Hey guys.

Can I run 264 9.00mm lift hks cams 2202 RN175 with standard valve springs. Where could I get these cams in Australia?

That's a reasonably high duration, meaning you will be revving it.

In which case you will probably want better springs.

You can run an adjustable exhaust cam gear with stock cams, which will give you an improvement in mid range power. But as a mechanic id never fit cams without putting in heavy duty valve springs. It pretty much goes hand in hand. You want cams, you must fit valve springs. Yes the HKS cams are drop in meaning they'll be ok to use with your stock valvetrain/head (excluding valve springs) The stock springs wont cope with the duration/lift of the HKS cams.

I hope you don't want to put in cams just so you can have am adjustable intake gear.....

That would be an ultimate fail, as vct is way too good to lose, and the stock gear is adjustable anyway (on a neo that is, not sure on pre neo, adjustable from the back but easily modded to be adjustable from the front.)

Why do you want cams?

What do you use the car for?

i had hks cams before and i want to delete vct ro run 26 covers. I want the car to make around 550

DONT DELETE VCT.

Especially just to run 26 covers.

That's plain stupid.

People with rb26engines would kill for vct.

Yeah seems silly to get rid of it just to run different covers. You can make the 25 covers look good

Or you could probably get the 26 covers modified to have the hump for VCT put in them

The power will be alot nicer if you keep VCT

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
