Take care of michaels car :thumbsup:

good friend of mine

So bro, (op)

What happened to making the decision yesterday?

You have all the information in the world. All of us have elaborated so much in this thread, that you should know by now what you would much rather want.

Have the invoice on my work desk. Will be paying for a set of -9s first thing tomorrow morning

Ahh thats the michael u mean. Bout to start swapping his turbo's over. Then injectors and a tune. Should make a little bit more than the 210kw he has at the moment

No Greddy dump/front pipe extension. Standard AFM maxing and I didn't want to push past it. I'm happy with what it makes and it pulls like a f**king train all the way to redline. Thinking of going Nismo AFM later and playing with the cam gears a bit more to make it more responsive, while making a bit more power.

Which is what I don't have. Need to sort out a big 4" high flow cat or something.

You should be into the 300s with 19psi

That would be choking your setup and a quick simple install and retune and car will feel

Even better

Okay, bumping up this old thread!

-9's look like the best for the response.

However, if someone was to go -5's and threw in some Tomei Type R cams, would we still be talking about this huge lag?

I'm pretty new to this, but I would think a set of cams built for response could indeed reduce this lag? Maybe even Mine's cams hehe

You simply won't be able to to put cams in to combat the size of the turbos when talking about those two choices. Yes that big difference in lag will always be there although you may reduce it by a bit It's not going to go away completely and won't ever be equal between the two turbo choices

A set of -9's and low duration cams would be heaps for the street.

However, if someone was to go -5's and threw in some Tomei Type R cams, would we still be talking about this huge lag?

Larger cams will not magically give you 500rpm better response on the street or on/off throttle.

    • Say you've just laid all your filler and your about to start sanding, how large is the sanding block your using?  Like a high fill primer? Technically possible but would be a nightmare. Just guessing from the photo, but they look small enough that you might get away with using a 1k spot putty. Normally you'd use something like this on pinholes but with the type of project you're working on I'd give it a go. 
    • Omg Brake pedal removal.. FML!!
    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
