What kind of gains could I expect with cam gears and the stock cam?

Boost on a little sooner, more power/torque everywhere in the curve.

That was my experience with 34R stockers anyway.

You're best off leaving the stock cams in and using adjustable gears. With adjustable gears you can get some good gains, depending on the amount of time spent dialing in and setting up the cams to suit your tune. That way you'll get the best response.

If you weren't going to keep stock, Type R would be recommended next before Type B. As others have mentioned, you'd lose some low down response with Type B for top end power but in reality having low-mid range power is much better.

310kw on E85 seems slightly low for those turbos also. Unless the boost is down at a lower level then it would make sense. Adding cam gears and more boost (21psi area) you could get up to 350kw provided you don't have restrictions elsewhere.

There is a bit of information available on the Tomei Poncam range and the results obtained from them on a variety of setups.

How can type bs make a gtr with gt-ss drive Terribley down low

They already responsive as f**k ! I been in my mates before and after type bs noticed no difference down low

I should find out what gains he got with cams....

You should give Racepace a call and ask them what the think about type b's. I'll give you a hint, they got ripped out, sold off and went back to stock. What looks impressive on a dyno doesn't always show what's going on actually driving the car.

Thanks again everyone.its clear that aftermarket cams are not worth it on a 2.6 so cam gears have been ordered and I'll post the results when it's done

Stock cams/cam gears, -7s and E85 over here. 325kw with all the mid range you could want.

As Piggaz said, a dyno graph won't always show how the car drives.

I was making 320kw on 98 with:

-7's

Tomei Type B's

Tomei cam gears

Standard Dumps

Nitto bottom end

It's currently getting fixed up, and then put to E85. Don't know what ill get there....

Without naming names, From what my engine builder reckons RBs don't need massive cams

They make plenty of power and response on very low duration cams.

Most of the time the big duration cams have a pussy profile so that's why you often see the curve move a lot to the right on the graph.

People often forget its not just the cost of buying the cams, but the hidden cost of installing cams on an rb can be a shock too

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
