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, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
