upgrading to lets say tomei stage 1 proncams would give you more lift and duratiopn and that'll improve mid-top range! but cam gears allow you to adjust them to bring boost on earlier and so, but i'm no guru so someone else might have to explain! but my plan is to just get an exhaust cam gear and run the standard cams which i was told it'll be better for the power i'm aiming for!

how much of a difference would cams and cam gears make?

sorry to steal your thread but since its about lag and power

how would a gt3540 off an xr6t go on an rb25?

the gt35/40 from a xr6 is too big for a standard engine coz i think it runs a 1.06 rear exhaust housing internal gate, to make it more responsive maybe put a .63 exhaust housing on it

ive got a gt35/40 .82 housing and external gate on my forged rb25 engine and its still laggy even with cams and cam gears, what brings my boost on quicker is my 6boost exhaust manilfold but when it comes on to boost at about 3,700/4000rpm it hits HARD!!!!

do aftermarket exhaust manifolds make much difference? any1 selling a decent one?

they suppose to give you better flow but are only worth upgrading to if you want a top mount turbo set up or using a bigger turbo on a lowmount setup, ive noticed the stainless steel manifolds crack around the welds, but they give ya exhaust note a crisper sound

if u wanna go aftermarket get a tune lengthed manifold made of steampipe

on a internally standard motor stick with the standard cast manifold and if u wanna run a bigger turbo use a spacer plate

Ahh I see, I'm not chasing too much power, id be happy with around 250ish at the wheels with response on standard block... trying to get the car setup for track/hill climb. Working on a budget and xr6t gt3540's seem to go fairly cheap.

better off buying my gt30 hiflow and u will get 250 easy and not even much lag.

haha sounds good but i don't think i have the $$ you'd be chasing atm... just blew a load of cash on brakes and suspension upgrades hehe

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
