Just to clarify - and sorry if this is kind of OT, when you say "1000hp" I'm assuming you mean at the fly wheel?   A GTX4294R sits in a weird place between being arguably quite a bit too small for 1000hp @ wheels on a Dyno Dynamics, and there being much smaller/more responsive turbos that would go past that power at the crank as well.
I'm assuming that the actual aim is to run to the limit of the GTX4294R?

100% correct.

I see and hear all sorts of figures. From 650hp all out to 1100hp. I am sure it will be stupid fast no matter what.

Considering the "relatively low" RPM limit here which is 8000RPM, would it need a 270/280/290 degree shaft? A GTX 4294 is no GTX55 or something outrageous.

Considering it's a street car, I'd err on the side of "less is more" here if idle quality and all the rest of the things that make a nice streeter is important.

Exactly..put some 260s somethings in it..and enjoy the f**kin thing...

I have some Kelford split duration 274's that were a bit too big for my set up but perfect for yours if you are interested?

were they the 182-S cams (274/10.8mm)?

Im interested in what you mean by too big, as in the powerband was a bit too late for the turbo you were running? i cant remember if you've got a 6262 or 6466?

JHH and kelford recommended them to me running a 2.6L with an 8374 on E85.

Yes 182-S

Power band shifter too far right for me, I really want/need down low grunt for the kind of track and sprint work I do, it's a 6262.

8374 is similar sized to my 6262 from most accounts so I'd personally be going smaller duration (I've now got 260's but haven't tuned it yet to see if there is a big improvment) 

If you do decide to go the 182-S let me know because you will be able to save a few hundred buying from me :)

Will keep that in mind, thanks Simon

currently running 260/9.15 poncams so will see how they go before doing anything drastic.

You're in luck as I've actually done a direct back to back with Type-B poncams and 182S

Same response but 690 vs 750 hp at high boost... 182S made same power and response with 0.4bar less boost

Wouldn't have an overlay of that at all.

The humble Type B poocam that everyone loves once again fails to perform. ?

Don't take this as gospel as everything isn't totally apples with apples as there were some differences in the head (intake squish removed on the head that had the GREX and 182S cams) but should give you a rough idea.

I've now got a custom grind 260 that should be as good as the GREX cams or even a bit better *fingers crossed*

Update, the custom grinds ended up working well (although the GREX were still mighty in hindsight)

Nice - cheers for sharing, I'm guessing the newest are the 182Rs? Considering the power they are making they delivery very very well everywhere!

Edit: They really are custom... there is nothing to that spec on the website, what specs are they?

Yes, 182R are newest (I think they were actually labelled 182X on the box)... They are custom 260 10.3mm ones from Kelford

What's the duration at 50 thou?

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
