the 26 style under buckets in a NEO head?

one was a stock head stock cams and the other was poncams type b's but stock everything else.

and no the buckets are different sizes, the 26 head was made with sustained rpm in mind

So that is a no to running 26 cams in a neo head? I'm finding it hard to get upgrade options on neo cams, other than tomei poncams. And with the VCT, isn't there a limit on the lift/duration they could possibly run?

What sort of cam are you looking for?

Surely you don't want huge duration and lose vct?

I would have thought the type b tomei cams are sweet for most people.

Well I wanted to sacrifice a little low end power for wank factor of overlapping on idle. My mate has the HKS step 2's on his gtr (272's, 10.5 or something) and the idle is just magnificent and lumpy.

It's hard to choose between right cams for the turbo/engine, or the sound of a lumpy idle. I understand I will get a new hole torn for saying it, but IMO a nice idle makes a car have more presence. Obviously if it makes low rpm a pig, I would rather go for drive ability.

I really struggle with that logic.

If it idles shit of course it will be a pig down low . That's why it idles bad.

That has to be the silliest reason to get cams.

If all you want is a wanky idle do it with tuning. Run it lean.

Obviously I want cams to make the most of what the engine has to offer, but I thought if I could get a lumpy idle it would be nice as well.

I am not familiar with tuning, and I wasn't aware leaning it out would cause a lumpy idle.

I worded what I wanted to say really poorly in the previous post. I am still trying to learn, sorry if I sound like a tool.

I have 250 poncams in a 26/30 and it has quite a nice tough lumpiness to the idle but low end power is just awesome and it drive hard from about 2200rpm, below that and the gearbox starts to labour

IMO the right cams and turbo configuration setup right and the 26 head wins, that said the worlds fastest toughest RBs run 25 neo heads yeah!! Oh wait no they don't :P

XKLABA have you got any videos of your car? Have been keeping an eye on what you post and now it's running i want to see it!

I would also like a slightly angry/lumpy idle but i don't think standard neo cams are going to give me that haha. Are you really able to tune it for a lumpy idle and have no engine health side effects?

Josh, are you in Sydney? Ifso I'm going to try and get out to the next Texi for a looksee and will be taking the 34 out come down and I'll take you fora run :)

My car wasn't tuned to be lumpy it just happened that way :/ , but yeah you can quite safely tune for a lumpy idle, cam timing can also make it lumpy, when I first bought the car it was setup with 260 poncams and was lumpier the a bridge port 13b I pulled up next to :( not my thing would rather a nice calm idle

In Newcastle but will come down to the next texi for a squizz. When/where is it?

I still don't think that the standard 236/232 NEO cams will get anything close haha!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
