Low end increases? Keep your stock cams then.

For mid-range increases, then 264 degree cams are the go.

The reason people talk about TOMEI poncams is because they are a direct fit (~9.1mm lift).

The HKS cams which are a direct fit are only 8.4mm lift, so most people just go for the TOMEI cams.

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.

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.

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

its just i can get a set of HKS cheap lik 499 new

Brand new Intake & Exhaust side HKS cams for $499? I don't think so.

For your application the Tomei Type B Poncams are the best choice.

The Tomei Type B package that includes Tomei Duralumin cam gears is a very good option

We don't run any cams in RB26's without valve spring upgrades. The standard valve seat pressure is abismal, so the rule of thumb steps we use are;

Up to 9 mm lift = shim the standard valve springs

9 mm to 10 mm = Performance Springs, best value for money and shimmable to achieve the seat pressure desired

Over 10 mm = Jun valve springs, simply the best. Keep in mind the MINOR releaving of the head to clear the cam lobes (not a biggy, but necessary)

All of the above can be accomplished without removing the cylinder head ie; done it situ in the engine bay.

You want more low down performance, TURN UP THE BOOST, nothing else works as well and is that simple.

Happy New Year

Gary

Dont Forget the new GREDDY easy cams, direct fit, supplied as a matched pair with all the centreline checked so that they (in most cases dont need dialing in) , cheap and all have new profiles ground off a brand new machine. 256 9.1mm lift or 264 9.1mm lift available.

^^^ good call, with your setup ADz you should see reasonable power as it is with a decent tune.

oh hey ive budgeted for a tune, sorry didnt put that.. still have around 500 left over... cam gears worth it on standered cams?

what kws est would u think that set up could make>?

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
