Yeah cheers guys.. One opinion I've been given is 24psi.. But I don't see how that could be the case as long as the spring tension etc is right and you aren't revving it stupidly high you shouldn't get any valve float (which seems to be the issue with these heads throwing shims),

Also I could probably find it somewhere but does anyone know what the biggest cams you can go without losing the vct

Poncams but why are you doing cams anyway? Usually a lot of other priorities for the dollar.

Hey guys I have gone ahead with this neo30 build. Instead of starting a new thread I'll just ask in this one.

Have just setup the timing belt with one idler and a tensioner (one above water pump). All the marks line up pretty well. Is it worth while getting an Adjustable cam-gear for the exhaust side?

I'll be keeping VCT so guessing I dont need anything for inlet side

(Standard cams to start with)

Cheers

Ian

I have a spare VCT ring (good for dialing in cams on 30's) for the intake side if you would like to purchase. Apparently they have about 4 deg of movement.

If it was me id do 260 type b poncams/ neo head/Precision 6466 T4 /e85, comp in the low 9's

the only trans that won't explode would be a glide or a Th400.

thats a combo id sell to a customer wanting the best of both worlds

Id prefer a neo head over a 26 head as it would come up quicker on a torque converter due to inlet manifold design

and i bet it would make more power under the curve making it a better street proposition

its a better street deal all round

Need to run into the 8s to even start to justify a 26 head

cheers

I've already got the 35/40 from my sohc setup (it's a VL) and a re401a auto. I Got the manifold with a heap of parts and it has t3 flange so later I'll upgrade the turbo and manifold or just get flange changed. I plan on putting some type b poncams in it but would just like to see the difference from std cams.

Close to 9:1 comp

Arp main and head studs

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
