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.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
