Hi All,

I done gone broke a camshaft on the weekend and I'm having a dickens of a time trying to find a new one.

The Cylinder head I've got is a R32 RB25DE head and I've broken the Exhaust cam.

I'm really after some information regarding what cams from what other RBs I can put in there and have it work essentially.

I found a nice table on the Tomei website about all the specifications of the cams in all the different RBs but I haven't been able to find any info on what cams will fit into what heads, are they all different? Are they all the same? Can you mix and match some and not others?

Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated! I don't really want to buy new aftermarket cams if I don't have to.

um the bulge on the front cam gear cover suggests to me you have VCT and therefore a head from a 33?!?

 

Yeah that’s just the cover, paint was nicer than the other one. 

It had 26 cam covers too ;)

I would look for an R33 DET cam and measure it before you buy. There should be heaps lying around from people who have installed poncams etc. There's one on ebay now for $50 but an intake unfortunately.

ahhhh, makes sense now ;)

I had an RB30 twin cam with the same head then as you have and ran a reground RB26 cam for a 32/33 head many years back, stock RB26 cams are relatively cheap...

I reckon I have mine lying around if you get desperate...

There's only .5mm increase in lift - can't see that being a problem.

I'd suggest the RB20DET cam - same Lobe Centre Angle (Pre-set Valve Timing), slightly more lift and slightly longer duration (might be a useful thing for the big-arse hairdryer there)

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
