What Should Hks Step 1 Cams Be Dial In At

[boostn32]

I have a RB20 with hks step 1 264deg 8.53 lift cams, does anyone know what these should be dialed in at, i brought these

second hand and didnt get the paper with them. Thanks Luke

Even after u dial them in the sheets say to adjust them when tuning. We wasted heaps of time dialling ours in and they didn't get the best results.

I think u should get it on a dyno and tune them that way

if they are like the Tomei poncams, set them up at 0 degrees and leave it at that, you can play around with them, but I doubt you will see any improvement over 0.

ok, i was going to give it a go then go from there, DVS32R do you have the same cams?

[DVS JEZ]

nope only stockers in my new motor.

tridentt150v - even though the cam gears say 0 doesnt mean that they are in the factory 0 position, thats why people dial in cams to get the true 0 for those cams.

on my old SR20 we dialed in the cams as per spec sheet and true zero @ 50thou lift was 13 degrees adv on the inlet and 8 on the exh, after doing this it was on the dyno and playing with the cam gears got us better results on boost response and total power

set them to whatever gives the best results on the dyno

Did all that with my Tomei's and guess what...........0

[boostn32]

Tomei pon cams dont need adjusting, there a drop in and forget. very easy. so 0 is correct for them.

was hoping to save some time on the dyno. well whats a few more hours.

If you have the $$$$$$ for dyno time, I suggest you start off with 0 degrees, and slowly advance it till you're happy with the power curve.

The more you advance any intake cam gear, you will bring the power down lower, but in turn will sacrifice top end power for all you dyno queens.
