Hello world!
I'm new here so please don't get mad at me for asking.
What i need, and i hope some of you know this is the  CAM timing for the RB26DETT engine.
More specific i need:

the angle at witch the intake valve opens

the angle at witch the intake valve closes

the angle at witch the exhaust valve opens

the angle at witch the exhaust valve closes

Lobe Separation Angle

and the advance.

All i know by now is: camshaft duration 240°in, 236°ex lift: 8.58mm in, 8.28mm ex

I can't find anywhere the data that i need and i can't determine it either.
I've attached a photo with the stock camshaft.
All of this is for a school project, i currently study Automotive Engineering and i would like to simulate the RB26DETT engine.
Thank you very much!

From the above info you can calculate it.

But..... At what valve opening are those figures?

It is probably going to be heaps easier to get the specs of aftermarket cams.

Hello Ben!

After posting I found a topic in this forum and I got the data I needed. I just want to confirm it.

Stock cams

Intake 240 degrees 7 BTDC 53 ABDC 113 degrees

Exhaust 236 degrees 63 BBDC 7 BTDC 118 degrees

Sounds like an interesting project.

I don't have the figures to confirm, but in our production car racing we have the cams measured before being sealed into the engine. The measuring is done by Camtech in Sydney, so they must have the data you are after for the stock cams.

The full details for RB26 cams have been listed on the 'net about 60000000173746454 times over the last 30 years. It just takes 10 minutes of googling to get a consistent set, cutting out the clearly wrongheaded ones.

But as Ben said, you can get all of what you need from the data in your first post. If you are doing "Automotive Engineering" to the level that you are going to run an engine in a simulator, I find it very hard to believe that you do now know the relationships between seat to seat duration, advertised duration, lobe centre angles and the timing of specific events. All of these are simply obtained with arithmetic from each other. You only need ~half of them to get the other half. The one caveat there is that the finest details are somewhat affected by the valve clearances.

I would suggest that in the context of running it in an engine simulator, precise details are only going to have a small effect on the quality of the simulation anyway. People put far too much faith in the output of computer simulations.

    • Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
    • These things happen And I believe "we, the people, who modify stuff, and actually use it, cannot have nice things" It's just a shame that it happened so soon after paint  I still win the award for quickly destroying newly painted panels I think, as my car came back from the paint shop all nice and shiny, until about 4 hours later when the boot was destroyed by a wayward locker that was blown around by the wind.... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and poorer.....dooh
    • This. And also, the rotor thickness is constrained by the calipers. Cannot be much thicker, if at all. Cannot be much thinner, if at all. New rotors are....fairly cheap. Turbo calipers can still be picked up for sensible money. Arguably, the best thing is to get R32 calipers and put them on mount spacers on 324mm discs. That's about the cheapest and easiest way to get quite large brakes that are essentially bolt on. And that's despite maintaining for years that the R32 calipers are not the best choice because they seem to be more flexy and creaky than the others. If you were prepared to put up with nasty little NA sliding calipers, these will still seem like Brembos by comparison.
    • A quick Google said 297mm..
    • Why would you not fit the biggest possible brakes?
