The wiggle up top is because of the 4wd.

Wow thats quiet an increase....

Your right about the cams but you have to get the correctly match turbo for the engine's intensions.

I've only ever seen thoes sorts of gains with n2o in place.

Edited by cameron

Ok so I take it you won't tell us the specifics... but how about something general -

1) These types of gains, or even something "similarly comparable", are they "available" across the board provided you have some sort of hardware under the bonnet?

2) What should people take into consideration when making their "cam selection"?

3) What made you guys change from the old ones?

bout time paul :)

i dont want to speculate on the specs, so cant u just put us out of our miserie please :) (or just the big 2, engine capacity and turbo selection, or r u still running what u had planeed originally?)

We have have seen a silimar phenomena when fitting a larger inlet cam.

By going from a 264 to a 272 duration on the inlet and spending more time on the dyno adjusting cam timing, we were able to achieve earlier boost response, significantly better top end AND at a lower boost pressure. Both cams are now 272 STEP 2 HKS items.

Other specs as per the RB26 Turbo Upgrade Sticky

another related weird power issue that i witnessed was with mark jacobson's car at autosalon, on an early run he wasnt making the power he thought the car had, so he played with the cam timing abit and on the next run picked up 200hp :)

i dont want to pull the head off so can jam bigger sticks in there :banana:

yes you do, remember u were just itching to get it off :banana:

i guess we have to wait til tomorrow for paul to post in here. oh how the wait is going to kill me :)

P.S i'll have a guess and say there in the vacinity of 10.xx lift and 27x duration, am i right? :)

Man thats so much difference it looks like it was done in 2 different gears.

Definately no funny business like that going on...ill make that quite clear.

But yes the result shocked even the builder and tuner.

Bigger than that :(

who said it was my engine...or car ?

while some would have been happy with the original result (BTW this is pump fuel and no NOS) , the end result was achieved due to the effort by the boys at Croydon's. Truely world class...

    • Hey guys I’m chasing a Rb20det complete or bare block need a good running engine as mine has low comp 
    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
