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.

      So it should work in my case?  I does not say R34 but it say push(i have push gearbox/clutch right now) No i wont...and i do not drift/race or do anything crazy with car so even a small box should be ok for a couple of months

      Ha ha, yeah, I've had one following me around in my parts boxes since about 2007 I believe. Just a little iddy bit hole drilled in the one I have to let it vent out once pressure was removed from the engine side. Still no idea what I'd put it on, ha ha.

      Anybody affected by the M1 minefield this morning?

      Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...

      Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.
