Changing the Cams should give you more low down power. A lightened Flywheel will let it rev quicker which should get it into boost quicker. Im running a lightened flywheel and i think there is a big difference. My mates R32 doesnt react as quick when taking off and the revs go up so much quicker on the run.

try cam gears.. worked well for me, basically shifted my whole power curve left :(

otherwise, the usual exhaust mods should help

oh, and throw in some more base timing

:(

What cams?? They brought boost on earlier im guessing by ur comment?

Thats what im looking for, not somethin to give me heaps more top end but abit more low down.

Otherwise i may just chuck the rb20 n go rb25 coz its such a pig off boost hahahaha

Waz, for some reason I thought u were running gtr cams?

i am, but i also run adjustable cam gears

but i don't think the cams contribute to off boost performance, more the cam gears that adjust the cam position...

which was what i was trying to say...

How much money are you willing to spend? At the end of the day the little RB20 will never be a great off boost performer. Cam gears, and tune may give you a little bit more in the mid, say 5kws??? But at what price.

Throw on a baby steel wheel turbo, run 15psi and run the ECU, fuel pup and bolt ons needed. By this time you have spent well in excess of 6k...and you will still have nothing off boost. Its a 1350 (driver, fuel etc) car with a little low compression 2L....sadly you can thave everything :P

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
