1) SARDs are "generally" OK being a drop in injector that re-uses the old plugs

2) Camshafts? Might as well get the Tomei Poncam + Gear package if you got $5k to play with

3) Nismo / Tomei fuel pump will kick Bosch ass anyday

4) Nismo FPR (straight bolt on to the factory fuel rail)

Sards are not direct fit from what i saw. I watched them being installed onto a GTR two weeks ago :)

Was a bit of farting around to get the connector to fit, least they are not as bad as years ago... if you count that as a good thing

Cams for 300rwkw you wont need i dont think cost vs gain the cam gears come out clear winners for a couple hundred.

Dont see how one fuel pump is better than another, especially when price comes into it

I also doubt you'll need an FPR. Stock ones are fine.

Hanyou, send a pm to ferni, find out his setup as he has around 300rwkw on stock AFM/injectors.

Cheers

So the plugs need to be changed / adapted with the SARDs?

I'd go for the camshafts - 300rwkw + high flowed turbos will be more than enough to make use of the cams (I'm only talking about Poncams here 260 degree 9.15mm lift).

Fuel pump; Tomei and Nismo take 20minutes to install... Bosch pumps take more because 1) there is no bracket; 2) you have to locate a good place for fuel pickup that will also reach the bottom 3) you need to do new wiring (possibly even the constant voltage trick). For the extra $200 I would get a pump that is completely drop in with nothing to worry about.

FPR is not required; agreed. Nonetheless - not a bad thing to have if you want to push out that little bit extra or set a base pressure to go by - I know of a few tuners who do this.

I'd be looking at a catch can system as well - quite a few GTRs with 300rwkw start to experience oil problems (especially those that see a lot of track time).

Yeah from what i saw :huh:

Needed some love, wasnt a direct fit, and, even with the mod... i wouldnt be confident of them not presenting issues further in time

ive decided cam gears will be enough, i've pm'd ferni about his setup as well. however id be assuming that the injectors/fuel pump would be running right to their limit?.

another question: do injectors need to be fitted same time with engine management?.

back onto the fuel pump topic. the only reason i was gna opt for the nismo/tomei pump was due to there is no sock thats attatched to the bosch?. ive had a 040 in my r33 gtst before didnt have any problems. i guess it just comes down to who installs it?

Get the engine management and the injectors put in at the same time and save of installation/tuning costs unless you install the ECU yourself (I did with my PFC) and run on the base map for a short while.

f**k pfc get a wolf v500 $1795.00

Real helpful

things i think you need.

nismo pump

sard 700cc injectors (they are pretty much a direct fit on RB26, perhaps you will need new o-rings, but i have seen people re-use them).

tomei poncams 260/9.15mm (get the set with pulleys, it's cheap)

Apexi Power FC

and a good boost controller if you don't have one already. easy as pie. and the nismo pump and power FC you can install yourself to save a couple of bucks.

AFM.s You will need the RB25 or Z32 Type...Plus adaptors....

Or if you have the money...Nismo type...same size as yours...fit on and tune

Sorry, but you are wrong. Unless hanyou's AFM's are already on the way out there is no need to change them.

offnsv: have you got a part number for those injectors? thanks

ill stick with the nismo pump option then since i can do it myself lol.

can someone explain the difference between poncams and cams? or are they the same thing?..

if i could save money on just using cam gears to hit my power level it would be better for me as i could get some rims.. LOL

poncams=cams. it's just tomei's name for their bolt in camshaft range.

i'm not sure how well these turbos perform so it's hard to say, but it certainly is possible to get 300rwkw without cams as long as you have the right turbos and run enough boost through them.

personally I would buy the cams and gears together from tomei. the set is quite cheap for what you get.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
