While installing the exhaust one i didnt notice that the lobes where in the wrong position so the last one was under pressure and it snapped.... f**k me

Now im trying to see how to replace it. i cant seem the find the exhaust only poncam.

 

RB25 Neo, 260 dur poncam type B 9.15 mm lift.

 

All the ones im finding as a single cam are the procams, can i actually replace my broken poncam with a procam with the same duration and lift without issues? or is there something different? i keep reading the poncam is adjusted to stock timing etc but i dont see that on the procam so its kind of confusing.

Have bought JUN individually through RHD, was made to order so was like 1+ months till posted.

 

Also, I think generally procam have stronger ramp rates and tomei recommend retainers and upgraded springs. Poncam is supposedly drop in stock upgrades.

Poncams seems to be a set everywhere i look, procams tho are sold individually, but now that u mention the ramp rates etc... i dont know much about cams. 

If i get a procam 260, 9.15mm lift, what makes it different from say a poncam? ramp rate, i thought cams only had 2 variables, duration and lift.

Kelfords are out of my budget for now.

Seems my option would be to get an exhaust procam or just go with the intake camshaft only. Dont know what that would mean.

Designing cams is a world of its own, and the information on paper and specs you buy tell half the story.

One option I forgot is it's possible to get your cams doctored... Clive cams or crow cams might be able to make copies of your cam. I went to Clive cams for mine when the lobes were damaged but their machines couldn't do over 10mm lift

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.

      Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
