Tomei 288s on YahooJapan

****, I doubt anyone could run these, but I'll throw 'em up anyway. Tomei 288's, 10.35 lift. This little "set" also has NISMO solid lifters and Tomei valve springs,

sittin' pretty at 15000 yen, or about $136usd, which for that price, is worth just the valve springs,

seriously doubt anyone could or would run 288s, though, haha, byebye idle :ylsuper

Those are the craziest cams I have ever seen... lol

[Xero]

Dystopia wants them, so I'm prolly gonna bid on them for him, he has visions of 11000rpms, whether or not he'll reach it, we'll see, but yes, those are super insane cams, ones that'll help him make insane power at 11000rpms

me, I just want some lowly 256s, or maybe I can find some HKS 264s, but they seem a little large for me and my little GT28RS (no, I do not have any of these, but I will soon, getting the clip next week, w00t!)

xero,have youn listed them?

i would be interested in them.... does it say wont ship international?

any info would be good thanx ?

[Xero]

they won't ship internationally, but no one will, that's why you use http://www.rinkya.com

I was intending to bid on them, yes, they're not mine, I was going to get them, however

With that much duration you will definitely need solid lifters, some serious valve springs and some tedious headwork. My built engine's head is outfitted with JUN solid lifters, JUN valve springs and JUN 272s with a 10.5mm lift, but the head was originally designed around 276 degree cam with an 11.5mm lift (intake) and a 268 degree cam with an 11.35mm lift (exhaust). With that much cam you can almost forget about a stable idle as well as an low end grunt (even though the CA is not big there anyway). As for chasing 11,000rpm, that's just insane! The motor will probably fly apart before it gets to that point. Even with my built motor 9700rpms is a bit extreme, but I will carefully plot points of power to make sure I'm not just making noise and not producing any power.

I'm glad to see certain individuals evolving with this motor, but there's a price to pay to play and mediocrity is not an option;) .

if a b18 can hit 11k so can a CA it just will take tiem and tons of money i have a of both rarely at the same time though...

i have been consulting with have some good ideas that they have applied to plenty of race cars. holding it together will be hard and will probly be done on a DET block run NA fisrt and then boost it.

but if i stop making power at a specific rpm i wont keep going.

damn you cuzan0!!!

LOL,what did i do wrong????

LOL,what did i do wrong????

ha

[Xero]

ya put to high of a bid, more than I was willing to pay, so I went and bought a Defi BF Boost gauge instead

[Dystopia]

i need those cams and eveything else what did you bid

[Xero]

I got up to almost $400, I ran out of cash,

I'll make it up to you on the cams, I'll make ya some cam blanks at work, heat-treated and ready grind. So any cam-grinder can take the specs (or maybe even cuzan0 will get more detailed specs like ramp angle for you) and get the cams ground.

also, TODA offers 285, 295, and 305 angles in their B18 cams, so maybe 288 isn't enough, lol!

sorry doode,

[Dystopia]

its coo

still no word from the doc i can getr ahold of him

i know but i am sure it is possible

probly need more duration anyways

Not too much duration, a decent amount of lift, a competent engine management system and understanding the quench design of this motor will help you get to where you need to go. You cannot compare anything to a CA18, but another CA18 with similar mods. A 288 degree cam is excessive and is more designed for a N/A set-up and directly for a turbo application. Anything bigger than a 272 degree cam and you're asking crap load of headache. Take it from someone who has gone down that path. I don't post my all my issues with the path I've traveled with the CA18DET, but I assure you that your sights are set waaaay higher than they need to be and you will be greatly disappointed if you tried. And the reason why I don't post is because some of you will try it anyway, so it's like what's the use. Anyway, good luck on whatever you try and if you had have purchased those camshafts, you would've been stuck! Just because it's a huge cam doesn't mean it's healthy for your engine.
