Thanx thats what I had thought from what I have been reading on here, will they be a bit laggier or much if a muchness if tuned right (assuming you may have done this at some time so might know), a bit new to TURBO cars so not so sure I suspect tuned right they may even help eliminate some lag due to better/more flow cylinder filling etc. Is that a possibility or have I missed the mark completely :P

They are not laggy at all. They reduce lag over the factory cams significantly and increase power everywhere.

I use the poncams on my daily driven setup, with a T04Z running 23 psi of boost and 1000cc squirters. the poncams are 260 dur and 9.15 mm lift. using tomei lifters and jun valvesprings. manley custom Gen II 0.5mm oversize valves and ratainers. when i didnt dail in my cams, the car was sluggish to come onto boost, but after expert advice by SK the cams were dailed in and i was actually amazed at how much it allowed me to push the ignition. the car came to full song 400rpm earlier and acually from a roling start it would light up all 4rs through the 1st, 2nd and it would chirp the 3rd. the cams made big big differance, the power increased to 467awkw. on the drag engine im building atm i will be eploying 1mm oversize valves, and jun 280 deg 11.35mm lift cams, to push the T51 SPL BB turbo. all the bits in the head will be jun exept the valves. for the street i dont recomend bigger then 260 on both in and ex.

Thanks mate that confirms what I had suspected, cams I ordered wont make it to me before the dyno time I have booked so will be able to post good before and after cam type dyno sheets for all to see.

Would have liked to put em straight in though with all the other bolt-ons and powerfc but just isnt going to happen. :glare:

why do people not reccomend 272/280 cams for the street? i have them and they dont cause any drivability issues at all so whats the downside besides maybe abit of lag, but plenty of top end power?

Fuel ecomomy

Emmissions, nasty

Noise, a legal 92 db with 248's is not going to be legal wiht 272's

Soft idle problem (and just up from idle) with air con, electrical and power steering loads

Plug fouling

Clutch wear, in fact the full drive train, as you have to use higher rpm to get up the torque curve

Extra capacity does overcome some of those, for example an RB20 is really weak with 272/280‘s but an RB30 with the same cams is strong at idle and just above. High (static) compression ratio also helps as the extra overlap lowers the (dynamic) compression ratio anyway.

:huh: cheers :laugh:

they do look like an interesting bolt on don't they and to run the cams surgested would make one nasty rb26 ;)

far out im diggin from the past but those tomei turbs are big, bigger than the T618Z's ive used in the past... even the T618Z's needed big big cams to work effectively... like 280 big and as far as lift goes they were big enough to require relieving the cam tunnels (common i know but still)

anyone used them? they are bigger than TD06's but low mounted.

Hi I'm looking at purchasing the JUN stage one camshaft kit from greenline.jp , (272/272 9.7mm lift) the kit says it includes valve springs, is this all that I need to fit the camshafts??

No retainers etc needed?

Cheers :P

does anyone know the standard r33 rb26dett cam lift and duration

cheers

from my R32 GTR manual

Intake:

valve opens 7deg BTDC, closes 53deg BBDC

Exhaust:

valve opens 63deg BBDC, closes 7deg BTDC

does that make sense?

lift is not stated, just clearances

Thats good I can work the rest out thanks but maybe the inlet closes 53deg ABDC ??? making it 240 duration against 236 for the exhaust dunno.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
