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!

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
