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.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
