Take care of michaels car :thumbsup:

good friend of mine

So bro, (op)

What happened to making the decision yesterday?

You have all the information in the world. All of us have elaborated so much in this thread, that you should know by now what you would much rather want.

Have the invoice on my work desk. Will be paying for a set of -9s first thing tomorrow morning

Ahh thats the michael u mean. Bout to start swapping his turbo's over. Then injectors and a tune. Should make a little bit more than the 210kw he has at the moment

No Greddy dump/front pipe extension. Standard AFM maxing and I didn't want to push past it. I'm happy with what it makes and it pulls like a f**king train all the way to redline. Thinking of going Nismo AFM later and playing with the cam gears a bit more to make it more responsive, while making a bit more power.

Which is what I don't have. Need to sort out a big 4" high flow cat or something.

You should be into the 300s with 19psi

That would be choking your setup and a quick simple install and retune and car will feel

Even better

Okay, bumping up this old thread!

-9's look like the best for the response.

However, if someone was to go -5's and threw in some Tomei Type R cams, would we still be talking about this huge lag?

I'm pretty new to this, but I would think a set of cams built for response could indeed reduce this lag? Maybe even Mine's cams hehe

You simply won't be able to to put cams in to combat the size of the turbos when talking about those two choices. Yes that big difference in lag will always be there although you may reduce it by a bit It's not going to go away completely and won't ever be equal between the two turbo choices

A set of -9's and low duration cams would be heaps for the street.

However, if someone was to go -5's and threw in some Tomei Type R cams, would we still be talking about this huge lag?

Larger cams will not magically give you 500rpm better response on the street or on/off throttle.

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
