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.

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
