What kind of gains could I expect with cam gears and the stock cam?

Boost on a little sooner, more power/torque everywhere in the curve.

That was my experience with 34R stockers anyway.

You're best off leaving the stock cams in and using adjustable gears. With adjustable gears you can get some good gains, depending on the amount of time spent dialing in and setting up the cams to suit your tune. That way you'll get the best response.

If you weren't going to keep stock, Type R would be recommended next before Type B. As others have mentioned, you'd lose some low down response with Type B for top end power but in reality having low-mid range power is much better.

310kw on E85 seems slightly low for those turbos also. Unless the boost is down at a lower level then it would make sense. Adding cam gears and more boost (21psi area) you could get up to 350kw provided you don't have restrictions elsewhere.

There is a bit of information available on the Tomei Poncam range and the results obtained from them on a variety of setups.

How can type bs make a gtr with gt-ss drive Terribley down low

They already responsive as f**k ! I been in my mates before and after type bs noticed no difference down low

I should find out what gains he got with cams....

You should give Racepace a call and ask them what the think about type b's. I'll give you a hint, they got ripped out, sold off and went back to stock. What looks impressive on a dyno doesn't always show what's going on actually driving the car.

Thanks again everyone.its clear that aftermarket cams are not worth it on a 2.6 so cam gears have been ordered and I'll post the results when it's done

Stock cams/cam gears, -7s and E85 over here. 325kw with all the mid range you could want.

As Piggaz said, a dyno graph won't always show how the car drives.

I was making 320kw on 98 with:

-7's

Tomei Type B's

Tomei cam gears

Standard Dumps

Nitto bottom end

It's currently getting fixed up, and then put to E85. Don't know what ill get there....

Without naming names, From what my engine builder reckons RBs don't need massive cams

They make plenty of power and response on very low duration cams.

Most of the time the big duration cams have a pussy profile so that's why you often see the curve move a lot to the right on the graph.

People often forget its not just the cost of buying the cams, but the hidden cost of installing cams on an rb can be a shock too

    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32  
    • Nice. I'm looking forward to the updates!
    • Ayooo, been a while mates. I have a s2 r33 gtst and air stopped coming out of all the top vents.   My car has always made an actuator gear noise when turning the car on but that's a different issue I think? Did searches and am at process of thinking it's an actuator or some type of motor? I see a few different actuators and don't know which one. Would be nice to know if it was the one that's under the steering wheel so the dash doesn't need to come out.
    • Hi, just checking. Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.
