hangon, forgive my ingorance here, but how does one simply add VVT to an RB26 head? i've heard of the HKS VCON, (or whatever it is called) and the NEOs have VVT but not the 26 heads, or have i TOTALLY miussed something?

cheers

I did not see a How to on this =(

but what about the tuning part?

No, you would need to keep the 26 head or nothing would fit. Just retrofit the advance mechanism to the cam and make it work.

HKS have a kit to retrofit the VQ35 constantly variable gear to the front of the 26 cam, with tuning solutions. Otherwise the Haltech/link etc can be programmed if you have a good tuner.

RB25 VCT would be easier to retrofit, but a 'how to' is a while away. :P Unless you want to fit it yourself and take pics?

I dont have the facility to do it here. All of my tools is in California >_<

nor do i have the knowledge to do it >_< . not sure what to swipity swap n all that jazz.

RB25 NEO?

im noob to this >_<

serious question.. what do you think would yeild better response on a rb26 with -5s.

1) Carbon driveshaft

2) Upgrade -5s to gtx2860 wheel ??

Pretty much done everything else I could done as far as supporting mod. I could potentielly go with raw brokerage pte 6266 turbo kit but heck thats some massive work..

Carbon driveshaft won't do much for how the turbos will respond. You notice the throttle response improve a bit.

You want response, 6262 would be your pick, not a 6266.

I don't think so, I still think the correct cams dialed in properly with the right turbo-cam combo will give good enough results to not warrant the money for VCT, find away to add the lift and duration change aswell as timing and then that would be worth the $1K US their asking

Just my 2c

I think you mean 6k not 1k and thats just for step 1, step 2 and step pro need different pistons plus the step 2 and step pro kits are a bit more expensive to being with.

Cheap upgrade considering the gains and what is in the kit.

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.  
    • I'm shocked, you've owned a Skyline since 2006 and never joined SAU before now! 😮   Welcome, it's much quieter these days than it was in 2006, but lots of very knowledgeable ones lurk around here. I actually think in outage we've forgotten more about Skylines than anyone knows about them today... 😛
    • So it could give us some info. Such as we find out what number they started at, and we know how many of those blocks came before it.
