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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
