PON CAMS V CAMTECH 272

Hey guys,

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction with either or link or shedding some light on my next modification. I am looking at purchasing Cams for my R34 GTT already pushing 330RWKW, can any one let me know what the cons and pros are going with Tomei drop ins 260 as oppose to the Camtech 272. My 34 has the following modifications:

 1000cc Bosch Injectors

- Walbro 460 Fuel Pump

- Full Turbo Back Exhaust 3 inch

- Custom Dump pipe

- Garret 3076 Turbocharger

- Power FC ECU tuned on E85 ( UniGroup Tune)

- Greddy Electronic Boost Controller

- Tomei Head Gasket

- Screamer pipe

Would be good to get some ideas on what would be best for my setup and why as well as knowing which one would sound better on idle :P which is just a bonus.

 

Thanks peeps.

what are you trying to do for starters? 

do you want the torque to be more linear or do you want to stretch out the power band or you're chasing a few kW up top or you just want brappy cams fordaslarts? 

And I wonder how that timing map looks like :)

If you're after fappy brap brap noise, go the cheapest 272 cams you can find with or without VCT support. 

if you want something that works, without the brap and not losing down low get the Tomei Poncams with VCT support.

I'm looking for both benefits, performance and the Brap brap, tuner has advised 272 Camtech - what performance differences would i see with the 272 as opposed to poncams ? @Dose Pipe Sutututu

Edited by cesar34

you will make more power with the 272 however you'll notice your turbo will be much lazier coming on as you've shifted your motor's efficiency to the right..

depends how you drive it, and the car's intended usage.

Poncams will suit what you want performance wise then get your tuner to use rotational idle for lumpy lumpy sound

sounds nice ! but wouldn't that also be due to your side pipes that is quite loud ?  @bcozican

Sidepipe makes it louder and crisp but idle it idle if your going to run a muffler etc its always going to be toned down

 

Ive run 500-550 rwhp on rb25s with poncams both with and without springs. Mose well go springs if you can

what did you find the difference to be from stock cams to poncams ? and whats the most 'legal' looking way to get them to sound more aggressive, simply removing the muffler ? 

 

thanks heaps

to be honest Ive never had stock cams always had poncams straight off ...  but if you look at all the results poncams on average increase your torque a bit and mid / top power a bit and move the curve to the right just a bit

 

I say bit ... because every car engine is a little different

 

Sorry don't know how to best do it 'legally' as Ive always had straight through pipes but Id say taking your muffler off is one of the least legal ways. By my thinking maybe just rotational Idle ... but it will just be dampened a bit compared to not running a muffler. Still get lumpy etc but nothing is actually illegal especially if  you still come under the legal DB reading.

one of the end goals as well is trying to figure out ways these GTT skylines can beat your 280kw Evos, before i make a new thread any sort of suggestions ? i use to have an Evo and got the right offer for it so i chose to give a skyline a go but seems to struggle to beat 300kw Evos ?

 

thanks @bcozican

Beat them at what ?? street, track, drags ?

Not really comparing apples with apples but your GTT is more than capable or at least very close to it and it all depends on budget. I don't have no ever driven a 4wd / awd car but from reading bang for your buck they are hard to beat so hazard a guess you'll have to spend 'more' on the gtt to be the same to compensate for 1) new tech and 2) rwd vs awd

There are a number of threads in the motorsport section and projects and builds section where specifically gtt's but other rwd skylines have been developed to the point where they'd match evo's and the like so take what you can from those also.

You have enough power so it comes down to :

Driver skills / seat time

Brakes

Suspension

Tyres

Weight

Work out your budget and get the 'best' you can get of each of those as you go and it'll go a long way to where you want to be

awesome man, looking more in the roll racing rather then track, driving an Evo before i definitely know that around a track they have the upper hand ! but down the straights they are still quite competitive @bcozican

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
