Cams - Advice

[Adz2332]

Hey all

Just wanted to ask the question here as i know if i ask it on the main board i will get flamed. Just need help as not the most mechanically minded.

I just got my car back from Boostworxs with a new tune. Happy with it, response is better and 4000+rpm is awesome.

But the tune is conservative, which i asked for being my daily drive. Shaun said if i wanted over 350+kws on the same conservative tune a set of cams would do it.

What cams for an RB26 are a straight drop in? Like nothing else needs to be modified?

I dont want to buy a set and relise i have to change other things as well.

And whats the differance between all the Poncams that drop in? More lift = what? The bigger = ??

Want them for a bit more power and bit better response. A little lumpy idle might be nice to! lol

Type B seems the way to go 260 and 260 but reading down further is confusing me. What is the mid low hi in type mean?

Have a look on nengun mate. They have some OEM replacement cams. I think made by Tomei. Straight drop in and no need to change the valve springs. That should do the trick

If Boostworx tuned it I would be asking them exactly what cams they recommend dropping it to get the max power/response with that particular tune.

If its a streeter my guess is you'll be wanting poncam type B's (i see you already have adjustable cam gears)... You wont need to change springs for them. I believe the difference is the Type A is a lumpier cam which will get you more power than the B's but the B's have smoother delivery.. I could be wrong though

-D

Edit - Actually I got that completely wrong. Type A is meant for stock/N1 turbos and Type B is meant for larger turbos - and since you have the -5's, probably both of them would suit - info direct from Tomei - http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/_2003web-catalogue/e070_cam_RB26.html
