Rb30det Cams Question

Hey guys,

Just about finished building my second rb30det. My current setup I am using a rb25de head, I have a 26 head I am taking the valve springs out of today to swap into the 25 head so it doesnt valve float.

Just wanted to know would it be worth swapping the rb26 cams in as well?, or just retain the stock rb25 cams with the 26 springs?

What are peoples opions, its running aftermarket management obviously.

Cheers.

The rb26 cams are solid, their ramp rates are too aggressive for hydraulic lifters.

So no. :(

When using the stock plenum cams only gain a little mid range and spool the turbo a touch more. It doesn't extend the peak power rpm and they don't hold power up better. An after market plenum is what does this is it appears the stock plenum on the 3ltr restricts top rpm peak power and how well power holds after peak power is made.

I would have dropped the rb26 head on the sucker.. its not too late yet. :P

While your there, is it possible to measure the stock r32 rb25 valve spring installed height on both the inlet and exhaust?

k cool I wont bother then.

yeah I can measure them for you man. Its a r33 vct 25de head but not a 32. Yeah I would have used the 26 head but I am using it for something else anyway.

Cheers.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      Lifted R32? Jay (LowStandards) has you covered.

      I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
