leeroy_25 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I have been thinking which cams to run in my RB30/RB26 setup.. after reading lots of post I was thinking that the Tomei poncams.. 264 duration with 9.15 lift was the best option? The other otpion would be HKS Step ones which are 264 with only 8.7lift.. What would be the difference in drivability and power output with each of these setups? I am running a stock bottom end and will limit the rpm to around 6750. maybe 7000rpm max. Will have the rods peened so trying to determine the max boost I can run at the mo relatively safely!? I reckon about 1.4bar? I am hoping to get around 550bhp plus at the flywheel with the corect supporting mods and turbo. I have just had the offer of a pair of HKS cams.. they are both step1 but one is a 264 and one is a 272? How will this set up work. does it matter which cam has the longer duration? What should I do!! Thanks Lee Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/250808-hks-step-1s-of-poncams-rb30rb26/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeroy_25 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 No takers??! Come on guy's what are 'you' running? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/250808-hks-step-1s-of-poncams-rb30rb26/#findComment-4345904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Im running 272deg 10.8mm, but im going for a heap more power than you are after. If the cams are cheap grab them for later, but i wouldn't bother fitting them at this stage.

brada31ke70 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 hi leroy, are you running twin turbos or just a single? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/250808-hks-step-1s-of-poncams-rb30rb26/#findComment-4346238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeroy_25 Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hey there, I will be running a big single! Main thing is I wil be limited on boost and rpm by the fact I have a stock bottom end.. so reckon max 20psi and 7000rpm.. although I'll probably run more like 17psi and 6750 rpm to be safe!

leeroy_25 Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Adriano, Are yours the step 2 hks? So you have uprated springs as well.. Would you suggest sticking with stock cams or holding out for some tomei's? I can get the cams with pullies or £250. New I think they are about £260 each plus shipping! I thought that was pretty good! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/250808-hks-step-1s-of-poncams-rb30rb26/#findComment-4347782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Sounds like a good price. Depending on your turbo, 17 psi may be too much for the bottom end, especially with cams fitted.

leeroy_25 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 I am planning to run either a Master Power or a Holset.. More chance it will be a Holset at the mo.. So it's a little bit experimental! So you reckon i'll make the power on lower boost? Surely that woul dbe better for the engine?

rob82 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Has anybody cam doctored any of name brand Cams. I think for the RB30/26 you could probably get away with aggressive ramps as the rev limit is 1000rpm lower than most rb26. I would like to know who has the greatest area under the curve for the same advertised duration.

BoostdR Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 try 264 9.7 or 260 10.25 for proven results. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/250808-hks-step-1s-of-poncams-rb30rb26/#findComment-4484872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
