ummm. no.

Everyone else here reads this forum too.

Based on what ive seen or done myself, ill pass comment on it if i know a bit.

There have been a number of people (on this very forum if you read most threads) that have tried this to get next to no gain.

So is that money justifiably spent? Not really.

Funny you found a thread in another section... heaven forbid should it have involved the search button :P

If your bitter about the RB20 head on a 30 bottom end. Thats your problem.

Dunno how many people in that thread told you its a waste of time how many diffferent ways?

dont bother posting if your going to whinge at the responses

The Exh Cam gear on the Neo Engine did absolutely nothing. Cost me $600 worth of fitting and dyno time, and did nothing.

On the non Neo, apparently it can give 5rwkw through the midrange and a little bit up top too, but it's probably not worth the effort.

The cost and effort required to pick up 5rwkw isn't really justifiable.

IMHO

BASS OUT

i'm not bitter about anything, i just think your an arogant, ignorant, idiot on a moderator power trip. i havn't had a problem with anybodies replies bar yours.

anyway, fitted it all up today, seems to pull alot harder. i'll try to do do 0 degrees and 4 degrees consecutive runs when i get on the dyno, should be in the next few weeks. anyone know where i can get an safc2 for a good price

All you're doing when you retard the exh. timing is creating a bit more exaust pressure through the turbo hence the quicker spooling and improved mid-range torque, on the neo engine it will do squat!

The only problem with that is if you retard it too much you go backwards in power because the engine is working against itself trying to push exh. gas through an unopened valve.

You only really need adjustable cam pulleys when you get aftermarket cams that have a lot more duration than standard so you can finely tune the characteristics of the power band to get the most out of it.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
