upgrading to lets say tomei stage 1 proncams would give you more lift and duratiopn and that'll improve mid-top range! but cam gears allow you to adjust them to bring boost on earlier and so, but i'm no guru so someone else might have to explain! but my plan is to just get an exhaust cam gear and run the standard cams which i was told it'll be better for the power i'm aiming for!

how much of a difference would cams and cam gears make?

sorry to steal your thread but since its about lag and power

how would a gt3540 off an xr6t go on an rb25?

the gt35/40 from a xr6 is too big for a standard engine coz i think it runs a 1.06 rear exhaust housing internal gate, to make it more responsive maybe put a .63 exhaust housing on it

ive got a gt35/40 .82 housing and external gate on my forged rb25 engine and its still laggy even with cams and cam gears, what brings my boost on quicker is my 6boost exhaust manilfold but when it comes on to boost at about 3,700/4000rpm it hits HARD!!!!

do aftermarket exhaust manifolds make much difference? any1 selling a decent one?

they suppose to give you better flow but are only worth upgrading to if you want a top mount turbo set up or using a bigger turbo on a lowmount setup, ive noticed the stainless steel manifolds crack around the welds, but they give ya exhaust note a crisper sound

if u wanna go aftermarket get a tune lengthed manifold made of steampipe

on a internally standard motor stick with the standard cast manifold and if u wanna run a bigger turbo use a spacer plate

the gt35/40 from a xr6 is too big for a standard engine coz i think it runs a 1.06 rear exhaust housing internal gate, to make it more responsive maybe put a .63 exhaust housing on it

Ahh I see, I'm not chasing too much power, id be happy with around 250ish at the wheels with response on standard block... trying to get the car setup for track/hill climb. Working on a budget and xr6t gt3540's seem to go fairly cheap.

better off buying my gt30 hiflow and u will get 250 easy and not even much lag.

haha sounds good but i don't think i have the $$ you'd be chasing atm... just blew a load of cash on brakes and suspension upgrades hehe

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
