Pro's And Con's Of Hks Cam Gears

[chalky]

interested in finding out some general info on HKS cam gears or similar items.

What there good/bad points are?

Any power gains?

If so what supporting mods needed to make power gains etc

also this is for an rb20

just a street/ occasionall drag

[vidospace]

There are no real disadvantages other than dodgy ones braking and destorying heads, but the performance improvments are minimal without other supporting mods. Lets just say they help the tuning process extract a few extra KW.

[vidospace]

Supporting mods being injectors, high flow intake and exhuast, and a tunable computer...

[tridentt150v]

this has been covered to death, try searching

[chalky]

well got tunable emu bein put in within 2 weeks, maybe a high flow hypergear turbo then injectors would be necassary, so wiuth those mods would there be much gain?

for the record , thats an old wives tale.

*imagines a bunch of old wives talking about the rb25det/26 CAM gears over a nice cuppa tea with some cupcakes*

[DaGr81]

Apparently people were saying that almost all after market cam gears have weak teeth and crack easy. So I guess that would be a con. Also why spend 300 to buy them about 100 to install to get 3/4kw - 400 bux = new coil packs which you'll most likely need sooner rather than later
