I just bought the stage 1 otomoto kit for my 2.8 'baby' stroker with -5's. I staying with 98 octane pump fuel so I'll need all the help I can get out of my 'street' setup.

I have a couple of neo vct units and a neo solenoid laying around from my 'poor mans' v cam idea, so they will be perfect for this kit.

I'll try to get some results/comparisons once I've fitted it. I'm running a PFC so I'll most likely go a jaycar style rpm switch controller to control the solenoid.

So this is the latest. Got sick of waiting for months for my replacement head to come back from a business I tasked with machining for bigger intake valves and port clean up, so I'll be leaving the old one on. It's already lightly ported and has aftermarket springs/retainers.

After 11 years of running GTR's and twin turbo's I'm going single heheh.

Also got a haltec plat ecu so that will control the vct solenoid.

I bit the bullet and went ahead with it:

Have to sort out my clutch before I can wind the boost up again

Man I want this.

I'm only going -9s so they'll be out of puff at 320-330rwkw anyway on 98, bu the extra response (on an already responsive turbo) and torque would be nice.

How did you go Sean?

So got it tuned with a t51R first= lag monster but was sorta driveable. Sounded awesome revving to 9k rpm...plus screamer heheh, 550WHP @20psi.

Then went back to -5's and got it tuned again. Wow midrange is great and pulls well from down low! (stroker helps there)

What I've found and Yavus at Unigroup already knew is that the 260deg intake cam supplied by otomoto is too big in duration.

I ended up switching off vct at 7000 rpm as that is where it starts to drop off. So (in theory) you could leave a 260 deg cam for example at 20 or so degress advanced on you adjustable cam gear and only nose over after 7000rpm lol!

Max I rev my setup to is 8-8500 rpm so you get 1000-1500 rpm of extra power for $3000...

They need to (otomoto) sell an intake cam that has a shorter duration of say 242-248 degrees to bring down the switch over point and move the whole graph to the left a bit more :)

More development necessary before I'm 100% happy with setup, but in the mean time, in short it's a beast heheh.

I'll post a graph up soon. Don't worry about HP as dyno is a tuning tool heheh. I'll have to take it down the strip to see what MPH it pulls :)

hello,

 

is it worth to use this VCAM kit on an rb26/30 with a EFR twin scroll turbo newest generation?

Yes

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
