Finally got the Tomei 260 duration with 9.15mm lift (IN/EX) Poncams installed and tuned yesterday.... I must say that these were are worthy upgrade, not only did it make more power from Idle to rev limit, but also brought the power on earlier!!!

Mods include common upgrades (PFC, 720cc inj, Nismo AFM, full exhaust no cat standard dumps ;) , 044 pump, Trust T517Z8cm2 turbos etc...)

Power before cams: 335rwkws (20psi)

Power after cams: 365 rwkws (20psi)

Very happy with the result, was expecting around 15rwkws increase so to get an extra 30rwkws was music to my ears!!!!

Trying to dig up the old dyno sheet (335rwkws), but here's the new one for now..

Now to really impress all you guys I got Ben (Racepace) with a lot of arm twisting to do a run in 'shoot out' mode... With my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) shootout mode has a different inertia setting (100 compared to 0) and also adjusts the air and intake temps....

Here's the result:

WOW!!! Where did the extra 31rwkws come from???? Reason for this graph to try to point out to Stacey (two.06l) what the difference between 'shootout' and 'non-shootout' figures are...

And finally for pnblight and all the boys out west:

Dyno figures to me are more of a tuning tool, not to show how big your wanger is as each dyno is different to others. As long as you keep using the same dyno to monitor gains/losses through ugrades, and more importantly to make sure ur engine survives!!!!

P.S No harm inteneded in any way, shape or form to anybody mentioned in this thread.....

nice one mate. from the third graph, i must say your wang is at least 16inches on the slack... hmmm.

seriously though, that is a nice looking curve. was there any tuning needed with the new cams? (i'm guessing yes). if you know, what power did they make when first installed (ie no tuning changes), also was there any fiddling with cam gears to change the power delivery or were they pretty spot on at 0 and 0?

enjoy ;)

Beer Baron, just with the cam install (no tuning) I think the power went to 348rwkws, will have to confirm with Ben....

I know he definetly tweaked with the cam settings and tuned to suit to get the 365rwkws...

Not sure with cam gear settings either, but he definetly played around with them....

G'day Jack!

I have also recently had a set of these cams fitted with, like you the assoc. goodies to go along with it, and will post full results shortly...(need a stronger clutch before going to 1.4 BAR)

I would like to hear back from you (as would others) as to the settings used by Ben for the cams... I currently have 0 0 set but I am running HKS GT-SS turbos, so there may be a difference there....

BTW what are the TRUST turbos rated at?

cheers!

Wow, thats some serious power, now to put in your sig '400kw@wheels' just to make sure people know your wang is big. j/k

Good to see real word differences between normal mode and shootout mode on bens dyno.

williamsf1 - I'm not too sure with cam settings, but I'll find out and report back... These turbos are rated at 320hp each....

R32-GTS - boost is set at 20psi

ferni - just wanted to 'enlighten' people to the differences in dyno graphs getting around the forums.... I'll have to take u for a burl on the next track day!!!

Nice one Jack. Dyno graphs ain't dyno graphs as they say.

May be time to throw in a PFC and injectors and get a little extra myself, Benno alluded to a bit of a lumpy idle at Sandown (and it seems that way) but no idea what's in there as far as cams go. Could have used some more oomph yesterday.

williamsf1 - I'm not too sure with cam settings, but I'll find out and report back... These turbos are rated at 320hp each....

R32-GTS - boost is set at 20psi

For sure, its good to see side by side shootout vs normal dyno sheet... Would of been good to get Ben to also do another run with the IT temp sensor stuck inside the pod filter at 50deg or something stupid ;)

Looking forward to the ride... hopefully the cooler pipes stay on this time - did you get them fixed up? ;)

super impressed with the result for 320hp turbos!!! my GTSS are supposedly similar in output, so interesting times ahead!!!

I take it stock 80k odd engine also?

can't wait to hear about cam timing.... it is certainly opening up a can of worms up this way!

Jagr33 very nice

I copied the shit that it can't have done that but you have prove it that a nice combo well tuned, will make the numbers and the only different i see is that i got garrets and jagr33 is running trust turbos. Good shit and enjoy as i have done hehe. Whats 2.1 rwhp between friends you must be loving buying the tomie poncams cams YES?HEHEHE

I put a set of PONCAMS into my 180 and got similar results.. Now with the GTR I am considering going for even more lift than the PONCAM can offer, in terms of percentage increase I want to go with the PROCAM 260 deg 10.8mm lift, keep my boost at 1.2 bar and try and get some more power in the mid range and hopefully drop my max torque from the current 6000rpm that it is now.. This is really good to see the PONCAM increase so that I can more understand what to expect from the PROCAMs.. I will be running desktop dyno simulations soon, I did some for the SR20 and the results were very similar, so I am hoping that I can get good results with the RB26 model that I am working on..

I wonder if 10.8mm is too much lift??

PS. Your schwartz is also long like your wang.

rob 82 - sorry no graph of power vs torque

ferni - yeah cooler pipe sorted, especially after about 20 runs on the dyno!!!!

purple32 - cheers mate, will have to organise a cruise soon....

williamsf1 - engine has forges pistons and metal headgasket, about 2,000k's old... intersted to see how you go with your setup, keep us posted!!!

Morgs - contemplating on taking it out to see what time she pulls, although my car is a dedicated track/circuit car, and also don't want to munch the gearbox.. I know, excuses, excuses!!!!!

pnblight - thanx mate, thought I'd chuck in the last graph for you westies to understand and compare....

Yorik - I know of a local car running exact same setup as me but with 10.8mm lift 260 Procams, not sure on power output, but these cams obviously need modification/machining of the head to accomodate...

Be interesting to see your results....

No machining necessary, change the springs to Tomei Type A, change lifters to Solid type and reshim accordingly. Which I am more than happy to do as I am lifting the head to change to a stainless gasket anyway.,. Also putting in the Oil restrictor at the same time amongst other things.

That car that you know of, it would be good to know what sort of power range it has, not so much power output, but the usable range, maybe even compared to yours.. I won;t be doing this to my car for a while, but you can be sure there will be full details..

    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I elongate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for?   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance
