Ok heres the deal, ive got an RB25 with a mapped RB20 ecu running the show, VCT is not operational and it has never really fazed me since with the decent tune on there its got loads more down low then the old rb20 anyway. I have since added a GCG supplied GT3071R with internal gate, it has the GCG cast .71 AR rear housing (a copy of the OP6 housing if you will)

On boost, the car is an animal! goes pretty damn hard, makes 265 rwkw on 16 psi and 283 rwkw on 20 psi, since its a stock internal motor i keep the boost to 16, and i find its more then enough power anyway, BTW its a drift car.

Heres my issue, i do find that down low suffers a little, its a little laggy and i dont believe its the turbo's fault but more or less a fault of not running VCT.

I was thinking of adding some Jun spec 254 cams with 8.9mm lift. to improve the low to mid power range which is what im after, as peak power is plenty atm.

Thoughts?

Sounds like a good idea. As your not running the VCT, you could either, buy two exhaust cams, or make an adjustable camwheel out of the VCT camwheel(by elongating the bolt holes that secure the outer to the inner) I would try modifying and playing with the cam timing first, maybe just a cam on the intake, dialled in on the dyno would be all thats necessary

keep stock cams

get VCT working with an aftermarket cam controller if you have to

tune the crap out of the low load ign timing - 7x7 should do it on the IGN map - go as far as 50deg in some spots with 100ron and youll love it

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 馃槂

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
