Why poncams to run stock injectors and 10-12psi..doubt that will have any gains

more mid range not chasing big power, im want cams regardless and i like the idea of trying to get the most out of it on lower boost as its a daily.

I dont think that boost PSI will get any or more midrange that the std turbo does at that same PSI...

you need to read some more about modifications before making any more decisions...

Daily drivability? How often are you going to be above 4000rpm and how long are you staying there? If anything the cams will cost you low end power.

in saying that you dont actually need a new turbo then...

more mid range from cams. the tomei 256 pon cams have approx 15% more lift and 256 duration is a mild increase over stock 240.

reason for hi-flow is my stock one is on its way out.

running 10-12 psi on a highflow or any other upgrade from stock will not make use of the cams

cams on low psi wont see their potential imo.... plus it will be an extra $1000 spent on cams and install that could generate more midrange with other parts

How is your stock turbo on the way out?

They tend to work or toss the turbine wheel down the cat.

People are genuinely trying to help you. If you feel that you must upgrade then there is much more to be gained from the turbo than you can ever hope to get out of 256 deg poncams.

whineing/rubbing sounds from turbo (and no its different from the spooling sound) so took off all the intake to get to the intake turbine didnt look too healthy and a fair bit of play side to side) front and back.

thanks a lot for your comments i know my ideas of modding are not orthadox. im just interested in getting the most out of it with low boost, knowing its not value for money or getting the most out of mods, but thats just what i like.

cheers

Ahb u do realise just because you use 10-12psi on another turbo other than stock turbo spec that you cant get away with using a std ecu, turbos flow different amounts, its not dictated by boost psi...

Im all about the mid range and response, i chose the right turbo but i had no preconception about what boost i would end up using, i used the psi that gave the result.

Ill do cams one day but i wouldnt put it at the top of my list infact i dont thing anyone does, so goahead be different see what happens, dont ask us you already know apparantly

Are you only running lower boost for engine safety/so you won't blow your engine?

If so, wind in 18 psi and take it to a good tuner and it should be fine. Running more boost will give you a much fatter mid range (which you say you want) and utilize the poncams more as well, win win situation I say!

yeah i plan on using getting a z32 ecu and going down the line of a nisune. i take it you cant just buy "a kit" to mod the ecu to suit r33

Get in contact with nistune and see if they have any z32 ecu's laying around. There is a specific version of the z32 ecu that tends to work a bit better so ask them which one it is if they arent able to supply one. If they cant supply one then source the correct type one from somewhere and send it to nistune to solder in the nistune board (you pay them for the board and labor obviously). There may even be a few in the for sale section at the moment from memory. Then it's just plug n play.

If you're in Canberra the only place that does nistunes is Autotech out at Hume. When I asked them about the nistuned z32 ecu into an r33 gtst they didn't know a lot about it, so I went interstate.

yeah canberras pretty average

cheers

Really wish people would thoroughly research modifications before saying give me "two of the big ones". Or at least garner a basic understanding of their purpose...

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
