i have an rb25det neo with a hks28/35kai. Its now time to upgrade the cams. i have been looking ansd some tomei poncams, but im not sure which ones i will need. Im hopefully after 300rwkw, its a street car but hopefully in the future ill do some track work.

Anyways there is 2 differnt types of cams. Not sure if i need type a or b? cheers

About types for NEOstaight6:

- Type A:

In order to get stable idle and raise low-mid RPM torque, we set the duration of EX camshaft shorter.

Best suit used with stock turbine or N1 turbine.

- Type B:

By giving longer duration timing than type a, it eables to raise both response and peak power at the same time, even with mid-large sized turbine.

SPECIFICATIONS:

- R33,WGNC34 Zenki/Chuki,C34:

-- Duration (degree):

--- Intake: 256°

--- Exhaust: 256°

-- Max Cam Lift(mm):

--- Intake: 8.50

--- Exhaust: 8.50

- R34,WGNC34 Kouki - Type A:

-- Duration (degree):

--- Intake: 252°

--- Exhaust: 252°

-- Max Cam Lift(mm):

--- Intake: 9.15

--- Exhaust: 9.15

- R34,WGNC34 Kouki - Type B:

-- Duration (degree):

--- Intake: 260°

--- Exhaust: 260°

-- Max Cam Lift(mm):

--- Intake: 9.15

--- Exhaust: 9.15

poncams will net you an extra 10-15rwkw from a ~300rwkw setup... e85 will net you an extra 30-40rwkw

fwiw.... bombtrack and i have the same setup, his with poncams mine without

my car maks 285rwkw and his 297rwkw on 98 octane

he is getting his car retuned in a week or so at my tuner, so i'll post more accurate results then, also e85 results

fwiw i make 323rwkw on e85

I'm more interested in the differences at mid range and low down torque...

My motor is stock with a turbo and supporting mods capable to take it to 300rwkw or so... so i don't want to push out any more top end, just looking at response i guess?

Type B is my pick.

There seem to be no losses down low with a fatter mid range.

Are they worth it? Probably cheaper to upgrade the turbo to a GT3076 if 300rwkw is important.

If response is more important then stick with the HKS 2835 Kai.

Asking about cams will always get a mixed bag of responses from SAU.

My experience is that the car is better thing with them than without BUT there are plenty of people with experience here that say they are often a step back on a track (particularly with respect to GTR's). So allow for the price of cams, the install (checking valve clearances, possibly shims) and dyno time. Ultimately it's your call but if you have the money I think it will be a step forward (at a price).

exactly...

cams are already in their efficiency range (or close to) at the start of a dyno run in 4th, so the numbers don't always accurately represent what they will feel like on the street/track

i'm 50/50 on whether it's worth it on a 300rwkw build

also fwiw, e85 will give you more mid range anyway :)

here's my car, same dyno, same tune, same day.. different fuels

yea e85 is out of the question cant get it where i am. mainly just curious about the differnces with the cams... eg - would i lose to much down low with the type b cams, or would the type a do not much at all etc.... anyone used type a or b??

e85 seems wonderful. i might drop in town and see when there getting it lol

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?

      Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
