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.

    • 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.
