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.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
