on my RB20DET i have fmic,

zorst

gt 3071

bigger injectors (not sure of the size)

apexi PFC

bosch 023 fuel pump

not all the parts have been assembled as of yet.. so while i am putting it together i figured i might change the Cam gears but i was wondering would it realy make any difference that the stck ones?

i have been told by a few fairly reptable people that work on rb's (ray RE customs) that cam gears are not worth stuffing round with.

On stock cams on a RB20 or RB25 i agree, not much gains if any and you are paying for a lot of dyno time. However for a RB26 good gains are to be had out of stock cams with a bit of adjustment.

They let you move the power around so you can set them up to produce more midrange at the expense of the top end or vice versa. So with a big turbo i would suggest setting them up for more midrange and let the turbo take care of the top end.

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
