Gotta machine rb26 head to fit anything 10.2 mm lift or bigger.

Tomei drop the base circle of the cam shaft so that overall diameter of the camshaft including the lobe is with in the head. The diameter goes from 32 to 30mm, the solid lifters that they supply are larger so that it contacts the smaller shaft. This way you can get more lift without machining the head. Of course I am welcome to being corrected if there is anyone here with TOMEI procams with high lift..

Yorik - I know of a local car running exact same setup as me but with 10.8mm lift 260 Procams, not sure on power output, but these cams obviously need modification/machining of the head to accomodate...

Be interesting to see your results....

The car I'm talking about here is ph1's old car, sold to a guy in Melb, which had 346rwkws... But that was tuned around 3 years ago, Ben (Racepace) has learnt a lot more since then!!!!

Great work Jack :)

Missing the DECA weekend you could say was worth it indeed.

Heard rumours of some good numbers ;)

PS: thanks for actually getting evidence of what i was saying about shootout ;)

makes some figures debateable when people swear by em

Very nice power figure, i have seen a similar setup here is sydney with the T517's making 360 kw, simple setups are the best.

I am also keen on finding out about the cam timing as i already have a set of poncams installed but they are still set at 0. since the car is going back on the dyno soon it would be some handy info ;)

Wasent you drive upto WA last year meant to put all the WA dyno reading to rest??? bleh.gif

Nice work jack.

What speed were you hitting on the front straight at last sandown day???

So these brought the car on boost quicker did they(quicker spoo; time, less lag)?? Or did they just bring on power quicker while the car was on boost? Looking for cams to allow for boost to start earlier in the rev range, dont like lag much....

I haven't really checked exactly when I get full boost now, but it used to be around 5000rpm. But I did see full boost at about 4800rpm in the quick drive after the dyno tune, but it may be earlier, its a bit hard to look at the boost gauge, rev tacho and road at the same time when giving it stick in 2nd gear on the streets... Might have to check it out next time on the track where I can try in the higher gears....

Also Ben (Racepace) said they came on slightly earlier according to the old graph, which I'm still trying to find...

True, your car would have broken down after a few 100 km's. :D

Jack

Next time out at Sandown you should be in the low 1.20's coz u got the power, brakes, suspension and cheater tyres.

The car's definetly got the potential, its just the driver needs more experience!!!

Interloper - that was the point in showing the different modes, so in future when somebody puts up a dyno graph you can have a more accurate idea of what power it's really pushing...

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
