So since this thread is dead...can we take it in a slightly different direction. Copy, complete and paste the following info into your post :ninja:

Cam Brand -

Specs - (I:Duration/lift , E:Duration/lift)

Turbo -

ECU -

Before, Power - @ psi

After, Power - @ psi

Dyno sheet

It seems so far a few ppl seem to have tried Poncams and HKS Step 1. I shoudl have some results up in a few weeks.

Cam Brand - Tomei Poncams

Specs - (I:256/8.5 , E:256/8.5)

Turbo - gt2876r .64 housing

ECU - haltech e11v2

Before, Power - ? @ psi - didnt get a power reading before doing all the work to the engine

After, Power - [email protected] psi

Dyno sheet - dont have a scanner

quincy777- mate ill tell you this. i have had an RB20DET in my GTRST b4 and the mods i had was:

Custom Zorst Manifold

GT3040R with .63 housing

Sard 550cc

EMS stinger

bosch 910 fuel pump

forrged pistons (Arias)

Custom FMIC

Now, i was running 1.5 bar of boost and she made 230rwkw. I ordered Tomei 256 with 9.5 lift cams that was for an RB25DET engine and my mechanic fitted them. then car was tuned at 1.2 bar boost and made a 261rwkw.

The point is that i invested $1500 that was NOT a waste.

Cheers

Babak

230rwkw on 1.5bar wtf that sounds like a fair average figure for that setup...

Who tuned the car? Have they any experience with cars with the same setup as you less the cams?

I have searched high and low and im not able to find a single definitive example where a setup had been run for a period of time, then had cams thrown at it and tuned by the same guy on the same dyno and actually made more power.

LOL...it doesnt appear as though such an example exists :)

If you were after an rb25 example i meet all those criteria. 30rwkw gain with no other changes.

it was tuned by richard at allstar performance systems here in qld, your best bet would be to email dan from elite racing at [email protected] and ask him about his personal rb20, i know he did see results from changing to poncams.

I have Cams in my RB20, with GT3040, 25psi, boost came on hard and all the way to 8.7k, made close to 290rwkw untill it received some forged piston melting conditions. lol.

a better tune and more fuel with new engine should see it hit over 300rwkw.

i know this is all about cams but im not for giving out my specs, but yes they sure make it alot better. more power and response and yes the cam gears were adjusted.

have some faith troy.....my car is in the shed with its cams out, ready for the new ones (256/8.5)....just waitin on the water pump, belts, tensioners

should be fairly soonish

LOL...fair enough. But there is enough 'trust me..wink, wink" stuff going on. Im looking for hard tangible results :)

Can you at least post a dyno sheet?

Look forward to seeing your results as your turbo is a bit smaller then what im running.

Honestly. Based on my experiences with my setup...i agree. Its all in the tune and being willing to run the 18psi with a decent turbo.

What are std Rb20 cams and std RB26 cams. Sure the lift is a little different but the durations isnt overly different. So perhaps the std Rb20 cams are decent enough. I know my power whilst trailing off up top didnt exactly fall over

so true, if anything the rev limit needed to be raised

would obviously differ between setups, but goes to show its possible

anyway, graphs have been pissing me off as of late, going to WSID on the 25th.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
