I have done a search but was unable to get the kind of information I needed to understand CAMSHAFTS.

Can you tell me which kind of camshaft to get and and what HP gains are. I know of TOMEI, HKS ONLY. Thanks PPL

I have these mods

just replace my turbo with a Hi-flowed GTT and VG-30 rear.

Z32

Fuel Reg

Exhaust Cam

Hi-flow Cat

FMIC

BC

Walbro 255L

Split dump

Apexi Power FC

3" Exhuast Tip

550 nismo injectors

Would probably have to say that the stockies will do with your setup.

But if you really want some cams, buy some big brand jap ones like the ones uve metnioned but stay sensible on the duration and lift

Maybe some tomei poncams 252 deg duration and 9.15mm lift....dunno.

You wont see gains just by dropping a set of cams, ull also need new cam gears, and you may need to mod the valvetrain (valves, springs etc)

Then they all need to be set up properly, timing adjusted and the ECU will need a retune

And even then with your setup you might get 20kws at the wheels, you may end up with a much meatier midrange and the turbo will spool quicker, or you may get nothing...

Cams are a great mod, often underrated, but they arent really a huge poweradder on a mild tuned car, better kw/$ value things to be done

The only things i noticed when my poncams were installed was more torque off boost and my dyno graph was alot smoother.Maybe brought the boost on 100-200rpm earlier.

Dont really notice big power gains until you get into the 260deg/9.15mm onwards IMO.

Use 256' 8.5mm lift ones for increased efficiency and a smoother power delivery maybe.

If you use bigger say 272' and 9.something lift then you could get a better peak power result, but it will be over a smaller rev range.

I have Tomei 256/8.5, not unhappy with them, but 280rwkw was my baseline, and I wanted room to move above this figure. If you are happy with around 260rwkw, std cams with an exhaust cam wheel with around 3-5 degrees on it would be fine [you'd set that up on a dyno tune].

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
