i have a rb25 na neo head with cams and i want to know if these will work on the s1 det head or if i should just go and buy det s1 cams. tia also if there's a thread already created with the solution a forward would be much appreciated. im also in search of wiring schematics for the fuse box as some of the wiring is pooched.

The base circle dimension would need to be identical on them for it to work. Beyond that, I don't even know if the cam journals are the same, if the attachment for the timing gears and VCT actuator are the same. The CAS drive is definitely different on the exhaust cam.

If the base circle dimension is not identical, then....lifters would be a problem. The Neo is shim over bucket solid, and the vanilla 25 is hydraulic. If you throw a cam with a different base circle onto a hydraulic lifter, you might take it out of its correct dimensional range and have it lock up or collapse.

I would just some Kelfords cams.

The R32 GTR/GTS4 wiring diagrams are here. I shall presume from your profile that we're talking about an R32, and not something that came with an Rb25.

ok gotcha probably the safer route to go that direction anyway. and the wiring that attaches to the main fuse box. if I'm able to find that here as well then that'd be awesome.

I'm in Canada as well and have RB25 S1 cams I can let go for 120$ if you need. PM me if ever you need them. Cheers.

      That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers,

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
