hi all.

looking at a set of cams for a 34gtr motor.

they are HKS 256degree 8.7mm lift.

ive had a quick look but cant find if these are a streetable cam or more track.

they are able to go in with no mods to head,

i understand it all depense what they are paired up with in the car,

cheers

I think these cams are the smallest duration that HKS do as an upgrade.

They'd be a pretty good street cam IMO.

the duration is longer than stock and the lift is better than stock.

from my understanding the longer the duration the later the power will come on, so a 272 degree cam with same lift will come on much later and have some overlap at idle giving it a lumpy idle.

i think 8.7mm lift shouldn't be a worry for the std springs,

is there any reason why you're upgrading cams? are the stockers limiting power?

i've got a stock head and std cams and am pushing 370rwkw so the std ones are definitely good for that level, and idle and response is the best its going to be.

I agree. Why are you looking at cam upgrade. You can get over 400kw at wheels out of std engine before looking at cams.

If you are going to expense of building tough engine from bottom up then small cams waste of time. I jumped straight to

272 10.2 with first engine then 290 11.7 with next. if you are modifying you cant mess around.

Stick with turbos, fuel, etc and leave the cams till you go for it............ I ran 11.10 @127 back in 2002 on the STD engine

with bolt on 2540s and bigger injectors.

Depends what you want but make sure all parts match. 34 engine will make great power with bolt ons.

How fast do you really want to go?

Im after a legit street spec engine. I would say 300 or so at all four wpuld b nice. So say 340rears.

Will i gain much with cams, cam wheels etc? Or is the gain just small b4 the 400 mark?

Lag is an apsolute no no

I was thinking

Stock turbos with upped boost

Fuel pump

Inj

Power fc

Cams

Good turbo back zorst

No need to do intakes as i want it clean...

Dont really need much more power Wise...??

Coolere legit, stock turbos are fine for low to mid range with a decent strenght to hold a bit of pressure

leave the stock cams but get adjustable cam gears and replace the stock turbos with N1's (-7s) or -9s, the standard ones wont last at (and probably wont even make) that power.

also there wont be much if any difference between RWKW and AWKW, certainly not that much at that level

If ur talking standard r34 turbos I've seen them make 294rwkw, but were soon swapped out for 2530's so don't know exactly how long they'd last, but they won't last long at all, best turbo for 350awkw in my eyes would be 2530's. They work real nice with great response for that power on a standard 2.6l Motor

Yep 2530s are the go. Years ago I went to 2540s and they KILLED the respose and bottom end.

I've got -10s now on my 3.2L and they haul ass from right down low but would be a bit lagggy on 2.6L

For 350rwkw you should not need to touch the cams or internals at all. Agree on cam gears though.

Back in the day we went as high as 396rwkw using the std cams and std internals (of course at that power

the std internals did not last long!!!)

Yeah ok, is the 2530 a direct bolt up, and r there diff models? I no that my 2535 ive gpt on stag was a 56t or sumthing??

Has any one got results from

Power fc

Cam gears

Fuel pump

550cc ??? Inj

Airbox seems more than enough and looks nice

Then with 2530s?

Whats the point behind the hard piping cooler kits n

So on? Replacment or a mod!?:s

Excuse my lack of gtr knowledge :)

Also do 040s fit in easy? Didnt like the looks of the nismo pump at 600 on ebay lol..!

The hard pipe kit is a good upgrade over the plastic (shitty) pipes when running above stock boost.

But seriously, speak to Willall (club sponsor) who has done all the homework on these things already and has taken all the guess work out of it.

Martin will be able to point you in the right direction quickly as to what to do.....and more importantly, what not to do.

Do it once...do it right...and save a packet in the long run.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
