My RB feels to be more than somewhat lacking around 4000rpm. See attached chart.

It has the following

Garrett 28-60's 707160-5 turbos.

HKS dumps.

Tomei Poncams.

Unadjusted cam gears.

Power FC with Z32 AFM's.

Stock internals with good compression.

Some other random parts which probably aren't very important

Basically my question is this:

How can I get some more torque from 4000rpm to about 5000rpm?

its all in the timing and tuning, get some adjustable cam gears....assuming you mean non adjustable cam gears not non adjusted adjustable cam gears. ...(not cheap ones the screws rattle loose),......does that make sense????????????????????

and then go back for a full tune( assuming its a aftermarket ecu/piggyback?)

if not you'll be better off with one of those too.

richard,

just did some dyno time last night and i have the same gear as you but forge internals now.

I have a bit of porting done to the head and manifolds but shouldnt be a million miles away.

with the 260 x 9.15 cams we made 470 hp at 1.35 bar boost and 330 odd ft/pd torque. We then advanced the inlet cam 2 degrees and retarded the exhaust 2 degrees. then made 465 hp but 386 ft/pd torque at 7500 at 1.35 bar.

boosted a bit earlier as well, around 3800 for usable boost pressure.

Worth a try.

Cheers for that. The motor I have is a bit rediculous. It has bolt ons to run it up over 500rwhp but stock internals, so has been turned down to allow it try & live a troubled life. I got crunched for time for getting the tune done which meant no fiddling of the Tomei cam gears. The joy of living in the bush is RB gurus are 180km away in Perth.

Anyway I would be curious to see what people are generating in terms of rwhp through 4000rpm.

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
