  1. Speaking generally.. Mild Road Cam 257deg-260deg. Gives low end improvements and used in unmodified engines suitable for all car types and gives a smooth tickover. Fuel economy may actually improve and power and responsiveness will be greater. Fast Road cam 270deg-285deg. Good compromise for a road car the tick over is still fairly smooth and emissions are within legal limits. A good choice for a car used daily and for weekend track use and perfect for a hot hatch. This profile still gives reasonable fuel economy and a choppy tickover. Competition cams 290deg-320deg. The best performance profile for an engine which works continually over 3000 revs. The tickover is very lumpy and irregular and the car is lumpy to drive round town. Fuel economy is pathetic and it is unlikely that a car with this fitted will pass any kind of emissions test.
  2. Well the stock is 5-7psi so I'll be able to tell the difference after I install my gauge.. Cause I got an new HKS SSQV sittin around I just got lazy and never made a adapter/flange for it.. So if the Stock BOV woulda got damaged then it woulda been ok.. And I can STILL mess with the solenoid if I want.. It's not like doing what I did is going to hinder my from being able to do that mod.. ok.. So I dont know exactly how it works or anything like that.. I just thought since I had a an extra BOV id give it a shot.. But ya know what?? IT WORKED! I may not know exactly how much boost I'm runnin But I KNOW that theres been an increase.. I can feel it.. It's pretty noticeable.. Thanks and I'm installing the gauge today.. hopefully if time allows.. the whole Hi boost mode mod is fine but only changes your dual stage from going from 5-7psi to 7 all the time.. No real increase in anything except in your low ends.. The BOV mod gives you an increase anywhere from 10-14psi ( so i've been told, and I cant verify till I gauge it.. Dont worry I'll do it soon..) but you cant really call the guy a wanker.. From your quick rant I take it you've never tried, done, or seen it so you dont really have a place to speak on it.. But it's fine.. everyones entitled an opinion.. Im always open for FREE power power gains. Whats wrong with cheap if it works?? Not everyones got money to spend on everything so every little bit of Free gain helps us less fortunate tuners..
  3. I didnt smash the hell outta it or anything, Just put a nice lil dip in it.. But yeah. I agree on the gauge part.. I got one now I just have to install it..
  4. Yo! Whats goin on.. Jus sayin hi an postin my first Topic! haha.. Ok.. So I just got done talkin to a guy that works for Nismo.. I was pickin up a new nismo thermostat for my RB25 and we started talking about our cars.. I started talkin about the thread on here about runnin hi boost all the time by grounding the actuator solenoid but was stopped by him.. He said he knew a better way to get free boost and more of it, All you need is the stock BOV.. He stated that if you take the stock BOV and Indent the top of it you can get anywhere from 10-14psi.. Now it needs to be kinda cupped.. He said if you do it right it should look like a golf ball can sit right on top of it perfectly.. I removed the BOV and used a 3/4 open end wrench and a hammer to tap down the top of the BOV. I just set the wrench on top of the BOV and tapped it with the hammer in a circular fashion until I ended up with a nice deep "Dish" shape on top of the BOV.. I dont know how much Boost Im actually pushing now ( since I have no gauge) But the throttle response is incredible now and my high end in 2nd, 3rd and 4th are insane! Just thought I'd share.. Once I install my gauge I'll let you all know exactly how much it's pushin now. ^_^ Also... Whats your take on doin the actuator mod and runnin on HI boost all the time with this??
