    He also added when I questioned lift. This is the max valve lift you can run for a drop in RB26 cam, we allow for any differences we have seen in head castings as core shift is quite large on RB26 heads. Some other cams on the market may state a little bit more lift but it is more and likely cam lift or they may reduce the base circle, and lift the bucket higher to allow for more lift but then that defeats the purpose for a drop in cam. I thanked him for his fantastic customer service.

    He explained: Yes that is the cams, I have stated cam lift not valve lift, the link you sent through is correct for valve lift.

    I'm a bit confused as earlier in the email he refers to the cam as L182-A 264-9.2mm cams But L182-A on the site only shows 8.95/8.9mm lift. http://www.camshaftshop.com/products.php?productid=1051 A 10% gain from boost on wards would be pretty tasty...

    I said to Josh: Based on your cam recommendations, what would you expect the behavior/power/torque differences to be? He said: It will all depend where you put the cams and start moving them around on the dyno, the L182-A will come on about the same on 110 114 centrelines, you could advance both intake and exhaust and it should come on a tad earlier than you have now with the standard cams just because the extra exhaust flow will help spool the turbos, by doing this you will lose peak power though, like I said in the last email it’s give and take you will trade some bottom end for peak power or peak power for bottom end. Most guys find that medium that works for them. I then said:Would you think I'd be able to match the response but see torque gains from boost onwards? And what sort of increases are realistic with this cam? And he said: You should easily match the response and yes there will be defendant mid-range gains, we normally put the gains in the 10-12% mark for a cam of this size. That's from the expert.

    I think we can all agree that what I said was right, there are too many variables to make large sweeping statements. I've shown Josh from kelford my dyno graph and given him a list of my mods and asked him what he thinks the outcome will be so it will be interesting to get his view.
  6. No Crust Racing
    Despite the weird grammar and typos, I think I get what you're saying, less gain from improvement in airflow if it just chokes the exhaust housing/increases back pressure etc. Which is not something I'm disputing anyway? I'm simply saying, as I've always said, that it;s not as simple as CAM A will always get X result and Cam B will always get Y result. Too many variables for the sweeping statements people make.
  7. No Crust Racing
    Here's what Josh from Kelford had to say when I was questioning him. In regards to cam selection, yes you are right in some cases the bigger the cam the further up the mid-range the power will go, picking the right cam for the power level and the application is a must. Centre line of the cam shaft is one of the biggest thing when trying to bring the power on earlier, the L182-A setup intake on 108 centreline and the exhaust on 114 is where I would recommend, and then move them around a few degrees on the dyno to find the power curve that suits you. You should be able to achieve roughly the same response you are getting now with stock cams but an increase in midrange and holding to the red line, you will find the boost pressure will drop because the engine is breathing more efficiently and make similar power as before but on less boost. It’s a bit of give and take though, you get improvements by moving stock cams but from the dyno figure you have sent it did hurt the top end, if it’s a decent increase in power you are after then you will need a larger cam and more it around too suit.
  8. No Crust Racing
    Agreed.

    You're not convincing me one way or the other, there's far too many conflicting opinions and dyno sheets for there to be a clear answer to this. Every engine/turbo/cam choice/dyno read out combo seems to say slightly different things - As per the above example (which is the opposite result of many of the other examples we've also seen).
  10. No Crust Racing
    That matches up more so with what Camtech and Kelford told me. Both said that I could maintain/improve response, mid range and top end by using one of their cams - both were in the 260-264 duration range and increased lift over stock. Yet everyone here says more duration = worse response.

    A few questions for you 35 owners. - I know sound is subjective and also hard to really rate via youtube clips and the like, but is it just me or does the 35 sound really underwhelming even with an exhaust? - For those of you with a MY11 onwards, what sort of gearbox issues are you seeing, if any? - For people with at least an exhaust, intakes, tune etc, what sort of power are you seeing and how does that fair against similarly powered earlier model GT-Rs - does the gearbox really make up for the extra kerb weight? - For anyone who's had a 34 and a 35, what are the pros and cons of each in your eyes.

    Exhaust isn't actually 3" mid as thought. List updated with new parts/things removed that have sold. Removed due to upgrade/replacement. Haven't fully separated/cleaned things up yet. Can take more pics as needed. R34/RB26 - Greddy air diversion panel - $100 - Stock manifold shields - $10 - 2.75" mid pipe with flanged stock Nissan cat and basic mid muffler into 3.5" rear pipe/muffler section with cannon. Can only see a Jasma label on it - SR. Came of 34, but will fit 33 with minimal mods - $200 - R34 Standard fuel pump. $40 - Standard Cam Gears. $10 - R34 Non Vspec air guides for brakes. $200 - R34 GTT Console ilid skin, mint condition. Hinge and leg no good though. $80 - R34 GTR Intercooler, with IAT bung - $120 S13 - Free/6pack/whatever - S13 CA18 Viscous Centre and 6 bolt shafts and diff cover. - Carpet - Roof lining, - Interior light - CA18 Cam Gears - CA18 Intake Cam - CA18 AFM and plug. - a TPS - Washer fluid bottle and neck - Standard space saver. - CA18 carbon canister - Rear toe arms - Rear camber arms - Traction rods I can assist with fairly cheap postage or pickup is fine. Or take a bulk lot for cheap. Located in Wodonga.

    Long gone.

    I don't think we need reminding that the Evo is a better track car Speaking of, where do you find Evo track cars for sale. I want to swap my Silvia plus cash for one lol
  15. No Crust Racing
    I can't recall off the top of my head but I think it was something like 2 deg advanced on the intake and 4 deg retard on the exhaust.
  16. No Crust Racing
    Greddy air diversion panel now available. $100 delivered.
  17. No Crust Racing
    We've chatted, in the end I think I might try and fiddle with the cam adjustment more and leave it as is given the total cost to fit and tune vs expected gains.
  18. No Crust Racing
    not a problem for me then lol
  19. No Crust Racing
    Ahh I see. If it can be used in the Evo it's expensive. Same a GTT and GTR.
  20. No Crust Racing
    Really? I thought Mitsubishi was cheap? Or is it Evo tax?
  21. No Crust Racing
    Because torque specs are for top bloke's and rattle guns make you a real man. Edit:Apparently sau does not like colloquial terms for men who love men.... Top blokes indeed lol

    HPI make a front pipe that matches, I have it on my car to go with the big HPI dumps.
  23. No Crust Racing
    R34 here, E85 with standard lines everywhere 354rwkw. Just a basic in tank pump and some fatter injectors.
  24. No Crust Racing
    Twice as many wasps as me. They don't sound like a good fit for you if they only matched the response.
  25. No Crust Racing
    At what power/boost are we talking?
