Dave/lukevl, As you can see, even with the stock cams it wasn't falling off as much as I would have expected. I kept the stock cams in so long just to see what power we could get out of them. They seem to have done very well.

WOW.......What car is that on?

The cams are a good choice. I don't see anything wrong with them although I would use more lift. But with more lift you will need to machine the head. I have 9.9 mm of lift on STD base circle and the head needs machining to fit the lobes in

Paul - Do you have the @ 0.050" figures?

Sorry lukevl, your speaking to a cams dunce, but I can get ND4SPD to check the figures as he'll be putting them in.

These are NVCS cams, and as such haven't been able to find anything with higher lift, due in part to the hydraulic lifters.

Because they use hydraulics the lift isn't as aggressive as you get with solid lifters, but there the biggest I could find. 270duration  8.9mm lift. Shouldn't require any machining, and we're just putting a set of performance valve springs in to cope with high revs, 8.5k:D

What valve springs have you chosen?

Is that 8.5k spent on the engine?

i think in the case of the tomei poncams, sydneykid said that cam gears aren't necessary because tomei got the timing spot on. In the case of having normal cams in the rb25, cam gears in the series 1 rb25dets alot of ppl have seen nice improvements.

Great thread guys.

I just need to clear something up here, I have used the Tomei 256/260 Poncams in 2 X RB25's, one Neo in an R34GTT and one non Neo in an R33 GTST. Neither of them benefitted from having an adjustable exhaust camshaft pulley, they both made their best average power at zero degrees adjustment. The Poncams work very well with the VVT, I kept it, so no adjustable inlet camshaft pulley.

This has not been my experience with GTR's, they ALWAYS benefit from adjustable inlet and exhaust camshaft pulleys. The more extensive the mods, the more they benefit and no two engines are the same.

Hope that clarifies:cheers:

The 8.5k, is 8500rpm. There performance valve springs that we've ordered, to cope with the higher lift and high rpm, will find out off SST-Steve which manufacturer there from.

I have an adjustable exhaust cam gear, with the stock cams we found zero to be the best, will see what the apexi cams dial in at best.

what sort of cams would be good on an RB30DET using an RB25DET head with NO!! VCT.. its been welded up.

I take it that with the hydraulic lifters i'm limited to ~8.5mm lift.

I am worried if i get a set of Tomei poncams they wont be 'ideal' for me as they are designed to work WITH VCT... but i dont/wont be running that...

anyone shed some light for me?

:D

I've been looking at cams for a similar application. You're right in that we're limited for lift since they're for hydraulic lifters. I think we're down to HKS 256/256 or 256/264 at 8.8mm lift, or Apexi 250/250 or 250/260 or 260/260 at 8.9mm lift. I'm leaning towards Apexi 8.9mm of some duration for similar reasons as vspec - the lift. We won't need as high duration cams as vspec because we won't be reving anywhere near 8.5k. :D

I have found the Tomies to be superior to both of those brands in RB25DET's.:cheers

On the lift side of things the HKS cams for the RB25det do go as high as 9mm of lift @ 264deg duration, at least on the exhaust side. I put one of these in the old R33 gtst.

And did you have valve spring issues.Or was it fine and dandy??

What is the cost of valve springs and whats it like to install a set while the cams are out.Does it interfere with the valves when trying to install valve springs?

:flower:

Yeah but SK he was talking about an RB30/31DET

what are your thoughts on cams for an RB30/31DET with NO VCT?

No spring issues. My engine was set to develop a nice fat power band up to 7500rpm. I had only the aftermarket exhaust cam and a factory spec inlet cam.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
