So i am new here, I joined to try and get some better information on what i should be looking at to get more out of my rb20det, I have read a lot of the build posts, But would like some advice on camshafts, Turbo and injectors.

The current setup i have is as follows
Rb20det Forged bottom end
From what i can remember
CP pistons, Eagle rods
ARP head studs

Turbo is a Garrett GT25 ball bearing Currently on 13psi
Split fire coilpacks
FMIC 2.5 inch piping
Full 3 inch exhaust system - Stock manifold
Stock ECU
Stock 270cc injectors

Automatic Transmission- Not going manual
​Has greddy cam gears but the threads are stripped out.

I am looking at 260deg 8.8mm camshafts and a set of tomei adjustable cam gears
720cc Injectors
Nistune ECU

What would others recommend to get a bit more out of the engine and will the camshafts i have picked suit properly.
There are not many engine builders up here in the NT so am looking to forums for suggestions.

I will not WILL NOT swap to a different engine.

Also does anyone know of a ECU that will support Automatic transmission?

Are you willing to put in a decent torque converter? something with a 4000rpm stall would wake the car up, and open up your turbo options.

The hassle of trying to run an auto with a piggy back is a pain, just get the trans built with a manualised valve body and then use any ecu.

I think an auto r32 ecu can be nistuned

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
