Consider they are the OEM item for a fairly well tuned OEM motor (R34 n1). Going to an enormous cam would be futile in a search for gains.

Consider again that they are well within the motors factory scope and a cost benefit analysis will begin to form.

Ultimately when wouldn't a ported head and the right cams be good? I say if your really serious about maxing out what you've got you should look harder at step 1 based cams and relax on the dreams of expensive port jobs. Be it myself I would run a set of gears as it seems the forum has proved they are a bang for buck performer.

step 1 cam size can be seen as 25x or milder 26x variants.. GL

Sell cams, buy cam gears and save the difference. Or if the cash is burning a hole in your pocket post details of your setup and we'll suggest something much more useful to spend it on.

well what i have got a the moment is the cams ported head 550cc injectors new r33 cranck stock rods, n1 piston 1mm o/s. cam gears n1 oil pump -7 turbos .arp bolts .. this engine was a stillway built engine but when i pulled it done every thing was stuffed and it was running a t88 turbo.. any ideas on what would be a good combo for these -7 turbos ...and would any one want to buy these greddy 272 degrees cams???

Dyno, I've also driven both cars on the street afterwards.

Both got to within 4rwkw of each other at 8000rpm (both around 305rwkw), the one with tomei cams is all over the OEM cam'd one until about 5500/6000rpm (from memory, may be slightly less, i dont have the dyno sheet here) where they are then dead even until redline.

very interesting.. finally someone with real results for poncam b on GTR, I've been on the fence as most say it's not worth the money vs result and stock works well

were they dialled in or left at zero?

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
