Adjustable Cam Gears

[ashneel]

ok well this has me thinking now.

will be sending the car of to get the timing belt and water pump done

would it be advisable to get adjustable cam gears on at the same time???

its for a stock S2 r33 with cat back exhaust and pod but later on im planning finishing of the exhaust with dump pipe and high flow cat and FMIC and power FC but will still be running stock turbo and most likely stock boost or at most 9-10psi max

but for now could i still install the adjustable cam gears with the current mods??

also from what iv read will only need one the exhaust side correct?

thanks

ye u onli need the exhuast side if u change the inlet side too u will lose ur vvt...i personally dont think it is worth fitting an a adjustable cam gear with the stock turbo.

hope that helps dude.

if you can get it on a dyno to see where your gains are then it would be worth it. from what i've herd the 33's on the majority benifit from having one installed and adjusted. but definantly need to see the curves to see where the right spot is.

Its a line-ball call i reckon.

Some people get gains, some people dont.

The gains, generally arent "massive" on the RB25, and i dont believe its the tuners as some people who tried (and didnt make more power) attended some well known workshops

So yeah, your damned if you do... damned if you dont. But personally i wouldnt based on the 50/50 ive seen here over the years

RB26 would be a different story though

thanks for that guys

will stay away from it then if its not "really" needed

thanks for clearing this up for me

I read mixed results before I did mine.

This was the result before and afte, with a tune..with all the supporting mods.

THe result was better than expected.

old topic bumped up!

but what are the gains on adjustable cam gears on a RB20DET 32?

looking to do the same thing. Get the timing belt down as im approaching the 150, 000km mark and the 'Mechanic' advised it needs to be done.

so have a few kits i am looking at (with or without the adjustable cams) not sure which way to go?

any help would be appreciated heaps
