Ive also considered this upgrade but unsure if the benefits are worth it? currently 340kw at wheels thru a gt35r.

house mate went 272 camtechs with precision 6765 and makes over 500 atw but the idle is just so angry its unreal.

256 tomei seem so popular?

There popular because there direct bolt in, retain vct and are big enough for most setups without having to have big compromises when compared to stock cams so good alround performance gain.

Hey guys, I'm in the same position as the op and thought I'd join this thread instead of starting a new one.

It's an rb25 in a 31 making 300kw @ 18psi.

Would a set of 264's be a good choice? This is what I've been leaning towards.

It's a daily but mostly just for fun (don't mind losing a bit of response and torque for some good 4000rpm+ gains).

Obviously I'd get cam gears and valve springs to suit, what company would you go with?

Cheers in advance.

As above - go the Poncams, keep the VCT, forget the cam gears or get an exhaust only.

dont know what turbo you have but a smaller rear housing and upgrade to e flex would be alot more beneficial than cams i think,

Im still not sure if the cams are a good thing for upto 300kw, could possibly create a bit of lag.. no arguments after 4000rpm though, on the streets where revs are usually below 4000rpm the cams might not be such a great thing

The Tomei Poncams are great value for money..... Mine and Ian's setups are near identical yet i have cams and his are stock (This is NEO so still relevant as a comparison i guess), he makes peak power of 345kw i make peak power of 360kw and the boost curve looks very very similar however i think mine has a touch more midrange. My car idles like its dead stock as the idle is set at 900rpm and there is no lumpiness or anger to be heard. YES i have a HKS exhaust cam gear too.

has anyone done before and after runs with/without cams?

im interested to see the actual difference they make, just upgrading cams

Thats what i was getting at above man, our setups are nearly identical.... The only difference is the cams (actually i have a full exhaust which may hold mine back a little) but it shows the power does increase with no loss of response as far as i can see.

ahh cool! so what about below 4k? before/after?

Mines not that exciting below 4k, yours will react different I reckon BUT I reckon it'll be an awesome addition to your setup :yes:

I run a ported 25, with t04z and 1.05 rear, I dont get my boost on hard till 4800 rpm, im hoping cams, and a .83 rear will bring it hard from 4k. which is what i want. Im not interested in twisting the earth at 3000 revs...

Why do you have a TO4Z and your only making 338rwkW?

Well I bought the whole top end second hand, and I plan to get it on e85 in the next year or 2 when its available and do few more supporting bits for around 380-400. I love the oversize turbo, I get killer economy, its safe in the wet, and i get great top end. When it was bought 1.05 rears were only available. It'll be a bit snappier with a small housing.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
