He meant that all cars respond to different cam gear settings differently...even with standard cams...so tuning IS STILL REQUIRED to get some quantitative results...so your mistake there...

That said...i've read up alot about these before i had mine done and in general most guys ended up with between +1 to +3 advance on INLET and -2 to -6 retard on EXHAUST...thats a starting range...the rest is up to you...

haha soft spot aye? anyway i get mine tuned tmmrw so let you know on weds when i get it back

lol not really hey just in my eyes std will be roughty the same every time.

how did u go with yours? what did u gain? and whered did you gain power?

Edited by yogibear
get it tmmrw now (hoping), timing belt and water pump changed. true, but still you will need it tuned. i doubt any gains in the top end will happen, at most might get a little extra midrange? any who tell you when i get it

Did you end up getting these fitted and tuned? interested in results...

Heard from a few tuners the best results on RB20s are seen at IN + 3 and EX - 6 but that being said, all motors are different and react differently

I just had my car on the dyno over the weekend and we ended up advancing the EX side as it liked it better and picked up a bit more power through the midrange and top end, when he retarded the exhaust side it lost a whole heap of power

I'd probably suggest you let a tuner do it just so they can recheck timing and making sure its not pining etc

but is the +3 and -6 of the crank ? or is it of the cams?

    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
