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

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
