Worth Adjusting Tomie 256/262 Cams ?

[17psi r33]

hi i have a set of cams installed on my rb25det and was wanting to know if any one got power gains when adjusting the cams on your cam gears? is it worth the stuff around and what else would this improve?

Tomei cams are set at optimum performance, you will go backwards if you adjust them, even 3 or 4 degree's can drop your rwkw figure by 10-20. Set them at zero and be happy.

if they are anything like in my rb26, i seen massive gains (80 kg in some parts) by adjusting cam gears.

80 kgs? yeah when i tuned mine it gained 3 days

I dont believe you. 3 days is alot.

Wouldnt that depend on turbo size, capacity, compression ratio, headwork, exhuast size, boost pressure and any other variable you can think of?

poncams are set

any ajustments looses power

they tested this on the old hpi dvd with the r34 build.

lol enough KG jokes hes talking about torque

[GTR1993]

lol, i meant kw. In the mid range i picked up huge amounts.

Its true on a GTR, but not for a Gtst, no gains at all for a Gtst, the cams are dialed in from Tomei/HKS etc.

Any cam timing adjustment is simply a sacrifice of power elsewhere in the band. What Tomie/HKS dial their cams in as "optimal" from the factory may not necessarily be "optimal" for your own setup..
