Dilema: Turbo or Cams

[Bass Junky]

Well, I'm in two minds over this.

Go for new or re-built turbo, or throw in some tasty Poncams....

Looking for all round driveability and response.

Ideas?

[meggala]

go for a new turbo and the pon cams your car justifies a new turbo cause its fairly new

s/hand turbo's are ok fo rolder cars ie r32's etc

cheers

[Bass Junky]

Nah, I mean this

High-Flow (or re-built) existing turbo.

Or

New HKS or Garrett turbs

Or

Poncams

I'd be going for a turbo update. Depends on how big you wallet is too how far you want to go.

[rb25]

depending on current mods, the cams will be cheap compared to a turbo/manifold/wastegate/fuel system. plus when you do the turbo you'll already have the cams in place.

You get more bang for you buck in a turbo change.

[R33vit]

A set of cams may improve your engines responce

Depends what you wanna do with your car

DRAG

Circuit

Yo bass, done the exhaust yet? Turbo or cat back?

If you have done cat back, then it's time for a ball bearing hi flow.

[Bass Junky]

Current mods include

Cam gear (does **** all, gonna set it back to zero when I have a chance)

Exhaust from Front pipe back.

Bleed valve set just before boost cut (12psi?)

HKS front mount

Power FC in cupboard waiting to be installed.

Hi flow turbo would be my next move, with a split dump at the same time (saves taking it off twice).

[Bass Junky]

Thanks SK

:werd: turbo is better value for money without a doubt

[GTRgeoff]

If you are keen to update the turbo, have a chat to Rob from Creatd Performance. There have been reports of the R33 hi flows surging and he has an alternative solution, but worth a chat anyway.

be differnt go the cams there cheaper and know one does it. I want to see how a stock turbo camed car goes. Would be cool to get mid to high 12's and say yea im still running stock turbo. plus you shouldnt have to upgrade injectors with cams, were's if ya get a turbo, to get a good gain you would have to upgrade to be safe.

[SLY33]

hi-flow or equivalent std mount turbo. more bang for buck, drivability is more than adequate on rb25's without cams IMO. Also SK is never wrong!

[Bass Junky]

260 DEG 9.15mm inlet

260 DEG 9.15mm exhaust

Would these be a worthwhile upgrade os should I go bigger if I was going to buy some????

ALSO, do the R34 GTR cams suit the R34 GT-T

What is the best cam profile for everyday driving and some drag work and drifting and track work.

Cams - while cheap, wont offer a hell of a lot of performance with a stock turbo.

A difference yeah, but when you can make 250-300rwkw quite easily, without doing the CAMS... then it's $$$ that can be spent on things like injectors etc etc

[rev210]

how about a carbon fibre tail shaft?

Save a massive 8kgs off the rotational mass. Big increase in response accelleration and engine braking. Should be about $2k or so for a custom unit.

[Bass Junky]

I was waiting for a Rotational Mass comment from you rev210.

I put the Ogura flywheel on. NICE
