current mods: rb25det

apexi fc computer/ z32 air flow meter

gt28 turbo (450hp)

600x300x75 cooler

upgraded fuel system

3 inch zorst/twin dump

pod

bov

and im now in the market for some cams, which ones should work best with my setup? i was reading a cams article in speed mag from a few months ago and the application guide says that the 270 intake and 270 exhaust have the best street stars followed by 260 intake and 260 exhaust and these are tomei cams, also will upgrading the cams give my idle a nice lumpy sound?

thanks

Patience mate, wait for a few of the regulars such as B-Man to see this and they will be able to provide some helpful info. Will assume you are referring to a GTS-T in your post since you didnt mention the car.

Tomei Poncams seem to be a popular choice

what specs are stock rb25det cams.And also what size is recomended to use with the rb25det.Poncams were first on my list of cams to choose from and then i saw others which offered longer duration and more lift but as i understand it to much lift is bad and can cause premature failure of valve stem springs and lead to worse things like a valve in the piston.

what is max lift for tha stock rb25det valvetrain?

also would you suggest using any cam gears when purchaseing a set like the poncams.

does exhaust overlap have a big part in performance with poncams like when using stock cams and adj gears?

heres a list of the tomei range for the rb25det

I am extremely interested in this topic and have read many times Sydneykid recommends the Tomei Poncams. I have also been advised, that the Tomei Poncams are only IN256/EX256 with 8.5mm Lift on both.

I'm not sure what sort of power figure you're after but these are not that big an improvement.

The alternative is the HKS Step 1's with IN256/EX264 with 8.8mm and 9.0mm Lift option, which also work with the VVT on the Series 1 and 2 GTS-t.

Can someone please comment on either of theses sets of cams?

Thanks Ken

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
