Well if you hadnt noticed your thread says im after 350rwhp. Your asking the wrong questions.

Get a suitable turbo first!

Well according to the workshop there are cars (r33) making 358rwhp with the same hi-flow turbo with supporting mods (which I do have btw), so I think it's fair for me to expect 350 out of mine too...

And I can't justify spending $3000 - 3500 on a new turbo setup to achieve 350rwhp..

The fact is it's making 300hp at 15psi (boost drops from 18 to 15), and I think HKS actuator is the way to go atm... at most I lose $200 and still have 300hp, but if I'm lucky it may hit 320-330 mark ;)

ECU???

It's a Remap ECU ..done by Toshi (I'm pretty happy with the job he done)

Do people know how much you can get out of a high flowed r33 turbo? Mines a RB25 and im making 290Hp at 12psi. But they guy that tunes it said he wound the boost up too 20psi but only got about 10 more Hp. Does this sound right?
SO is that to say if i have the same mods and high flow turbo and im not making near that power with more boost then my tuner did a crap job?

290hp @ 12psi sounds right, but 300 @20psi??? something's wrong some where.... I'm not an expert, but I don't think a hi-flow turbo can hold 20psi, yours must be dropping boost at high rpm just like mine.. as far as I know, the ignition timing is involved here as well

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.
