Hey guys and gals,

I have made the decision to change my cams... At the moment I have hks step 2 272's with 10.2 lift. I'm changing because I want more response down low on the track instead of having to keep the revs up between 5g and 9g.

So question is what cam size would you use? The head has had extensive work done, motor is fully built running -5's, running 98 octane and it's a 2.6. So I am after something that is going to match and make the most out of the engine and turbos for track use.

I'm open to any suggestions. Cheers

I had 260 x 260 tomei cams, had the standard cams put back in, 355 rwkw with the 5s at around 7000 rpm and the car feels great to drive.

which 260s did you have ? would be awsome if you have before and after dyno charts to see the difference between the two cams ?

B type poncams, this was a fresh build at a new workshop, I would love to know myself.

What I did have was -10s with Poncams, Motec M800 at 25psi on Shell 100 octane for a disapointing 350awkw, soon after the engine shit it self.

New setup -5s with stock cams, in went my old power FC with Nismo AFM with just over 20psi on Shell 98 for 355rwkw and so much better to drive, the engine dosn't have to run as hard to make power.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
