Haha that's a good question. Dont intend to race the car atm. But in the distant future I may go up to 500+bhp and was wondering if it's worth a purchase then

That's impressive!

So not at all worth it is what I'm hearing haha. At what power figure are cams even worth considering?

Thanks man but could you provide any info? Hard to compare the two with no figures. Going for bang for buck

Hyper gear. Fmic. Z32 maf. Coil packs. 740cc Injectors. Apexi pfc. Full 3.5 exhuast. Ebc. Then a tune. Might be missing something else. That's the list, currently deployed so spending my downtime day dreaming and making a list of items for my r33. I guess my question should be this- let's say with those mods making 270rwkws what can I expect to see from an adjustable cam gear vs. Tomei poncams? 10kws here vs 15 there? Rough estimates will do, much appreciated

Looking for more bang for buck here. Goal is 270rwkws w/stock internals rb25det and I'd imagine close to 20psi. With all the other obvious bolt ons taken care of- what will give me a better power curve for the money? An adjustable exhaust cam gear or drop in tomei poncams? Or better to just save money and spend elsewhere? I think I'd be happy with at least 10kws gained in the band, but more than that and I'd definitely buy one or the other depending on the answers I get. Cheers

Much appreciated!

Actually just found this. Thinking I'll get the N1 pump and recommended block/restrictors. Will this be enough for road use or should I do one of the many other recommded mods? Thanks

Currently deployed and am making a "budget" shopping list for a 270rwkw build on my ecr33 4dr when I return home. Have been digging through this forum and others (using the search tab of course). I have the bare essentials, but i want to make this build as reliable as possible without breaking the bank. My question is, for strictly street use and an occasional heavy foot, what is absolutely necessary to do to the rb25det for the oil issues it has? I was thinking just putting in smaller restrictors, maybe drilling out the current drains a little bigger, and a newer oil pump to replace the less reliable unit that comes stock. Are these mods good enough for street use? Should I do more or something else? Also, whats a good oil pump for my needs? I don't want anything crazy, just more durable. I've seen a lot of threads about this, but they really only pertain to drag/track/etc. Thanks in advance

If I go boost t how do I not be a retard? I hear they can cause boost spike and creap. How do I avoid the downsides?

Thanks everyone for the advice. I’ll look for a 2nd hand power fc and go with a boost t. How do I avoid the boost spike and boost creep that I may get with the boost t?

I’m definitely getting it tuned no matter what I do and I don’t want to push the turbo beyond 12 psi

I’m gonna have to get use to reading and typing Kw instead of hp soon haha

You don’t run an aftermarket ecu with that setup? I’m looking to make about 20 more hp at the wheels than that

I’m in no rush to start this build I just want it planned out. Okinawa is still about 1000 miles away from mainland
