Wonder if you can get electric cam gears, map them to load points in the tune. Now that would allow for some very good gains. Basically be an aftermarket VCT/VVTi

Only problem is you'd probably need a motec to tune it effectively.

HKS VCAM ?

Yep BWRGTR - cam gears ;)

Less than $300 even :)

Just use a NEO head, poormans HKS V-Cam :3some:

Obviously doesnt work as well, but you still get the VCT bonus.

Only issue is you need adaptor for the NEO head to get the 26 plenum and so on (and some porting)

Well it helps with the lower end, which is the ole sticking point of the RB26 in many respects and lets you get the top end also!

So for the cost it's not "too" bad if you are doing a build given you sell off your head etc.

Of course lovely v-cam would be the best option, but @ around 5k... it's not the most affordable solution

Yeah might as well just get a completely different 6 cylinder for that price that already has those sort of features built into it. Pretty sure the VQ35/37 do it.

But then God would send a great flood to punish you for your sins and yeah Nismoid is right, if you know where to look you can get HKS or OS GIKEN cam gears for 300 ish.

For the Turbo Guru's out there when we are referring to the -9's are they the GT2859R-707160-9 model that Garret Lists

I am trying to get pricing on a pair for a GTR

I know the -5's and -7s are the GT2860R - 707160-5 & GT2860R - 707160-7

thanks for the help.

Should I be doing turbos on my new car? its got 80,000 on the clock and I was going to take it into Trent to do power fc / cam gears timing belt service / and basic stage one mods.. would you guys recommend I get trent to do turbos at the same time? how much roughly extra would it cost and am I right in saying it would make about 80kw atw difference?

edit: sorry if i seem noob new the the rb26 game :P

250rwkw is around what you'd expect stock turbps, and then 300rwkw on a unbuilt motor which is nice and safe

overall cost would be around 4k for the lot including turbos/labour/fitting/gaskets etc.

thats not including front pipes (if you don't already have them done, thats more cost)

If you're going to put new pair of turbos, you may as well do the clutch while you're at it (unless you've got one already).

As for you putting the turbos, it all depends whether your standard turbos have sign of letting go or you're power hungry that standard turbo couldn't provide.

That said I've got GT-SS in mine and at 302rwkw it may sound fun but I want more.

Yes Ash is spot on around $4-6k is what you'd be looking at upgrading to bigger turbos.

I should really put up my dyno sheet.

Also looking to find the answer for this. Trying to buy the HKS GT-SS equivalent

Depends on who's site you use. Garrett changed labelling a while ago as well which didnt help so some sites are not updated.

Seems at times American sites have them labelled differently as well.

The GCG link is correct in AUS.

Well I'll be buying them from MTQ here in Adelaide. Guess I'll just ask for Garrett GT2560 -9 /707160 - 9 then push the point that I want the HKS GT-SS equivalants for my GT-R. Hopefully they order the right ones.

Just give em the cartridge number, always get the right one that way.

Shop around, I've found MTQ sometimes to not be the cheapest (same for GCG)

prices seem to vary as much as $100 place to place.

Getting them for about $1,200 per turbo so I doubt I'll find them cheaper.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
