pHAT r32: WHO CARES WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE LOL :(

heres what u have to look foward to once they are set up:

after fitting the cams and doing a base run at zero zero cam setting I spent about 3 hours tuning the gears alone and achieved 20kw at the top end, 12% more torque over the entire rev range (thing about that for a sec) and spooled the turboes up 500rpm earlier> try 14PSI at 3400rpm...not bad for 3 hours dyno time and a few burnt fingers :)

Well worth while getting them set up rather than just looking at them. My settings finished on 4 degree retarded on the exh and 2 degree adv on the inlet. The main point here is the lobe center angle has been increased by 6 degrees thus increasing cylinder filling efficiency.

Mike

may i ask which cams you were using cheers

:P

Tomei 9.15mm 260 duration...a very nice cam for a std GTR...Also just a note..upon setting up the head during my recent rebuild I watched the machinest setup cam lift and spring clearences etc ...worth noting is that the 9.15mm lift is the biggest that you can go comfortably with the std GTR springs due to coil binding problems. Anything over about 9.8mm and the coils become bound up...not good. I fitted slightly heavier, around 10 lbs when fitted, springs with less coils so I can fit a larger lift cam later on if I need to.

How much does a set of Tomei Poncams for an R33 cost? And at what stage of modification do you suggest you get them (Do they provide much benefit on stockers, or after exhaust and pod, or after major engine mods etc) or can you get good gains anytime?

Hey guys, reviving the dead thread :P

Whats the driving/performance differences between the Tomei Type A and Type B cams?

Type A 260IN / 252EX

Type B 260IN / 260EX

Does running the higher exhaust duration ( type B ) effect low down tourqe?

I'm just trying to decide which set to get.

I'm after a nice smooth tourqe curve (street car)

Thanks

i'm pretty sure it's the other way around mate. type a is 252 degree INLET. this is because of the theory that you can 'over cam' the inlet on an RB26 and a mild inlet cam matched with a slightly wilder exhaust cam is a good match for a street car. can't say i've tried it in practice though.

sorry beerbaron but the cam duration mentioned are right

http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/_2003web-catalogu...r_engindex.html

and i believe the opposite that rb26 are normally over cammed on the exhaust not the inlet as the manufactures spec cams and some aftermarket cams combo like this combo we are looking at ,run a longer inlet than exhaust for street use. To give the best combination of power and responce.

But all that said and done the 260/260 9.15mm poncams are a awesome bolt in combo and i believe the best bolt ins on the market.

Currently i'm looking at running some procams with high lift profiles and different duration combination to see how much can be extracted from my GT2560Rs turbos last dyno sheet was 529.4rwhp(397rwkw) on the poncams and i know that TWO.06l is running poncams at 442kw on HKS 2530s (but serious boost and c16)and 10.38 1/4 mile (thats a seriously fast low mount combo)

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
