Yes, Scali has retuned mine with bigger injectors. Has made more power but cannot be f**ked updating sig/leaderboard etc.

Back in your box.

i think i know.... but im trying to work out what do do cams wise.. regular normal 270~ or really big. but i wont be revving past 8500.

big lift 270's my friend for that rev range...wouldn't go any more deg than that.

Tomei 272 10.8's would be my pick or the JUN 272 11.35's. They are 29mm BC though and need the thicker buckets and id recommend titanium retainers as well.

Im doing a real nice head combo for a fella at the moment that would suit you well.

The JUN cams are the shit for nicely ported heads. Besides the initial set-up costs like Paul mentioned making it expensive they are worth using.

We settled for a little more lift after alot of flow bench R&D, but I was really happy with the 272/11.35.

I believe Charlie may have another set with springs and retainers Dave same as the ones I got from him??

Dave i believe we have a winner. :D

Paul may have different comment but from out my testing with a flow bench we found.

The tomei's outdid the JUN cams when the ports were only slightly opened and the exhaust hump was left in place.

On this same combination the testers opinion was drop in Tomei's would be better again.

With the ports done the way the machinist wanted and obviously the hump removed the JUN cams came back.

We then started with another head, oversized valves and appropriate porting to suit (port design can vary for larger valves)

The JUN cams were marginally better than the Tomei's. So much so that like I mentioned the expense of setting them up with buckets etc is worth while.

We cam doctored both inlet and exhaust cams from both brands, so the actual profiles could be seen easily. I have the results on my laptop which I can post up latter.

Like paul said they are a 29mm base circle so you need to either use a thicker shim or preferably proper buckets.

Head also obviously needs to be relieved and we made up new spring seats to set tension and provide and stronger seat.

We never actually made any real world comparisions as the engine was built with the best tested components and in the end neither the JUN or Tomei's were used we made our own from the testing we did with the others.

Another cam worth looking at is the Apexi Vmax 272/11.3 Again they are a 29mm base circle but I have had these in an engine and they were a really good thing. I still have them here, think they also came from Charlie originally.

Nah that pretty much sums up what we found also...for example on our stage 2 heads we use Tomei and on our stage 3 big $$ heads we use JUN. We couldn't believe how well the big JUN items woke the engine up and actually had it making more power earlier with the big port head. This is something that totally goes against the theory of what should be occurring, but boosted engines do funny things that are actually the opposite of what you would find it if was an NA.

JUN recommend running a thicker shim but this is something i strongly disagree with, the Tomei buckets are definately the way to go, as the shim should be kept around or under 3mm thickness to be safe.

But sometimes people who we do them for have their own ideas and we will advise them but at the end of the day its their money and they can spend it the way they choose to.

Risking why do we freely give away info that both you and i know cost us 1000's to discover? :down:

We are either very generous or mad!

hahahah yeah you beat me to it, i rang him up and he was "i sold them yesterday.. lol

yeah sweet. already got the buckets. (for labour incured but not paid for....)

yeah. thats the conflicting thing. bigger duration giving more bottom end than a smaller duration...

the head has alll the runners smothed out on the short radius and the bowl has been smothed and the exhaust port has the hump removed aswell as the hump above the guide, would be nice to raise the port but i dont have the time or skill and a suitable welder..

also the squish pads have been removed on both inlet and exhaust. (smothed into the chamber not completly removed)

using standard valves.

my turbo will be "on song" around 5k (35pound) and will be reved to 8500. (want to save the oil pump)

I know what your saying there Paul..

I have lost count of the R&D dollars I've spent. (shudder to think actually). Lattely we've pushed engines to breaking point on the engine dyno just to try something different. Had mixed results but learning what will and wont work along the way.

We keep squish bands on all heads, They are slightly revised in shape but always remain.

Again alot of flow bench testing and gradual shaping of the bands gave us the best possible results from the cams we used.

Some like to remove them on big boost engines but each to their own I guess.

Are you going to retain the standard valves??

We keep the quench areas on the stage 2's but on the stage 3's we remove one side (wont give away which side on here ive said enough) but this is suited to big boost big horsepower set-up's only i.e. drag engines or dyno queens.

too bad their springs are shit

too bad their springs are shit

ive seen them go over 10500rpm constantly and never had a problem with them. I personally have ran them over 9500rpm nearly everytime i start my race engine and they free length and compession tested like new items on strip down.

something a bit more enlightening than saying something is shit would be appreciated.

maybe sometimes items are only as good as the way they are set-up/assembled

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
