thinking about putting a set of adjustable cam gears on my r34 rb25det neo, just wondering if anyone has some tips they can share or run into any problems installing them? what to do about the variable cam timing on itake and exhaust? if anyone has done this with a neo engine pics would be great if you could post them up.

thanks.

R33 & R34's have variable intake timing only and yes you can get decent gains by adding an adjustable cam gear on the exhaust side.

Best time to do it is when you need to change cambelt and associated tensioners and do it all at once.

A decent mod for $200.

No point doing it for looks though as it will be behind the cover.

i was actually looking at putting the adjustable cam gears and gates timing belt on and modifing the greddy rb26 clear timing case to suit the rb25. but if the intake cam gear still has to have that ugly alloy cylinder on the end of it, it may be pointless doing the mods as i was only really interested in doing it for the looks.

Yes it will look good mate. I have heard mixed results in regards to performance by ajusting the exhaust cam gear but could not get a straight answer on this. Has anyone here completed this mod with noticable results?

but what about the ugly cylinder on the end of the intake side cam gear????

yes, but then i replied before. when u do the timing belt it is a no brainer on an R33. you should pick up around 5-15kw most of the way thru the rev range. roughly 4 degrees give or take depending on what you get on the dyno.

R34 neo engines seems to be no gain.

Walkoau, Pm'd SK from Stagea page with fitting adj. cam gear to NEO. VVT on inlet, can fit a.c.g. to ex. I have an R33 gear to put on my Stagea. SK has run his at -4deg so far. Great post in Stagea page showing how to fit (in DIY).

thanks for the info, so no need to fit a a.c.g to inlet side cam because of vvt, only worth doing on the exhaust.

I hope your correct I am up for my 100k service shortly. I will have one fitted and dyno tuned with my SAFC2 and post a back to back comparison. The charts I saw were putting out low power to start with then I saw an extra 15kw or so like you said. Im making 195rwkw already so hopefully this mod will push me over 200rwkw.

cheers

    • Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.
    • This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.
    • Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.
    • This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.
    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
