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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
