idk about the cams........

the injectors however are yellow, and stock injectors are not yellow(least mine werent)...... best way to tell anything about them is to have them flow tested.

All the stock sets I have ever had that were never that yellow. the shafts were not raw metal color either.

Those are the same injectors I have, EVO III 510cc/min. Congrats, you don't have to upgrade to make 300hp! Cams look stock, because of that crappy casting.

If they were HKS they will have HKS stamped on the cam towards the ends in between the lobes for sure.

I guess the only way to tell is to take them out and get them spec. The guy I bought the motor from said they where and if there not I would like to ask for some of my money back but I want to be sure they are or not HKS cams

HKS will have the "HKS" brand stamped into the shaft of the cam, the information about its lift/duration are stamped on the rear...

This is what you should be looking for...

tomei and Jun cams have some sort of stamping on the ends of shafts as shown on the hks cam above... they dont have logo casting marks as such..

as for injectors, look like rb26 gtr 444cc injectors

I'm pretty sure those aren't stock cams. I can't tell what they specs are, but they sure don't look like stock to me. As others have stated, they should have the specs stamped on the end of them.

The injectors defiantly aren't stock either, but you'll have to get them flow tested to see what size they are.

Turn the engine over and watch the piece of the exhaust cam shaft before the first lobe, if they're HKS they'll have a stamp somewhere on there. It might be facing down and the casting looks pretty similar to my HKS 256s.

sounds like you have some laurel injectors... for a rb20, which are smaller than the stock cadet injectors. or if your lucky they are just stock ca injectors. rb26s are yellow as pictured and the only rb injectors larger than cadet injectors

they are definately NOT hks cams... compare the surface finish of the casting to the ones meminto posted.

additionally, they dont need to be removed to see the end of the shaft.. surely you can see the ends of the shafts with the covers off.. take to halfmoon seal out

post your findings (what is stamped on the back) not brand, rather lift/duration.

I apologize for the size of the picture, but these are my DSM 510cc/min injectors. They look identical to the ones the OP posted.

may look identical, but they definately arent.

have a close look at the size of the first metal band under the yellow plug area... the dsm are much shorter. also the dsm have a much larger chamfer in the body before they narrow towards the end.

TMS pulled them for me from an RB and they def flow the proper 444 or I would be lean.......
