Too big, you will lose idle quality, and low down cylinder filling. Not a really good cam design, as for the same result, you would run more lift and less duration. This is a compromise so the head doesnt have to be modified. I would recommend 264's in and ex, or maybe a 272ex, you will probably only gain 30rwkw, as the turbos will hold you back

forgetting that i'm selling cams, my opinion, in agreeance with Adriano, is that the cams you propose will be a bit big for N1s.

will be crap down low and want to idle at 1200, and too much overlap down low so won't help low end performace...

fyi with the poncams on garret 2860s mine made 340rwkw at 19psi...

yep, too much duration, not enough lift. buy my cams so I can fly to melbourne and punch ronin_09 in the nuts! lol.

I guess if they are really cheap you could give them a crack but there is a shit load of time and/or money in installing the cams, checking all of the valve clearances (and possibly replacing a lot of shims) just to find out that your cams have too much duration and not enough lift...

But these will cost me alot less than $650

So? As has already been mentioned they are completely unsuitable for your application.

Tomei Type B Poncams would be the ideal choice, being a drop in cam that doesn't require any modification or machining of the head.

More to the point though, if you are chasing more power I suggest you start by reviewing your list of mods and directing more attention at other items that are restricting your engines potential, ie the fact you are running standard injectors.

I would be replacing the injectors with something along the lines of Sard 700's and getting a retune first and see what sort of results you can achieve, then look at adding some new cams down the line.

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
