So in your opinion cams are a must for maximum efficientcy. Thats a fantastic difference from 260 to 300. I think with the housing that Robo has and most certainly my .82 there could be big gains in cams of say, 256inlet/260 exhaust due to the freeing up of the exhaust and because the turbo is is now very efficient but the motor less so.

When the cams went in the first thing we noticed was power was up slightly but it allowed more ignition to be pushed in which is where the power picked up noticeably.

I was always taught that anything you can do to reduce the restrictions on the hot side pays off by reducing exhaust gas reversion , better cam profiles help achieve this by opening the exhaust valves further and for a bit longer .

The trick seems to be matching the valve timing with the static compression ratio once the exhaust restrictions ie exhaust system / turbos hot side have been reduced . It falls in step with the greater gas throughput (air and exhaust) for less than or equal resistance to flow - pressure rise .

Robo, The Z32 AFM what peak voltage are you seeing?

I run GTR 444 injectors. They flowed 440cc at 36psi and 480cc at 40psi.

At base pressure they were maxed as 260rwkw approached (Z32 saw 4.78volts) to hold a 11.8:1 afr.

A 1afr point drop at idle (adj fpr) and fitting cams has seen them go to 302rwkw at 90% duty and a flat 12:1 afr. 302rwkw I'm now seeing a flat 5volts on the Z32.

I'd really like a 3.5" exhaust with 2 large body mufflers in an attempt to keep the noise down.

Not sure, i will look at the volts next time.

robos i had the same turbo set up on my rb25det a few years ago. with the same problem. too much back pressure with a/r.63 exhaust housing so runs out of flow at 22psi rougthly 6000rpm. you can fix this with a/r .82 internal wastegate exhaust housing im quite sure that gcg in sydney can source one. i changed my mind last minute and upgraded to gt3040 600hp turbo with a/r .82 exhaust housing instead. as for the boost falling away from 22psi to 19psi. this is something that you will really struggle to fix running an internal wastegate. are you running a 1 bar actuater? you can buy these from gcg in sydney as well or hks one from nengun.com. the only other alternative to hold more boost is to run 24psi which will hold over 20psi at 6000rpm but obviously no good with stock internals.

and for safety sake go and get your injectors hi flowed at avo in melbourne , cheap insurance. dont listen to anybody that says hi flowing standard injectors effects idle e.t.c. i had absolutely no problems with mine.hopes this helps cheers carl. p.s. i never got anywhere near an 11second pass with this set up. too much wheelspin down low and not enough flow up high in the rev range but very nice mid range for the street! but having said this looking at what you got with the hks 2535 you and your car are both freak performers. i should have got you to punt my car down the quarter mile probably would have pulled an eleven!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
