1) SARDs are "generally" OK being a drop in injector that re-uses the old plugs

2) Camshafts? Might as well get the Tomei Poncam + Gear package if you got $5k to play with

3) Nismo / Tomei fuel pump will kick Bosch ass anyday

4) Nismo FPR (straight bolt on to the factory fuel rail)

Sards are not direct fit from what i saw. I watched them being installed onto a GTR two weeks ago :)

Was a bit of farting around to get the connector to fit, least they are not as bad as years ago... if you count that as a good thing

Cams for 300rwkw you wont need i dont think cost vs gain the cam gears come out clear winners for a couple hundred.

Dont see how one fuel pump is better than another, especially when price comes into it

I also doubt you'll need an FPR. Stock ones are fine.

Hanyou, send a pm to ferni, find out his setup as he has around 300rwkw on stock AFM/injectors.

Cheers

So the plugs need to be changed / adapted with the SARDs?

I'd go for the camshafts - 300rwkw + high flowed turbos will be more than enough to make use of the cams (I'm only talking about Poncams here 260 degree 9.15mm lift).

Fuel pump; Tomei and Nismo take 20minutes to install... Bosch pumps take more because 1) there is no bracket; 2) you have to locate a good place for fuel pickup that will also reach the bottom 3) you need to do new wiring (possibly even the constant voltage trick). For the extra $200 I would get a pump that is completely drop in with nothing to worry about.

FPR is not required; agreed. Nonetheless - not a bad thing to have if you want to push out that little bit extra or set a base pressure to go by - I know of a few tuners who do this.

I'd be looking at a catch can system as well - quite a few GTRs with 300rwkw start to experience oil problems (especially those that see a lot of track time).

Yeah from what i saw :huh:

Needed some love, wasnt a direct fit, and, even with the mod... i wouldnt be confident of them not presenting issues further in time

ive decided cam gears will be enough, i've pm'd ferni about his setup as well. however id be assuming that the injectors/fuel pump would be running right to their limit?.

another question: do injectors need to be fitted same time with engine management?.

back onto the fuel pump topic. the only reason i was gna opt for the nismo/tomei pump was due to there is no sock thats attatched to the bosch?. ive had a 040 in my r33 gtst before didnt have any problems. i guess it just comes down to who installs it?

Get the engine management and the injectors put in at the same time and save of installation/tuning costs unless you install the ECU yourself (I did with my PFC) and run on the base map for a short while.

f**k pfc get a wolf v500 $1795.00

Real helpful

things i think you need.

nismo pump

sard 700cc injectors (they are pretty much a direct fit on RB26, perhaps you will need new o-rings, but i have seen people re-use them).

tomei poncams 260/9.15mm (get the set with pulleys, it's cheap)

Apexi Power FC

and a good boost controller if you don't have one already. easy as pie. and the nismo pump and power FC you can install yourself to save a couple of bucks.

AFM.s You will need the RB25 or Z32 Type...Plus adaptors....

Or if you have the money...Nismo type...same size as yours...fit on and tune

Sorry, but you are wrong. Unless hanyou's AFM's are already on the way out there is no need to change them.

offnsv: have you got a part number for those injectors? thanks

ill stick with the nismo pump option then since i can do it myself lol.

can someone explain the difference between poncams and cams? or are they the same thing?..

if i could save money on just using cam gears to hit my power level it would be better for me as i could get some rims.. LOL

poncams=cams. it's just tomei's name for their bolt in camshaft range.

i'm not sure how well these turbos perform so it's hard to say, but it certainly is possible to get 300rwkw without cams as long as you have the right turbos and run enough boost through them.

personally I would buy the cams and gears together from tomei. the set is quite cheap for what you get.

    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
    • I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
