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

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
