Higher lift help a lot with power and maybe a little response but longer duration is a massive detriment to response, it's actually surprising how little duration it takes to have a big effect  

Its also suprising how little duration you need to make big power..

there is so many overcammed rbs going around..people like to point out peak figures..it means shit..its all about the power under the curve and how wide it is with a h pattern!

cheers

So what would be your recommendation for cams. For the type of setup discussed in this thread. 2.6l, e85, 750-800hp turbo. Going for 500kw at all fours?

mine made 500kw on JEM's dyno with just a set of HKS drop in 256 cams 8.7mm lift

the problem with going bigger lift is the costs start to go up cause you need to mess around with the head even more

i was actually very surprised the cams didnt 'hold back' power as I was originally told go with 272 cams

JEM told me - lift makes power - duration moves the power up and down the rev range...

Agree totally ^^

People are too quick to throw big lift/duration cams in these days to the point of even making up custom high lift/low duration and bashing the valve train unnecessarily when there is more important things to sort out.

Ive made 5540wkw on a portedhead with 256 9.5mm kelfords (basically poncams)  Smart money gets spent where the greatest gains per dollar are first [emoji16]


What's does your fuel system consist of, if it's not a secret?

Fire hose style lines and had to eliminate the injectors all together as they were providing a restriction just straight fuel line in the intake manifold does the trick for this bad boy

I should point out that this is not regarding any particular car. Just want to see experienced people's views. It seems that high mount twins are dead as dead can be. Low mounts are old tech.

My car will be getting a pair of low mount Gtx units. In search of 450awkw. The cost of engineering papers puts a high mount single out of reach.

so do you want feelings or factual numbers? because depending on a few factors their result will probably vary from yours.

I suppose numbers would be more useful. Different drivers will describe feelings differently. I have now been forced to go the single turbo rout. Going for the precision. So numbers would be great.

Holy, phone typo induces mass hysteria!

We were all very impressed and kinda worshipped you for a while. Thanks for ruining it.

So what sort of fuel system are you running. Fuel pump and injector size? Please

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
