cams arent required, the engine makes heaps of torque in the midrange and cams just take away a bit of down low to give it a little more torque up top.

that was my thinking.... but how much loss for how much gain is the question.....

with the 8mr turbo it'll still be responsive enough to cope with the loss i'm guessing. and they definitely sound cool as mentioned, but it's probably not worth the $$$ for what like 10kw?

Response aye.. I hold the secret answer! :P

Nah but srs cams are cool

you do realise you aren't the first person ever to run a PD blower dont you? :P

you dont have to use tags, you just fail at pasting the links in the correct way.

that honda sounds more like its running rotational idle rather than cams.

thats with standard cams.

cycle idle / rotational idle is the ducks nuts... vipec/link does it so i'm surprised we dont see it in skylines more often....

With cams (depending on the lobe design/size) I think people need to see it as less down low and more up top + less traffic diveability.

Is that cycle idle thing the same as antilag?

no, however it is often used in conjunction.

car idles a little higher and drops a different cylinder on each rotation, hence cooling them

it's only used during idle and stops when the revs increase

a lot of them feel like that HAVE to find something, so you chuck in a broken parker light or so on, and they get to fail you, and then you can just change it out and they will pass it

Gmail saved my ass yet again.

Yes, yes I was. :technology-these-days:

I guess that's one benefit of google harvesting information from your email address. In the end they make money from your data.

I think they got in trouble couple months ago for having google ads linked to keywords in emails lol

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
