To start with, you need to do some more reading.

Poncams are cams...they are made by Tomei and these cam-shafts are called Poncams as they are their baseline general performance increase product.

Cam gears will allow you to move the torque curve to a better position.

Cams will increase torque or efficiency at certain levels, there is many different cam profiles available and each does a different thing.

What mods do you have?

The car already has exhaust,ebc and clutch. Looking at modifying the car for the least amount of money for the max amount of power without scarificing reliabilty. Will definetly add computer - they say with computer,ebc, exhaust and 1bar boost i should get about 250rwkw.I was told with cams gears as well i might get 270rwkw ,( no cams were mentioned though ). Any more power , then thats where more bucks are needed like turbos, injectors, fuel pump etc. I don't want to spend excessive money to get a little more power if u know waht i mean . A pfc and tune will cost me 1500 and cam gears about 1500 . So for 3k i could get up to 270 rwkw .On a stock engine i think 300rwkw with be about the max even with aftermarkerket turboes, inj and pump added ( which would cost another 5k for 30 kw.

cheers

Inexpensive, Fast and Relliable. Pick any 2. :happy:

Your not going to get anywhere near 250kw with the stock turbo, let alone 270. 1bar of boost on the stock turbo isn't going to do wonders for it as well.

I am running 11psi, Front mount, Full 3" exhaust, POD filter and PFC. Last dyno, which was without the PFC (had a S-AFC 2) got me 217kw. And I am quite sure it was a fairly high reading. I would expect I have something more like 200-210kw.

People running bigger turbo's, like the GT-RS are netting around 250rwkw, maybe a bit more. And thats with bigger injectors and a tuned PFC.

Hate to tell you mate but $3k isn't going to get you 250kw. Not by a long shot.

Mate not only do you need to factor in a bigger turbo to get the 250rwkw number, you'll also need upgraded fuel pumps and depending on what injectors you go for (or remain standard) the fuel pressure will need fiddling...

$3k? maybe look at a r34 smic and finish the rest of your exhaust off, hi-flo cat dumps etc... Or spend it on handlign and the car will feel heaps better

I assumed from this statement he was talking about the RB25DET's issues with 300kw and above. Aftermarket turbo's pump and inj on an RB26 would net far more than 300kw wouldn't it? Not sure either but don't the 26's easily handle above 300 with stock internals?

my r32 gtr has 241kw @ all 4s at 1 bar with stock turbos, greddy cam gears, hks dumps, bee-r front pipe and custom 3inch cat back with straight pipes, apexi pfc, trust 100mm fmic

tuned and powered at protek automotive

maybe this helps

and you will need around 6gz+ to get 300rwkw on a gtr and thats including all the mods to your gtr

best upgrade for standard GTR ( well R32 at least ) is programable ECU, adjustable cam gears on standard cams ( 4 degrees retard on inlet 2 degrees advance on exhaust if i remember correctly )then tune lifting boost. Boost level will be dependent on the turbos the car has, not sure whats a safe level for R34 turbos?

This is going to set you back over 2k though.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
