hey Joel.....did you have to retard the exh gear to compensate and bring the power curve back to the left?

I'm abit confused, cause even though 9mm is not huge lift, when I went to school, bigger overlaps always caused a shift in rpm in a northerly direction.......maybe it's more to do with your tune than the cams cause I always thought that better response is not generally a side effect of bigger overlaps :blink:

:laughing-smiley-014: Back and to the left........

ahh ok.......sounds like an Ivan Tighe grind.

I though you may have been running a Poncam, HKS or similar cause they all run bigger overlaps than stockies

Tighe regrind it was.

I stumbled upon a list of HKS, Jun and LCA's but be buggered if I can find it.

I do remember the Rb20det's definitely had the same 110 and 115 LCA's when running in the 264 duration range.

Rb25's.. 115/115.

So would u recommend me get cams if I'm getting camgears, turbos, and injectors (and their support mods, fuel pump, water pump, afm, gaskets)... and if so, what type? I know nada about engine physics

-D

Cams always help make the power easier..

Don't overcam it. I was a little nervous 265's were a little too big but Shaun has had good results with that type of duration on fairly stock rb30det's previously so I went with his advice.

yeah we used to deal with Tighe Eng many years ago when I was still at Adelaide Eng, so I've considered going with one of his grinds as opposed to alot of the Jap stuff out there.

Good thing about them is that they don't just grind a second hand cam then end up with undersize lobes that have gone through the hardening process but instead they either start with a new billett or build up the lobes first. I find that alot of the jap grinds aren't really considering the average Joe that needs to drive to work through peak hour.

Sometimes I wish I still had access to our cam grinder and all the various masters that we had cupboards full of.

    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House
