Aftermarket Cams On R32 Gtst

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.

      Blitz ER34 at some point hopefully, should be allowed in Gr3 if they do.

      Blue Smoke from exhaust, RB25DE+T

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.

      Like loud exhausts? You could be a psychopath.

      No "could" about it.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.

      Wiring loom difference between A31 A/T RB20DET and R32 M/T RB20DET?

      wired everything up and confirmed that the red with white stripe is indeed the fuel pump pin on this harness.
