Had the cams dialed in yesterday and another couple of hours tune as well as the warranty EVC6 installed.

Attached is comparison of before and after graphs showing power, torque, boost and afrs. Blue is yesterdays one, red was the last tune which really was a very good tune but with cams set on 0,0.

For recap of parts the car has that are relevant:

Stock bottom RB26.

tomei pon B's

GTSS's

EVC6

mines stainless pro front pipes, 3.5 inch kakimoto mega N1 rear, tomei manifolds

HKS extension kit,

PFC djetro

splitfires

Nismo adjustable F/R

HKS intank F/pump

HKS racing chamber kit, cooling pro intercooler hard pipe kit

Sard 700cc injectors

M's intakes

You can see the warranty replacement EVC 6 is holding a nice steady boost to redline and held a flat 18psi to redline but we decided to reduce the boost at the top end to cap power at 436.7 rwhp given it is still a stock bottom end.

The funny thing is, I am making 5 rwhp more peak power, with less boost and more fuel now that the cams are dialed in (a flat AFR of about 11.8 compared to 12 before). As can be seen from boost, power and torque, the whole curve has shifted by about 1,000 rpm to the left and I actually hit peak power at about 7,300 rpm instead of 8,000 rpm, meaning I can safely change under redline without sacrificing power. I checked on the road this morning and I hit 16.7psi at 3,000 rpm and max 18.6 at 3,380 rpm haha, full boost below 3,500 rpm is what I call response.

The idle is so lumpy, it sounds frigging ace, people pull up next to me and the car is bobbing side to side and just sounds like an absolute weapon. Seat of the pants feel of that extra low down torque is HUGEEEEEEEE.

All I can say is that I am absolutely stoked, and cannot recommend Ant Scali at Xspeed high enough, he truly is an absolute champ.

Me thinking of not selling the car now haha,

Was the response gain more from the EVC now working correctly do you know? (ie, was the EVC totally re-setup when the cams were 0-0)???

Pre-adjust graph looks like the EVC was lazy (off even?), i say that as mine are more responsive just off the actuators without any real work being done.

GT-SS's are love for a 2.6ltr, no question :D

No the first one was before the new EVC6 was installed (it was the tune from a few weeks ago) so in that respect it is not a proper comparison mate :D. I know you just hate comparisons that are not comparing the same thing, so the difference might not be all the cams.

I did speak with Ant about this and he thought the EVC was ramping up okay, just not holding boost and I personally think that mine with tomei cams on zero zero looks lazy compared to yours with stock cams because stock cams on zero zero will allow boost to ramp up better than tomei's on zero zero simply because tomei's are not really designed to run zero zero whereas Nissan designed the stock cams to run zero zero (maybe I am wrong but i sorta makes sense)??

Great result, that is about 325kW, pretty good at 18psi would be interesting to see if you could get much more out of them, maybe the 422kW HKS claim on their website... Also they state using 264deg. cams, anyone used them with GT-SS's?.

hehe, ye, i hate comparo's that kinda aren't :D

Nah, im running cam gears far as i know (i haven't looked). Then i might not be... hrm. Interesting that, i must find out.

Nissan designed the stock cams for stock cars and whatever other restrictions at the time (exhaust size due to noise, also emissions, fuels perhaps, and whever else you might think could be valid)...

Changing the gears and adjusting them etc etc is well known to get response and midrange, similar to cams really as a car company would design for the best overall within their restrictions.

that peak power is only at 16psi, it is at 18 earlier on in the rev range but we had to reduce the boost at peak power because it was making too much at 18psi, it was over 450rwhp (457 IIRC) but I wanted stock bottom end safe so we reduced it back down to 16 psi at 436rwhp which is heaps enough anyway.

If we screwed 21 psi into her, I reckon id crack 475rwhp but I dont want her to blow, I want to enjoy her for many kilometres to come while I build my secret RB26 stoker.....

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
