Are they both using the same turbo's?

 

Obviously if a turbo is at the edge of its efficiency then a set of cams will do wonders, cams reduce the amount of boost required to flow x amount of air.

 

To make more power you can either use a larger laggier turbo or start looking in to improving air flow in to the pots.

No, there not using the same turbo, I have a GT30, and robs is the TD06. Even he will agree that his is laggier than mine.

The point that we were trying to make is that SK comment

My experience has been that the standard camshafts are the most likely first limiter over 250 rwkw. They simply don't have enough lift or duration to let the air into the engine. Sure you can turn the boost up and try and squeeze some more air in, but you will get higher inlet air temps and lower efficiency.

doesn't always hold true. On stock cams mine has made 330rwkw and still hasn't fallen off at 8000rpm. That's not to suggest that most RB25's don't do what SK suggests though, but cams may not be the only restriction.

I haven't had any port work done yet. just want to see how far I can go with the stock cams.

and its still using standard injectors and cams?

We're using GTR injectors now, although we could have got the stockies to this level, we knew that seeing as we're pushing for 500rwhp that they wouldn't last. Just need to fit an 044 pump as I'm sucking the pump dry:(

GTS-t Vspec,

You are definately missing out on not having some higher lift/longer duration cams in your engine. You will make more power and the inlet temps will not be as high, it's just physics. There are always two ways to make good power. So far you have chosen the hard way trying to see how much power you can make on standard cams. For the rather small outlay you could pick up so much performance. I'd like to see you crack a 12 second pass, you've been waiting so long for it so I reckon you should treat yourself to some nice camshafts :P

Dave, Sure I could put a set of cams in, and make alot more power, but I just wanted to show that it's not necessary to make decent power and not run out of puff at 6500rpm. I'll do an 11sec pass with stock cams just for you;)

You go for it, it's not the way I would do it. But hell, give it a go, maybe you will be the first person in the world to do an 11 on standard cams. :( I really don't know whether anyone else has ever done it. I do know a black R34 GTT that did an 11.6 with 50 bhp less than you. But it had 260 Tomei Poncams in it, so it doesn't count.

But on to more serious matters...

the engine had only been rebuilt 2 days earlier

What happened?

I have no doubt of its potential.

I cant pull on it with 4 people in my car yet i can easily walk away from other reasonably quick cars(low 13's etc) as if they standing still.. once again with a full load.

What speculation you want on his HP.. if you'd see it you'd believe it.

THing is Sydneykid is we have cars out there,You rewrite other PPLs storys as your own.

Facts Steve, I only deal in facts. And the fact here is the R34 GTT did an 11.6 with 50 bhp less. Whether I wrote the story or someone else did is irrelevant.

i seem to recall use of slicks.. and bits breaking..

Yep summoner 50% correct, my suspension set up got the traction and squat so good that a driveshaft became the weakest link. But the fastest run was on Nitto's, not slicks.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
