Hey all, quick question - Wondering how much power increase I would get from aftermarket cams on my rb20.

Car is r32 gtst

quick run thru of mods

Cooler

Full exhaust/dump pipe

computer

fuel pump

injectors

hi flow turbo

splitfires

So I guess I have all the supporting mods - car is currently making 210rwkw at 18psi (just got tuned this week, havnt even gone to have a drive of the car yet as its still sitting at the shop)

What Im thinkin is if sometime down the track I want to push a lil more power out of the lil rb20, would cams help out? Say if I did aftermarket cams, and a retune - would that be enough to possibly tip me around the 230rwkw mark?

Im extremely happy to get over 200rwkw out of her by the way, this question is purely directed to if I decide to go further with her.

Also open to opinions for other mods to get me close to that power - 230 is my goal because I rekon that should be enough to dip me into the 12 second zone in street trim.

Cheers in advance, by the way I will be askin my mechanic this question tomorrow anyway, but I like getting different opinions.

If you do be sure to keep them in the low 250 duration. A little more lift. Don't go overboard as low mid range will suffer greatly.

Troy went backwards when he fitted 260duration cams to his 260rwwk rb20. made less power everywhere; stock cams and cam gears ftw.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
