Forgive my ignorance but Lca?

Lobe Center Angle, so 11deg adv on in and 9 deg retard on exhaust, then tune, will change what you think about VCT :yes:

They are both stock cam motors, vct is only 5degrees advance on inlet right?

Im fairly certain its a 20deg change :/

Edit, Beatin to it again :(

or try taking your motor thats been dialed in, and doing power runs at a further 20 degree intake retard, or a 20 degree advance, and see if there are any areas where you can from the extra advance, this will show you the use for vct

We tried heap of different settings and where it is is the best overall, there was no point where any adv/retard would improve what it currently is :)

20 deg either way at any point would be a massive step back

i was fairly sure it was more around a 20 degree advance, and stock cams are in the best postition for stock aplication, emmitions, etc, not nessasarly power so there is gain to be had there

edit yeah was beaten twice there

but your results seem strange to me, when i get my dyno in a couple of months ill revisit this thread with some playing around on the dyno with cam adjustment angles in a few conditions

this is why RB26 owners (that have deep pockets) end up retrofitting VCT OR HKS V-CAM onto their heads..

It's not about overall power, it's about usable power...

I definitely prefer my turbo on full noise at 4000rpm instead of 4500rpm (making up numbers here).. but if you go through Hypergear's thread you will see similar turbos produce similar power levels on both RB25 & RB26 motors and the only difference is the lag.

Yes the RB26 is 0.1L different, but I would prefer VCT any day of the week.

mm yet if hes not gaining anything below 5k by advancing the cam further then its not any more laggy with vct off, (strange imo as theres normally a gain) yet if hes advanced it so its already at its best setting for say the 2-5k range, then it should get a gain by retarding it above this leve, why i think its strange as hes saying thers no gain anywhere by changing the cam timing from what hes set it to, and thats very very strange

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
