Has anyone done before/after dyno with this exhaust cam gear yet?

Is an aftermarket ECU 'required' for these or is it only an 'advantage' ?

I'm looking for little things to get me up over 210rwkw on the Std ECU/Turbo and this looks like the next step.

Whats the typical cost to have these installed + tuned at a dyno shop ?

Edit: I was also liking the rice factor of the HKS Purple+Blue :P

Hi Guys, I bought a set of Jun adjustable cam gears on the forum a few weeks ago. They appear to be standard Nissan GTR pulleys with the centre machined out and replaced with a steel adjuster. If they are standard Nissan teeth they will obviously last as long as they would unmodified, provided the centre line of the adjuster is lined up properly during the machining process. They have 5 adjuster bolts which should provide more than sufficient retention.

UniqueAutosports sell modified standard pulleys for $185 each for the standard weight and $195 for the lightweight ones. So, as long as they have the same accuracy of centring there should be no problems with theirs either.

If you are not looking for looks (the HKS ones do look trick) or extreme lightweight, these are viable options.

Hope that helps.

I wouldn't bother loosing the VVT until over 250rwKW, and use the cam gears in conjunction with better cams.

Steve, Thanks for the link, what would the postage be? I have worked it out before, and the group buy idea is better as only one postage cost is needed.

GTS-t VSPEC,

The following table indicates the shipping costs to Zone 2, which includes Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada and any country in Europe. For other countries, please contact [email protected]

Base rate (up to 1 kg) ¥3990

For each 500g more than 1 kg ¥525

Works out at about $55AUD for the first kg (ouch), but $14.50 for every kg there after, which is a bit better.

when were you thinking of getting these? Soonish I hope. I'm after 1 (for now - maybe 2 later), and wouldn't mind jumping on the group buy bandwagon

Cheers

Steve

Steve,

Can you find out the weight of the cam gears, plus are there any additional taxes that need to be pay for goods coming into Australia?

I can buy them whenever, just trying to find somewhere which is cheaper than I can get them here.

Not too sure about taxes, have you had a chat to customs. From most of the feedback I have read, it seems that if it is under $1000AUD they dont seem to worry a heap - never know for sure though. I did get my turbo through, but the guy at the other end put it down as about $380AUD - they opened it for inspection, but didnt hit me any duty.

I will drop them a line, and ask about quantity for group discount and unit weight.

Steve

so on a car with a big turbo (like a HKS 3040) and the usual other mods like fuel pump, injectors, engine management (I have HKS FCONV, VPC and PFC-FCON), exhaust, intercooler. Would it be worth removing the VVT and getting a cam gear for both inlet and exhaust? It's an RB25DET, and what sort of cams should i go for? 256 Duration and 8.8mm lift? or bigger, to something like 264 duration and 9mm lift? What would the difference be between the two cams?

I'm liking the sound of the Toda gears myself! The top end power is pretty good so i'm more after some street usable mid-range at this stage. I've also read on the other CAM thread that you might be able to get the inlet cam slotted to allow adjustment and still keep the VVT.... is this true or not worth it?

Thanks

Andrew

GiJOR33,

With a setup like that, then yes I'd do both cam gears. Sounds like a similar setup to what I'm going for.

Cam's I'd go for the 264's, but the 256's are also very good.

Yes, it is possible to slot the existing gear, but the VVT doesn't have sufficient impact to make it worthwhile doing at big horsepower.

See'ya:burnout:

A guy at work machined out the centres of my steel gears and replaced them with adjustable alloy centres (which he made as well). They allow +/- 4 degrees adjustment and only cost me $17 for the materials and a slab for the labour.

Guys go to a machining company with a design and all your standard gears in bulk and it will cost you **** all to get them modify.

Why buy wanky brand name gear? It doesn't make your car go any faster and it costs a fortune.

Pawley, I think the UAS ones are made exactly the same way as Rowdyr32's are. That would mean they have like a $150 markup on them. Which I guess isn't over the top, but if you look around enough you can probably get it done cheaper (let's all ask Rowdyr32's mate if he wants to do some more for us ;))

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
