rb25de neo cams on a rb25det s1 head


Recommended Posts

i have a rb25 na neo head with cams and i want to know if these will work on the s1 det head or if i should just go and buy det s1 cams. tia also if there's a thread already created with the solution a forward would be much appreciated. im also in search of wiring schematics for the fuse box as some of the wiring is pooched.

The base circle dimension would need to be identical on them for it to work. Beyond that, I don't even know if the cam journals are the same, if the attachment for the timing gears and VCT actuator are the same. The CAS drive is definitely different on the exhaust cam.

If the base circle dimension is not identical, then....lifters would be a problem. The Neo is shim over bucket solid, and the vanilla 25 is hydraulic. If you throw a cam with a different base circle onto a hydraulic lifter, you might take it out of its correct dimensional range and have it lock up or collapse.

I would just some Kelfords cams.

The R32 GTR/GTS4 wiring diagrams are here. I shall presume from your profile that we're talking about an R32, and not something that came with an Rb25.

ok gotcha probably the safer route to go that direction anyway. and the wiring that attaches to the main fuse box. if I'm able to find that here as well then that'd be awesome.

I'm in Canada as well and have RB25 S1 cams I can let go for 120$ if you need. PM me if ever you need them. Cheers.

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
