Big boy cams hey ?

hey ben, yeah i blacked out. full supertech valve train double spring 182-C Camshaft Set - Nissan RB26DETT - Kelford Cams i dont think i need to grind the casting for these cams but forsure reshim obviously. i was thinking about what you said no point in going for a mild cam mise well stay stock cam at that point, or go the whole nine yards. so i said fak it and just did it man. the cams i got are the ones i posted 272/272 10mm lift. i did this all not so much as to make my head rev all crazy and make crazy power, but more as a refreshment and a increase in seat pressure for my boost. the kit was a great price and seemed like a no brainer. 1400canadain.  hks camshafts in bin. just kidding will try to sell them. i am just a stupid canadian but i feel like my engine will be a good setup in the end for a descent budget. cheers mate thanks again glad you pushed me to kelford great service too they were nice to me.

No, you absolutely will need to machine / grind out the area where the lobes are in the head. Not a big deal really, but they will hit without modification. My Camtechs we trial fitted in the white 32 hit with 9.7mm of lift, and they stated their max drop in was 9.5mm.

You'll see what I mean when you try and rotate them when they're bolted in. Kelfords themselves even say only their L182 version cams at 8.7mm are the only bolt in, no modification.

Good stuff still 👍

1.3 head restrictor

Feel free to ignore, but I personally would go smaller if your motor will be sat high in the RPM all the time.

I was running a N1 pump, with Spool billet gears on my RB25 NEO and it would fill the cam covers, spit out into the catch can and also drain the 6.5Ln ASR baffled sump around high G corners at the track.

Killed my motor after 2x track days.

Agree with Dose pipe 100%. I used to run a 1.5mm Tomei on the first busted 2.8 but changed to a Nitto 1.1mm on current block. I think Nitto goes even smaller to 0.9mm now ?

Was weighing out my rods this morning at the shop and found something that raised my attention....I am wpc treating the rods so I don’t think it’s a huge deal. But I’m a newb so to the knowledgeable mates wouldn’t mind your 2 or 3 cents, even 4 cents if I’m lucky haha, Cheers. I’m either binning the whole set of rods or running the ones I got not messing around with ordering a single.  The last photo is what all the other rods look like on both sides. Fakin pissed about this but may be no issue.

Get that rod crack tested !

If that's a crack your stuffed if its a fault in the forging/casting of the rod, it may be ok . . . . .

However if the rods faulty in any way it will lunch your engine !

You've gotta ask yourself are you feeling lucky ?

Cause I don't remember if you've got 5 or 6 good rods or six . . . . 

So are you felling lucky ?

its definitely not a crack but more or less a scuff on the outside as if you were removing a bit of material to balance them. i know weakness in surface of any metal is like a crack in a window keeps getting worse then fails. but it seems to be a very small surface scuff and i think the wpc treatment will take care of it. research the wpc treatment if you are unfamiliar. the discolouring line from the small scuff is from wat ever scuffed the rod its not a crack just may look like that in picture. i think it just lightly touched something when being packaged.

real st performance in Florida took the entire kit back and sent me back a kit with way better rods and cp pistons with a 9.0.1 compression at no charge so worked out in the end. there legit and always help there customers so that was nice.

Well we finally got a bay open and started tearing out the motor and transmission for the single build. Lots of prp goodies soon to be posted. Gunna run the stock motor this year at 22 psi then throw in the built long block we are building right now at machine shop. and then full send mates. Dead broke loving every minute of it.

non of this would be possible without help from my old time friend rashid. he is a 20 year fabricator, engine builder, tuner, and project manager ofcar trasnformation like mine. nice quiet guy that has built some really nice supras in the past so i figured id suck him to the dark side of the rb world.  we pulled this thing like a couple farmers was nice and entertaining

    • And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !
    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
