  1. Have heared 2530's and -5's are pretty similar.... or is that GT-RS and -5's?

    Been told that -5's are in pretty short supply at the moment too....

    I guess the turbos will be the big factor - but if I were building an engine.. "slightly" higher comp.... clean up the ports... and I am on the right track?

    I understand a good tune (both ECU and cam timing) goes a long way >_<

    For me i would..

    Head:

    Port and polish

    260' Cams with good lift

    Adjustable cam gears (and dialled in properly)

    Bottom End:

    9.0:1 Compression Forged Pistons

    Forged Rods

    Treated crank

    Turbos:

    HKS 2530 or Garret 2860 -5's

    With 1.6-1.9 Bar boost I would expect 400kw atw easily. Im running 2530's with Tomei 260s making 360kw atw on 1.3bar, stock bottom end and no head work. I get full boost around 3,800rpm.

  2. Why?

    They are only rated 50ps more than 2530's ? (GTRS)

    Thats 100hp overall, going GTRS(or -10) compared to 2530(or -5) will come onto full boost later and therefore be a laggier. If you dont mind sacrificing a bit of bottom end power/driveability and a more narrow powerband, then go for the -10's

    Im using HKS 2530's with standard bottom end making 360kw atw on 1.3bar and 300kw atw on 1bar, that is plenty of power for the street. I would never go GTRS or -10 on a street car... My 2 cents >_<

  3. R34 GTR non V-Spec

    Apexi Power FC

    Apexi Air Filters

    Greddy Profec B-Spec 2

    Nismo Air Flow Meters

    Nismo Radiator

    HKS GT Intercooler

    HKS 2530's

    100mm Catback Exhaust

    Impul Front Pipe

    Sard 650cc(i think) Injectors

    Sard Fuel Regulator

    Walbro Intank Pump

    Tomei Type B Poncams

    Tomei Cam Wheels

    Tomei Manifolds

    Tomei Dumps

    Tomei Fuel Rail

    314kw atw on 18psi on first tune.

    Hypertune intake manifold and single throttle body installed, retuned and now making 360kw at 18psi. Still stock bottom end :)

  4. Go for a GT35-66R with 0.82 rear. It is a GT35 with T04Z compressor wheel. It has a 66mm inducer compared to 61mm on the compressor side. Essentialy it is a "high-flow" GT35, that will be more responsive than a T04Z and make similar top end. I know GCG does them, not sure who else does.

  5. 4AGE

    And i wish to keep it trust/greddy .. i want to keep it all jap :) and i dont trust HKS for a variety of previous experiences

    so TD06-20G, TD06-25G, T67, or possibly, just possibly T78

    If it is for 1.6 and you want Trust brand, I would go a Trust TD05-16G or TD05 "Big 16G" from an Evo 1-3, they are good for 200kw atw in an Evo 1-3 with very good powerband. A TD06-20G is still gonna be fairly laggy on a 1.6. I would also forget about doing a 25G on a 1.6, they are still laggy on a 2 litre..

    The Evo TD05-16G is essentially a Trust turbo also, as Trust use all Mitsubishi parts for their turbos.

    Another good option would be a T28 from an S15 if you want good response/power.

    Both of those turbos can be found for under $500 2nd hand in good condition, which would be a much better for your application. Or even a Twin scroll turbo from an Evo 4-9. They are also a TD05 Big 16G, but twin scroll and slightly more powerful, with Evo 9 being the biggest of all the stock Evo turbos.

  6. so keep the standered cams and get some cam wheels?

    but surely HKS is still better than standered?

    Cos i doubt ill ever spend 1000 on poncams

    Yeah, HKS would be better than standard of course. But the Tomei's even better :D ..Tomei's would give a greater peak power/torque throughout the rev-range compared to a similar duration HKS cam i think. (Which is the reason most do a cam upgrade)

    What are the specs of the HKS cams you were looking at? Durations/lift specs?

    Think about what your end result/goal of your car is, and whats gonna work better for you in the long run. If your on a tight budget, then there may be other areas of your car you can upgrade and get better value for $$$ per KW

    Someone on the forum may have used the same HKS cams in their car, hopefully they will find this post and give an opinion from experience

  7. The HKS cams dont have enough lift in my opinion. You would get better results with the Tomei's. Better to spend the money right the first time. I think its been proven many times that Tomei Poncams are the best cam solution for GTR. They run the most lift of all the "drop-in" type cams which i think is important when choosing cams. More lift equals more air to breathe.

    If you just wanna shift your powerband earlier, get a set of cam wheels fitted and dialled in. This will bring power on earlier, but at the expense of top end power dropping off earlier.

  8. I think the software my tuner uses is called "FC Pro" or something similar. Its all in english. 250km's a tank is not good. Is the 02 sensor hooked up/turned on for closed loop operation? Check that in your settings. My tuner advised to leave the function off while tuning/mapping so it doesnt adjust itself and keeps the values you enter. Then turn on the 02sensor for closed loop when finished mapping, which should get better fuel consumption.

  9. If you want to focus on low-mid range power i would try the new Tomei "Type R" poncams for GTR. I think they are around 252 duration, and very effective for low-mid range. Cam gears will also help bring boost/powerband earlier. I wouldnt do cams without out the wheels. I have Tomei type B poncams in mine.

  10. unless you can get it in a small-ass exhaust housing

    it's going on 1.6 :)

    What car? What power are you looking to make? I've got a Garret 2876R 440HP Internal Wastegate turbo that maybe good for that, was on my previous S15. $850. It made 255kw atw on my SR20DET on 19-20psi
