so if i look from under the bonnet down between them i should see something?

its a very tight gap

but you can make it out if you look at the right angle

its on a plate, in between the turbos two housings. aka the core

Try a search. The tooth section of the cam gear wears very quickly because it is soft aluminium.

Also whilst you are arsing about with the gears change the belt & think about changing the water pump.

I think you have your wires slightly crossed, the older style of HKS cam gears were indeed prone to tooth wear, but the newer design (current model) are made from the same Duralumin alloy that the Tomei Cam Gears are made from.

Ok now i know ull say search but alot of things goes over my head.

Im about to spend a bit of cash on my GTR and im just after a little advice on wheather im doing the right thing or not and getting the best bang for my buck.

I have a GTR R33

Mods

Trust intercooler

3 1/2 Kakimoto 06&R cat back system

Just Jap front pipe

N1 Steel Turbos (believed)

Blitz PODS

Oil Catch Can

Now im thinking (Ive read and have thought these sounded the best for price) of getting these

Power FC and Controller $ 796

Greddy PRofec B Spec II $ 336

HKS Cam Gears $ 324

Total $1456

Plus tune of course.

Would that all go well together??? Any thing you would change etc....

Advice would be great!

-Install a Supercharger for low RPM then the turbos kick in at the mid high RPM

OR

-Install a NOS Kit

:banana::):(

Just get the boost controller and Power FC controller and/or upgrade the flywheel.

Yeah sorry old info I guess. I saw some over the weekend advertised as duralium.

So I guess they have fixed it.

Million dollar quesrion: How do you pick the difference between the two?

Bought some Tomei cam gears

You need to focus on fuel before you throw money away on things like cam gears. If you really do have N1 turbos and you buy a PowerFC you're going to have your injectors maxed out before you will make much power.

Fuel is the pre-requisite to making power and should be your objective before things like cam gears. Injectors and a fuel pump.

I use SARD injectors and Nismo fuel pumps and recommend them.

Correct about the stock inj...they will be fine for the power you are looking at making. Might be worth getting them flow tested though.

Go the PFC...cam gears....boost control....K&N filter and you should see 250kw at the wheels at around 14-15psi. Just make sure you do indeed have steel wheeled turbos :D

Thanks mate...

Does anyone know are cam gears a defect in SA?

Just got the tomei ones and they look to nice to be hidden, so was thinking a clear cam cover but if there a defect ill keep them hidden... lol

Where do ou get the profec b for 336?

Also you should upgrade your fuel reg. To an adjustable nismo fuel reg one that replaces the oem one so u dont have to max out your injector cylce and u can bump the fuel rail pressure up so it is all safe. There only $200 buks too from memory mate. :wave:

also from memory it possible to make 300kw or close to on n1's with power fc, full exhaust dumps to rear, boost controller, fuel reg, maybe new fuel pump just be safe, small cams + cam gears and bigger front mount BUT most of all it depends on tune and conditon of engine and n1's mate :wave:

    • That’s a beautiful setup Tao, Have u done any development with the new Turbosmart 40mm electronic straight gate, especially in this G30 configuration?
    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)
