This might be a stupid question but isnt VVT only on the r34 Neo engines, and not the r33 rb25det? So your adjuster mod can only be used on cars fitted with VVT?

Noise???? Based on the 2 degrees advance we apply to GTR's and RB20's, it doesn't make the idle "lumpy", if that's the question.  They just sit there and idle, same as they did before.

Emmissions, that's a bit tougher to answer as it depends on how the engine is tuned before the inlet camshaft timing is advanced.  Just fitting an exhaust and turning up t he boost to 10 psi makes an RB25DET fail the ADR standards.  I suspect if you advanced the inlet camshaft timing 2 degrees on a totally stock engine it would make bugger all difference to the emissions, with NOx being the only question.

Sydneykid, have you tried to advance on the inlet of r33 with as et of poncams?

Depends if it is an R33GTST or R33GTR. The 3 X RB25's we have used Poncams in work best at zero degrees. In my experience, GTR's always benefit from adjusting the camshaft timing, regardless of the brand of camshaft used.

:P cheers :P

Sorry it's r33 gtst. you meant zero degree in both inlet and exh?

I reckon I might be able to find some of my lost power by dialing the cams in with this adjustable inlet pulley.

Maybe my inlet cam is one way or the other and I'll be able to find the best position for it.

0 Degrees will probably the best spot, but I'm not confident that mines at 0 now.

Well, Paul33 is testing the adjusters this weekend with Dr Drift.

Thanks to both for giving it a go.

Unfortunatly I can't make it to have a look. I'm doing wedding stuff with my fiance. And if I want to continue to speak in a voice that doesn' sound like Michael Jackson, then I must accompany her.

Godd Luck guys, I look forward to the results.

BASS OUT

hey bass i forgot to tell you, mega sorry its not going in this weekend, its being booked in mid next week, prolly go in wednesday as sam has been flat chat. ill pm you monday what time its going in on wednesday

Hi guys,

Sorry for the late reply and big delay. We had the cam gear fitment put on over the weekend and after testing we made no extra power whatsoever. My cams were dialed in at the factory position and made the best power there. Any more advanced and we lost power everywhere else but gained like 2rwkw in the top end.

There are some pics of the unit fitted below (can get better ones if you like). Very nice little invention/concept just a shame the power increase wasn't experienced. Let me know if I can help in any other way or test stuff etc. Dyno chart to come tomorrow when I scan it up, shows unit fitted and no change, then 3 deg advance then 5 deg advance

We usually find 1 or 2 degrees advance on the inlet camshaft is the best on the non VVT engines. Maybe 3 degrees was past the optimum.

:) cheers :D

Pauls inlet was already set around 2/3 degrees advanced, which is why we didn't see the gains that Bass did.

Summary:

Moving the adjustment of the inlet cam gear from the back to the front is an excellent idea. If your cam timing is not right, you can expect some noticable gains. I would highly recommend this modification to be done when the timing belt is being changed, or the cams are being upgraded. It is a very simple procedure that provides extra flexability when tuning, and may help find some 'lost power' that some 33's are missing.

Sam.

    • I'm at the point of seriously starting a project to build and Arduino/mc (of some sort) based multigauge to go in the console where triple gauges normally sit. I have found a screen of the right dimensions. I would need to 3D print a bezel/housing to make it mount up pretty. That's doable. I would need to come up with interfacing circuitry for the EGT thermocouple. I'm sure there will be examples of that into Arduino out there somewhere. Ditto with characterising the output of the existing boost gauge's MAP sensor and the oil T gauge's thermistor. And then, because it is a screen, it can be controllable, so it can show more than the 3 gauges I currently have. So I can come up with a list of other things I want to be able to show on it that can be reasonably easily handled via an Arduino's inputs. I do not need this project. But the stepper gauges I'm using are giving me grief. It's time to come kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
    • Would you really prefer pillar gauges over something like this? https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-067010-haltech-ic-7-digital-dash-kit/ Or if you can spend more, this? https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-068000-haltech-uc-10/ I could write a thesis about how much better a modern dash is compared to a series of gauges. 
    • People think it's a waste of space, ugly, etc, generally associate "emissions control equipment" with "bad". These OBD1 vacuum-only systems I'm not a huge fan because I think they don't go far enough. They're wasting some of the fuel captured because they start purging as soon as the engine pulls vacuum. Later OBD1/OBD2 they put an electric purge valve on them to vent only when closed loop is active so the ECU will trim some fuel out. Even later OBD2 with zero evaporative loss the tank is 100% sealed from atmosphere until you run the engine or press the refuel door release. The tank has to take much higher vacuum/pressure spec but you never deal with saturating the charcoal canister and losing some fuel that way. The fuel also lasts as long as it would in a 100% airtight container which is nice when you're dealing with modern E10 pump gas.
    • If your luck is anything like mine, what happens is in the process of pulling hoses to get access to the one leak you create many more leaks because every o-ring was on the verge of failing and the strain of pulling it apart caused it to fail. Sometimes life is simple, sometimes you pay twice trying to save once. For the R33 you can still get most AC components from Nissan, I use nissan epc data or amayama to look up the part numbers and then search for the cheapest/most practical way of sourcing from there.
    • The dirty secret is there is nothing recyclable about the plastic bag or old plastic bottles either. Our local trash collection explicitly calls it out as hazmat in both cases. Oil-soaked rags + paper towels too. Oil-soaked cardboard is also not recyclable. The most common case of oil-soaked paper like that is pizza boxes, which are explicitly compost-only from the oil. To my knowledge hazmat oil contaminated plastic the only solution is either landfill or "thermal recycling". Most plastics in my experience there is slow permeation of the oil it's holding into the container so it's very challenging to get it 100% clean.
