Cam Shafts For Rb26 Single

[bogeye]

Just a quick question, doing my r32 gtr single turbo built soon with a gtx35. My mechanic advises me to put a decent head gasket to be safe, in doing this he suggest to take the engine out to install most items he can also change the head gasket, and i thought while hes got that off why not throw in some nice cam shafts to support a decent sized single turbo. Its not a track car or anything so im not real worried about low end torque, more in the way to support the turbo in mid/high range. Any suggestions on brand and degree's to point me in the right direction. I was looking at the tomei poncam type B's that come with cam gears aswell. Just drop in ones.

Also i was looking at intake manifolds, unnecessary? the stock one looks pretty good to me although it would be easy to change doing all this.

Thanks

p.s (has to sound wicked, idling in someones window at a set of lights too!)

Intake manifold is totally unnecessary.

Keep the duration as short as possible as from the sound of it you aren't going to lift your rev limit to take advantage of longer duration camshafts.

I'm going to assume your engine is not built and your just dropping some cam in the head while it is apart.

Look to get a set of camshafts with the biggest possible lift without requiring machining of the head (Do a forum search)

something in 272 degrees of advertised duration would give you the sound your after without destroying drive-ability excessively.

I would not go over 272 degrees for a lightly modified engine and in your case 264's would probably be a better match whilst not sounding as good.

Whatever way you go, definitely get adjustable cam gears.
