I had Type Bs in my 34 when I bought it and dialed them in best I could and still wasn't happy with what they did so swapped them out for Type Rs (only cause I couldn't find stock R34 cams for sale at the time) and made same peak power, +/-2-3kws, but came on +/-800rpm sooner

I know why this is but CBF writing it from my phone :(

I got type b for my 25det neo but haven't installed them yet, somebody told me to go the smaller cams for this reason but majority said the type b's were better, and tomei claim the type b make more peak power and better response than type a

Tomei will tell you what ever it takes to sell you a cam, other people it's the placebo effect of it makes 10kw more up and at idle it goes "wank wank wank" but what most people forget to tell you is it makes 20kw less thru the bottom

But with playing with lift and duration in many set ups, we've (me, Mic, piggaz and others) proved that on low mount turbos the bigger duration cams make everything worse

An easy way to look at it is to increase response people increase compression and larger duration cams reduce compression

As a side note I thought so much of my type b pon cams I gave them away

I am talkin on a 25 neo, where there is no 'type r' available. Stock cam is intake 236 8.4mm exhaust 232 6.9 mm and the type b is 260 9.15 intake and exhaust.

But do tomei measure from base lobe or from .050" lift?

Although I am going top mount forced performance 3076 it is still not a large turbo, perhaps I should go with type a with 252 degree and still 9.15mm lift, it is still a considerable amount larger than factory

The type b on the neo engines Is good.

Type b on rb26 not so good.

260 is the advertised duration. You can Google tomei cam cards and see the duratiom at 50 (around 222 from my crap memory)

Edited by Ben C34

Cams are cams and work on crank rotation angle, makes no mind what engine they are on

Go the 252s

The Tomei cam duration is takin from lobe contact on to lobe contact off given the correct clearences from bucket

Sort of. Perhaps it's the vct on the neo that makes up for the loss on the rb26.

Vct wins. Neo has vct. Neo wins!

Neo is a sales gimmick and not worth shit on a turbo, add lift to it and then maybe but I'm yet to see a neo match my 32 for power AND response on the same boost and my 32 still runs bush bearing stockers :/

I can not post pics for some reason, will see if I can get someone to post it for me

So much right in that statement.

Just because someone makes something and their marketing says you need it - does not mean you buy it.

For that size of turbo, which really isn't big, stock cams would still be a pretty damn good choice if you needed to spend money elsewhere like:

Brakes / Suspension / Diff / Clutch - starting point of total spend is around 8k.

And if you haven't spent money in those 4 areas - you should be before touching the cams because you'll actually get decent benefits of being able to stop better, actually drive around a corner with the added power and/or actually put said power to the ground. All are critically important, far more so than a few kw here/there on a graph.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
