Hello. I have recently bought an RB25. It claimed to have poncams but no specs were available. Removed covers to find both intake and exhaust are 264/264 with 8.5mm lift.
 

Looking to degree the cams- but I can't find any info on a 264 intake and exhaust.

Are these real cams? Or knockoff? Never heard of fake camshafts but there is fake turbos so it's arguably easier to fake cams...

 

Cheers!6B0C81AD-4D30-45C5-B6DB-3DDDF8131D69.thumb.jpeg.6ca6daeb767c5dfae92fb0ae3b8da4ec.jpeg

Really ? That sucks, they had some really good grind selections. Only just sold some new Camtech RB26 cams last week for $500. 🤦‍♂️

Kelfords only now I guess ?

They certainly don't seem current- but I can't find any specs to degree them in!

Just put them on the same LSAs as any other 264° cam, or choose an LSA halfway between the typical 256° and 272° cams' specs. Tighten or widen the LSA by a degree or two depending on how you want the engine to work.

Ages ago I was told that Tomei cams don't need to be dialled in and should always be set to zero ...for RB25 Gtst's.

This was after we dialled in [from memory 5 degrees [could have been 10, it was 20 years ago]] and it ran like shit.  Asking around everyone said to set to zero and it will work.....we did, and it did.

I could be wrong for your motor, but if you don't see gains then zero is your answer.

But Dose Pipe and GTSboy will know more.

Yeah I heard that too- but these seem fairly big for what most run. Probably going to get some stock cams for now- runs like a dog off boost and isn't fun, 120psi across all 6, shitty idle etc

Likely they are 0* right now- no adjustable cam gears so I think for street use stock is fine.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
