Lets Talk Mid Range

[Hadouken]

Hi all

Getting the good old 100k service soon and thought to myself let's beef up that mid range a little.

We're talking -9's with the basics

My sig tells all.

Now my afms maxed out, but I feel that it should be fine unless I want to go over 300kw.

Basically at the time of the 100k service I was thinking of throwing on some adjustable cam gears and tune adjusted.

Will it be fine you reckon?

Or should I just pull my finger out and call my tuner? Haha.

[DVS JEZ]

Yes definately get cam gears whilst the timing belt is off

[infamous_t]

With R34 GTR turbos, tweaking the adjustable cam gears (with stock cams) gave me more power/torque everywhere, and brought boost on ~600rpm earlier

[Hadouken]

Yes that's exactly what I'm thinking. If I get more peak power as well then how will my stupid afms keep up?

So I had to drop some cash money on afms?!

+1 CAM GEARS

my old gtr setup with -7's had the cam gears tuned for midrange rather than outright power, certinaly felt good to drive on the street, especialy around the twisties like nato park etc

im an idiot for not putting cam gears in my new gtr, so im doing that very soon to beef up the midrange aswell

[SiR_RB]

tune around your AFM's

[Hadouken]

Understood. I can't wait to do can gears.

What else can we talk about? Haha

[N1GTR]

Drop in Tomei type B cams. Add cam gears. If you're thinking about more changes later, may as well throw in an ECU with Map and then not need the AFM's anymore.

Or, the non budget option; stroker motor time.

[Hadouken]

Lol, wish that was on the table haha.

Nah man, I've sealed my fate with the power fc. It would have been smart to go map from the start!

[Hadouken]

Hmmm... Now we're getting serious. I would like to keep it relatively simple until my engine goes!

[levinboy]

Cam gears are a must one of the best mods you could do, once set up and adjusted properly

Bite the bullet and upgrade your AFMs you know you want to

[Hadouken]

Lol, I know I want to :S. so exxy

[levinboy]

Lol, I know I want to :S. so exxy

I believe there are a few NISMO AFMs for sale 2nd hand in the for sale section

Straight plug and play with the Nismos, I have Z32s in mine and there is a little caressing to get them in and new plugs ofcourse

Bite the bullet and Piss off your AFM's, you know you want to

Fixed

What are people dialing in on their cam gears, i've seen some -7s setup making 230kw!! by 4000rpm and most making around 180-190.

my old setup with -7's, stock cams + greddy cam gears were dialed in to 4degrees advance intake - 4 degrees retard exhaust tuned for midrange, managed 296rwkw at 19psi

[SS8_Gohan]

which reminds me, i still have my Nismo AFM's ... should probably get around to selling those

or you could go MAP sensor - do the numbers on selling AFM's and Power FC, you might find the Link G4(you're Unigroup so i'm going Link) is not much extra at the end of the day

You sound like a broken record. You say that so much

[Hadouken]

haha, you guys.

Lets crunch some numbers

Nismo afms - US$800 + tune up

SELL

Powerfc - $750

AFMS - $300 (would keep afms for stock air box purposes)

--------------------> $1050 $750

BUY

Powerfc Djetro - $1000

whole new tune + installation - $800 - $1000

-------------------------------------------------------------> $1800

$1800 -

$750

$1100...... extra - tune up. So lets say $800

Or $800 for afms.

Shit, haha. I think Ill just be that looser guy not running map

[XRATED]

Just buy a pair of rb20 afms.... they'll support 400rwkw, same size as z32's and you don't have to touch the wiring (they plug straight in).

$300 delivered!
