Looking For 350rwhp+ In My Gtr

[Topaz]

Currently 293hp as my sig tells. Tell me if I am under/over exaggerating the 350hp figure with the following....

I am at the start of my quest for more HP sauce...and by "at the start" I really mean it. I still have to get the money for this too . I am looking at doing this mid next year at the latest and thats with leeway for any financial mishaps along the way.

OK, I was quoted $1600 for a replacement PFC + controller (not Apexi I don't think) installed and dyno tuned by Ken and the guys at Hyperdrive (I hope that offer still stands or becomes less within 10 months or so)...reasonable, but for increasing the boost (currently at 11PSI) I will need internals, so I was thinking cams will give me a bit more strength in the engine

As I said I don't think its an Apexi, so I might jump on a group buy for the Apexi later on if one crops up

What price am I looking at for a set of cams...I hear Tomei are good!, are they top of the line or just good for the money?

My GTR currently has:

T3 turbos (I think from an R34 GTR)

3" Mandrel bent exhaust

freshly rebuilt late last year

any info appreciated

cheers

you'll make 350 on stock turbos.

PFC and a cam gear is all you should need

[Tommyk]

Boost and a proper tune (PFC) is all you will need for 350rwhp

You will probably find that isnt enough

[Topaz]

so I can save money on the cams! or will they allow more boost?

[R31Nismoid]

more boost? ?

no, you just need a cam gear really is using stock turbos.

using bigger turbos then yeah cams would be worthwhile investment

[Bass Junky]

Go the cams. Why not eh!

....$1600 for a replacement PFC + controller (not Apexi I don't think) .... As I said I don't think its an Apexi, so I might jump on a group buy for the Apexi later on if one crops up ....

ok, so I just need a cam gear....one of those purple and blue round thingy that sits at the front of the engine ....well, I happen to have a rough estimate at $350 for one of those...that sound about right!

so PFC (probably Apexi then...) and a cam gear with about 13-14PSI of boost should get me 350rwhp...ok, thanks for that

So it should set me back $2000 ($50 fuel there and back )

you can get one made that isnt shiny for like $150 if your real tight
