Changing the Cams should give you more low down power. A lightened Flywheel will let it rev quicker which should get it into boost quicker. Im running a lightened flywheel and i think there is a big difference. My mates R32 doesnt react as quick when taking off and the revs go up so much quicker on the run.

try cam gears.. worked well for me, basically shifted my whole power curve left :(

otherwise, the usual exhaust mods should help

oh, and throw in some more base timing

:(

What cams?? They brought boost on earlier im guessing by ur comment?

Thats what im looking for, not somethin to give me heaps more top end but abit more low down.

Otherwise i may just chuck the rb20 n go rb25 coz its such a pig off boost hahahaha

Waz, for some reason I thought u were running gtr cams?

i am, but i also run adjustable cam gears

but i don't think the cams contribute to off boost performance, more the cam gears that adjust the cam position...

which was what i was trying to say...

How much money are you willing to spend? At the end of the day the little RB20 will never be a great off boost performer. Cam gears, and tune may give you a little bit more in the mid, say 5kws??? But at what price.

Throw on a baby steel wheel turbo, run 15psi and run the ECU, fuel pup and bolt ons needed. By this time you have spent well in excess of 6k...and you will still have nothing off boost. Its a 1350 (driver, fuel etc) car with a little low compression 2L....sadly you can thave everything :P

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
