How much power do you want? Have you got a great suspension set up and good brakes?

For more power forget the cams and plenum and get E85 and turn up the boost (and get a top tune) and if that"s not enough upgrade your turbo.

Bigger cams will only move the power to the right on the graph. Yes there may be a tad more of it but you will loose a whole lot down low. Same goes for putting a different plenum on. So its a trade off. May be worth it, may not, depends on exactly what you want to do with the car.

Also note that if you upgrade to the wrong cams (generally anything massive) you will need to delete the VCT solenoid on the intake, which will also hurt low down torque and power. I think the HKS 256mm drop in does let you retain vct? (someone would have to confirm that) so that, or one tha tdoes, pretty much the only one you should realistically go with

I already have all that I'm using your turbo the atr45 externally gated.. I have a greedy Cooler and 3inch exhaust all the way through

I'm making 336rwkws on P98 fuel internally gated with exhaust dropped @ 22psi with the same turbo on stock cams, it is capable of making alot more then 300rwkws on P98 fuel with stock cams. There is a simple way of checking to see what you need. Take it back to the tuner to do a simple dyno run with exhaust dropped and do a pressure check across the cooler when its at full boost (check my thread). Also if you are running the JJR's 6 bolt Nissan front pipe, make sure the 6 bolt flange is die-grinded to suit factory dump pipe gasket.

If its showing its holding alot more boost that mades more power with dropped exhaust it means some thing in the exhaust is restrictive. Or if seeing 30psi before the cooler and 20psi after you will need a bigger cooler.

Having the bigger cams without the system been able to flow that extra bit of air, it will make absolutely no differences to peek power.

fuuark it... might as well brag:

R33 Series 2 GTS-t with over 300000km (Edward Lee's Special Edition, dash says 157xxx)

  • Stock Motor with (most likely) 350000km, based on wear and tear of interior, bushing etc.
  • Stock cams
  • Stock valve springs
  • Stock valve seals
  • Stock head
  • Stock head gasket
  • Stock bottom end
  • Stock intake manifold
  • Stock exhaust manifold with havoc gate modification

I run camtech 272 9mm lift while retaining vct still, picked up about 45hp over stock cams and didnt shift the rpm too much as i kept the vct still...

but it isnt a cheap upgrade bit over 2k, prob find cheaper upgrades to gain 50hp..

Nice.

But he needs cams and a bigger turbo because of this:

^^^^ Much better daily

:yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

I was thinking 30 bottom end but I already have forged Pistons and stuff in the 25.. E85 more boost would be good but don't have e85 in Wollongong where I live.. So cams was the optiion and maybe a plenum.. I will do what you said stao and I will look into it! Thanks guys appreciate the feedback!

Another question my tuner said he doesn't want to run more then 20psi on my car because it's on 98 it's safe tuned can I run more?

    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day. 
    • It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?
    • Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.
    • Agreed it actively wants to kill you which I love driving fast cars slow is my stick
    • Awesome! I was thinking S14 since they are longer. I'll give those a shot. Thanks for the input!
