need to know asap!

Low end increases? Keep your stock cams then.

For mid-range increases, then 264 degree cams are the go.

The reason people talk about TOMEI poncams is because they are a direct fit (~9.1mm lift).

The HKS cams which are a direct fit are only 8.4mm lift, so most people just go for the TOMEI cams.

If you want to focus on low-mid range power i would try the new Tomei "Type R" poncams for GTR. I think they are around 252 duration, and very effective for low-mid range. Cam gears will also help bring boost/powerband earlier. I wouldnt do cams without out the wheels. I have Tomei type B poncams in mine.

its just i can get a set of HKS cheap lik 499 new

[Blue_GTR]

The HKS cams dont have enough lift in my opinion. You would get better results with the Tomei's. Better to spend the money right the first time. I think its been proven many times that Tomei Poncams are the best cam solution for GTR. They run the most lift of all the "drop-in" type cams which i think is important when choosing cams. More lift equals more air to breathe.

If you just wanna shift your powerband earlier, get a set of cam wheels fitted and dialled in. This will bring power on earlier, but at the expense of top end power dropping off earlier.

so keep the standered cams and get some cam wheels?

but surely HKS is still better than standered?

Cos i doubt ill ever spend 1000 on poncams

Yeah, HKS would be better than standard of course. But the Tomei's even better ..Tomei's would give a greater peak power/torque throughout the rev-range compared to a similar duration HKS cam i think. (Which is the reason most do a cam upgrade)

What are the specs of the HKS cams you were looking at? Durations/lift specs?

Think about what your end result/goal of your car is, and whats gonna work better for you in the long run. If your on a tight budget, then there may be other areas of your car you can upgrade and get better value for $$$ per KW

Someone on the forum may have used the same HKS cams in their car, hopefully they will find this post and give an opinion from experience

HKS DURALUMIN+ Ni PLATING cam gears. item number are.. 22004-AN002 RB exhaust, 22004-AN002 RB intake

Thats all i know about them and ive tried searching cant find anything... hmmmm can anyone shed some light on them??

Brand new Intake & Exhaust side HKS cams for $499? I don't think so.

For your application the Tomei Type B Poncams are the best choice.

The Tomei Type B package that includes Tomei Duralumin cam gears is a very good option

We don't run any cams in RB26's without valve spring upgrades. The standard valve seat pressure is abismal, so the rule of thumb steps we use are;

Up to 9 mm lift = shim the standard valve springs

9 mm to 10 mm = Performance Springs, best value for money and shimmable to achieve the seat pressure desired

Over 10 mm = Jun valve springs, simply the best. Keep in mind the MINOR releaving of the head to clear the cam lobes (not a biggy, but necessary)

All of the above can be accomplished without removing the cylinder head ie; done it situ in the engine bay.

You want more low down performance, TURN UP THE BOOST, nothing else works as well and is that simple.

Happy New Year

cheers for that...

you wouldnt know the specs of the above mentioned HKS cams?

Dont Forget the new GREDDY easy cams, direct fit, supplied as a matched pair with all the centreline checked so that they (in most cases dont need dialing in) , cheap and all have new profiles ground off a brand new machine. 256 9.1mm lift or 264 9.1mm lift available.

^^^ good call, with your setup ADz you should see reasonable power as it is with a decent tune.

Hi there, just a dumb question if it hasn't already been asked, $499 quoted is for HKS cams or HKS cam gears only?
