Stage 2 Poncams

[GTR 400]

Hi to all Skyline owners i own a R32 Gtr and am getting my Power Fc installed and tuned soon i have all the other mods already like exhaust, coils, Fmic, injectors etc,was wanting to know by people in the know as to when you would need to get cams for your car, is it if your chasing more power or will it perform better then factory cams, what specs also eg, stage 1 or stage 2 are they no good for the street will i lose bottem end torque or not to much as the trade of benefit for mid and top end.

I will be runnning 20psi my bottom end is rebuilt and forged, if anyone with atrue understanding of the theories of Cams please help me out with my questions would appreciate it a million.

Cheers,

Dave.

Hi Dave,

I suppose it really depends on how much power you want to make. Most people would probably agree that the standard cam shafts in the RB26 will flow enough to allow for 500hp, good example at www.xspeed.com. Especially if you are running 20psi. Some people are getting that sort of power with less boost, because the turbos flow more.

have to go for now, might add some shit later

Thanks Slim Mat even though the standard cams can make that sort of power will stage 2s make it and beyond but give the engine better response compared to the standard items.

Stage 2 camshafts will definitely help make more power for the same amount of boost. Not entirely sure what it will do for the driveability or response though. Should make more of the torque in the mid to higher rpm band, may reduce torque at low revs, so you will have to rev it more to take off, won't cruise as easily.

For good low and mid range response..that is for street use Poncams 9.15mm lift are the way to go for you.

Some say these cams should have come with a gtr to start off with.

These cams are good for all after-market turbo's in a gtr and run with your standard computer as well(just in case)

Do a search in the forced induction thread and read some

Thanks for that info sounds good what stage poncams would you suggest the Stage 1 or Stage 2 cams.

I got the type b (stage 2) 260/260 poncams in my GTT and I didn't lose any power anywhere in the rev range. Just gained mid and top end.
