Best Cam To Install With 2860-5 Garrets

[boobeedoobee]

Hi, I am about to install garret 2860-5 into my r32gtr. Is it a good idea to also install some aftermarket cams and if so which would be a good set.

At the moment I am running 270awkw on e85.

It also has all the other good bits and so it's time to install turbos just wondering if aftermarket cams is a good idea or not.

Thanks

Not enough info.

To select cams you need to specify what you want to do with the car, Rev limit, what 'all the other good bits' means etc.

Sort of. For a neo they are highly rated, not so much for an rb26.

I mainly use the car to do Hillclimbs and is also a weekender.

I like high revs if that helps

So the engine is not rebuilt?

In that case don't spend the money on cams,save it for a rebuild down the track.

Standard cams for hillclimbs, unless you go to a shorter diff ratio imo

[Anfanee]

If it's for hillclimb i wouldn't even go -5's. Go -7's and put E85 through it. Though that's just me.

Engine is not rebuilt. So no cams..is it a good idea to get cam gears then?

[Piggaz]

Standard or Tomei type R.

Type B's, too much duration for the lift given. Bigger is not always better.

[Anfanee]

I would at least get cam gears.

but...but.... They go Braap braap braap braap braap........

[boobeedoobee]

Lol anfamee, I like the sound of a lumpy cam but if it is not necessary then I think the cam gears will suffice for now. Till I do a re - build.

[Anfanee]

I SAID... BRAAP BRAAP BRAAP.

[Piggaz]

Pull some fuel and timing at idle. There is your brap brap.

You can, if you ask Tomei nicely, get them to supply you with a number of different cams - you dont have to go typeA/B/R. Eg the exhaust on a type A is 252 degrees that on a B 260. But you can (Or could) order up a 256 degree cam if you wanted.

Anyway with E85 you would lean toward a type B - but again it all depends on how much you want to grind out of the thing and how much low end losses you are prepared to live with. I once had type B's with -5s (albeit on petrol) and as a hillclimber they sucked balls. You cant get out of the slower chicanes as the thing takes forever to get on boost. Type A exhaust cam and a slightly smaller inlet cam made a good difference (Like near on 40 hp at 4000rpm) without killing the top end but again petrol and E85 are different things.

Those mines 252 at 10.05 mm would be a damn neat cam. Not cheap though.

Thanks piggaz, I don't mind paying for quality, where could I get a set of then from?
