Curious cam timing.

Long time reader.... first time pulling one apart.  

 

I am giving the GTR a birthday with new timing belt (and braces).  I was told car had HKS 264 cams and under the covers there are cams stamped with "HKS" but no other markings ("RB2" is cast into the blanks).  Curiously, the inlet cam (greddy cam sprockets) is set to 10deg advanced and exhaust is set straight up.  As I dont have a long nose dial indicator to hand and I am lazy, is it conceivable that someone (who knows what they are doing) would end up with these settings on a dyno?  I was thinking of returning them to typical +4/-2.  Car has R34 N1 turbos that I want to run about 20psi.

 

Thanks Lincoln.

Quite possibly someone did know what they were doing.

If you're feeling lazy, find the cash to pay someone with the dial indicator gear to investigate.  Determine what the cams actually are, and decide whether you want/need to adjust from where they are.

well generally adjustable cam gear settings play with the powerband of an engine.

when i played around with my rb20 i advanced intake and retarded exhaust, done in incremental adjustments with full boost test runs to find the sweet spot, i found i would hit full boost earlier in the rpm range, however i figure i was robbing top end power

Note: make sure you at least have a wideband sensor or is run on a dyno for such adjustments so u don't lean out and blow your engine

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
