I've read a few threads from a year ago about people asking about the HKS V-cam. But considering it was relatively new, there wasn't much info on people actually using them.

Now it's been out on the market for a while know, have people been able to see valuable improvements on the road from such a setup?

And do you need to run a HKS ECU?

Can you use it with a powerFC?

Anyone in Aus actually using one in SAU?

BTW

For memory the above results are from a 2.8 HKS Stroker Motor with a T04Z... So not really your average motor and its not really shoing "real world" results if you will...

So i dont know if a $4000 part is really bang for you buck unless you have built/modified basically everything else.

For me it depends what comes with the kit an avg set of cams and adjustable cam wheels are between 1000-1500 so really only 2.5k more then you would normaly pay.

Edit: well after reading more it seems you only replace one cam(inlet) with V-cam

:whistling:

Like i said it almost seems like a mod that you do when you have nothing else left to mod.

If you do end up doing it though, look forward to seeing the results.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.

      Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.

      Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".

      Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.

      Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
